Be all ears

洗耳恭听

Be all ears字面解释是“所有的耳朵”，那是什么意思呢？请看对话：

A: I broke up with my girlfriend.

B: The stock price slashed today.

A: Hey, are you listening to me?

B: Sorry, I didn’t catch you just now.

A: Do you want to know why I broke up with my girlfriend?

B: Yeah, I’m all ears. Tell me.

For example:

1. The employees were all ears while the boss was talking about who was going to get fired.

2. A detective must be all eyes and all ears.

记住了吗？ Be all ears就是洗耳恭听的意思。
