Their design is an eye-sore to me.

他們的設(shè)計(jì)真讓人看不下去。

an eye-sore 字面意思是：“眼睛疼痛”，引申為令眼睛疼痛的事物，即刺眼的東西。所以這個短語的正確意思是：“讓人看不順眼的東西，看不下去的東西”。因此，當(dāng)美國人說"Their design is an eye-sore tome."時，他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"Their design sucks."、"Their design is terrible and I don't want to have a look at it."。

情景對白：

Alice: Sir, here is the design paper from the decoration company.

愛麗絲：老板，這是裝飾公司的設(shè)計(jì)圖紙。

Boss: Oh, my God! Their design is an eye-sore to me.

老板：天啊，他們的設(shè)計(jì)真讓人看不下去。

搭配句積累：

①I have never seen such a stupid design.

我還從來沒見過這么愚蠢的設(shè)計(jì)呢。

②Have you made them understand our requirements?

你傳達(dá)清楚我們的要求了嗎?

③Is this the design that they are proud of?

這就是他們引以為豪的設(shè)計(jì)嗎?

④I won't choose that design team.

我不會選擇那個設(shè)計(jì)團(tuán)隊(duì)的。
