问题: 英语问题

I know what you mean.I have been working on it for three hours already.I am beginning to go cross eyed.
请问:“go cross eyed"是什么意思? 这里的cross是副词形式吗?

解答:

cross eyed里的cross是副词,eyed是形容词.前面加了个副词.





Cross-eyed 对眼(斗鸡眼)


Being cross-eyed can be a physical problem,where someone’s eyes cannot look straight ahead. However,sometimes you can go cross-eyed on purpose.
Some people say that if you focus too hard, or stare at something for too long,you can go cross-eyed.
  “cross-eyed”直译为“交叉的目光”。通常我们在看东西时,目光会平行而视。但是你有没有尝试过把你的目光叠交于一点,十分钟后,是不是成对眼了!知道了吧,“cross-eyed”就是“对眼”的意思,俗语称“斗鸡眼”。不过这个短语一般当定语用,比如“a cross-eyed boy”就是“一个对眼的男孩”。那如果你问朋友会不会对眼,就可以说:“Can you cross your eyes?”。当然有些人对眼是天生的,这就是身体上的问题了。
