英语说－－肚子饱了，眼睛还没饱／嘴巴还没饱

很多年前，曾在国内报纸‘参考消息’上看到一则针对女性健康的报道，美科学家建议女性过了25岁后，能少吃一口就少吃一口。

我多么后悔没有严格遵循这个‘真理’，现在站在厨房，不仔细看会被误为一台上下门的冰箱，上街影响市容。怪只怪自己：

My eyes are bigger than my stomach.

但我喜欢跟老美说：My tummy is full, but my eyes are still hungry.

Eyes are bigger than your stomach 原意是：

A person seeing a table piled high with sumptuous food has a tendency to get too many and/or too large a portion. Since the problem is brought on by the eyes and a lack of reason, the person is portrayed a one whose eyes are bigger than their stomach.

This statement can indicate that a person is immature or greedy. One who is not in control of wants, feelings, or emotions. One who does not consider the needs or feelings of those around them.

Example:

Be careful not to pile the food up too high on your plate. I think your eyes are bigger than your stomach and you'll have to throw much of it away.
