Alan: Wow! Your T-shirt is an eye-catcher, Jade. I like it! Jade: Huh? I don't play baseball. And how can my clothes catch your eyes? Alan: Don't get me wrong. Eye-catcher usually means 〝something so attractive that catches people's attention.〞 Jade: Thanks! I like your outfit too! 黑轮︰ 哇!爱玉,妳的T恤好抢眼。我喜欢! ( 注:catcher 字面上的意思为「捕手」。) 爱玉︰ 咦?我又不打棒球。而且我的衣服哪能够抓住你的眼睛呀? 黑轮︰妳搞错了啦。eye-catcher 通常指的是「引人注目的东西」。 爱玉︰谢啦!我也喜欢你的穿著呢!
