I think we have explained the nose expressions. What about ears? Well, I hope you are all ears or very interested in hearing more expressions. We might even put a
bug in your ear or give you an idea about something. We also advise you to keep your ear to the ground. This means to be interested in what is happening around you
and what people are thinking.我想，我们已经讲了很多关于鼻子的短语。
那么耳朵呢。我希望你们全神贯注地倾听(all ears)更多的短语。我们可能甚至针对某事为你提出建议(put a bug in your ear)。
我们还建议你
注意各方面的动向(keep your ear to the ground)。意思是说要对发生在你周围的事情和人们的所思所想感兴趣。
If you are a good person, you will lend an ear to your friends. You will listen to them when they have a problem they need to talk about. Our last expression is to

to decide what to do at the last minute instead of making detailed plans.如果你是一个好人，你会倾听朋友的话(lend an ear to your friends)。如果他们遇到需要找人谈一下的问题时，你应该倾听他的诉说。我们的最后一个短语是play it by ear。这个短语
