| 词汇 | cry one-s eyes out |
| 词源 | cry one’s eyes out. To cry long and uncontrollably, as if one’s eyes would flood out of their sockets. Cervantes may have coined this expression, which is first recorded in Don Quixote (1604). There Sancho begs his master not to make him witness the Don’s acts of penance: “Good sir, as you love me, don’t let me stay to see you naked; ‘twill grieve me so to the heart that I shall cry my eyes out.” |
