Ngạc nhiên chưa? Photo by Darius Bashar on Unsplash

'Have eyes like saucers' = có đôi mắt to như chiếc đĩa đựng cốc -> nhìn ai hay thứ gì đó với đôi mắt mở to vì ngạc nhiên hoặc kinh sợ.

Ví dụ
When meeting Simon most kids have eyes like saucers. Some are curious (tò mò) and ask questions; others run from the room yelling (hét lên) that it’s too weird (kì lạ). ‘It’s just my Dadda,’ says Raife with a shrug (nhún vai).

“This was during the 50s and I remember Dr. White saying we are going to grow up with TV and people are going to have eyes like saucers and brains like thimbles (Cái đê dùng để bảo vệ và để đẩy kim khi khâu vá). I think he was exactly right and now computers have come along and taken over.

“Grave of the Fireflies’ is an emotional experience so powerful that it forces a rethinking of animation,” wrote movie critic (nhà phê bình) Roger Ebert, who included both films on his Great Movies list. “Yes, it’s a cartoon, and the kids have eyes like saucers, but it belongs on any list of the greatest war films ever made.”
