"Cock an eye (at someone or something)" nghĩa là liếc mắt chăm chú nhìn.

Ví dụ
There are a few big-gun professors (vị giáo sư có ảnh hưởng lớn) who believe that criticism (phê bình) is more important than creativity (sáng tạo). They'd cock an eye at me for stooping (gập người) to recover (phục hồi) Chidley. Let's be going! I've been looking forward to this meeting ever since I read his novel.

For a finale (chung kết), we all burst onto the stage arm in arm, belting out "Side by Side." As our onstage rapport (mối quan hệ trên sân khấu) blossomed, so did our partner. Somebody would cock an eye at Margaret, who'd drifted over to flirt (tán tỉnh) with the band, and crack, “Look at her! This is how she gets a date!”

Commuters (người đi lại bằng phương tiện công cộng) cock an eye at MBTA’s Commuter Rail plan. Angela Johnson, 38, of West Roxbury: “They’ve already spent millions and raised fares (tăng giá vé), and I haven’t seen any improvements (cải thiện) with the service. I’m just not hopeful at all anymore with it. How much more are they going to increase prices for this? How much more?”
