看过电影《音乐之声》的话,你一定知道“doe”是什么,“Doe, a deer, a female deer……”。
像doe的眼睛一样(形容词),是什么意思

1. Having wide-open, innocent-appearing eyes. 睁得大大、天真眼睛的。
*doe-eyed children gazing at the shelves of candy.
2. Credulous and unsophisticated; naive. 涉世未深的;天真的。
*"Many doe-eyed investors go bankrupt within a year, sometimes by expanding too fast, sometimes because of pure ignorance" (Scott Baldauf).
