Wear your heart on your sleeve

    感情外露     

    A: Will you wear your heart on your sleeve or hide your feelings when you fall in love with someone?

    B: Are you implying that you have fallen for some girl? Why not just tell her and see if she likes you too?

    A: Well, I think I kind of like you a lot.

    Note: This idiom means to "display one's emotions openly." This phrase may have derived from the custom at the middle ages jousting matches. Knights wore the colors of the lady they were supporting, in cloths or ribbons tied to their arms. The term doesn't date from that period though and was first recorded in Shakespeare's "Othello," 1604. In the play, the treacherous Iago says: But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve/For daws to peck at: I am not what I am.
