- 1色瞇瞇地看、用色眼打量(帶貶義;不是中性的「看」)
To ogle someone is to look at them in a hungry, sexual way — staring at a body, not meeting a person. English uses it with a : it is not a compliment in decent company. Magazines ogle celebrities; a stranger on a train who ogles someone is being rude. It is informal, a little old-fashioned (younger speakers might say stare, check out, or something blunter), and almost always . You can ogle a thing too, half-jokingly — ogle a cake in a shop window — but the home meaning is people. There is also a noun, an ogle, for that look itself, though the verb is far more common. Glance, look, even stare can still be innocent. Ogle has already decided the motive. If you only mean “look at,” this is the wrong word.
組成17th century. Probably from Low German ögeln “to ogle, to flirt with one's eyes,” a repeated-action form of Middle Low German ö̂gen, from Old Saxon ōgian, from Proto-West Germanic *augijan “to show.” A matching Dutch *ogelen is sometimes suggested, but it does not seem to be attested (Dutch has the simpler ogen). By surface analysis, eye + -le, the little ending that can mean “do it again and again.”
