Eye与eyes有时不仅是单复数的区别，含义也不一样。一般来说，
eye指由眼睛所衍生出来的视觉、勇气、自然、不愧、诚恳、关注、
喜爱等，而eyes则强调本义，即眼睛。
1. I looked him in the eye and said, "I'm not going to put
up with your bullshit anymore!" 指勇敢，此时用复数虽不违反语法，
但不合习惯。
2. Can you keep your eye on my bag? 指照看，此时用复
数则违反常理。
3. A sudden movement caught my eye. 指注意力，此时用
复数不合习惯。
4. This blonde was giving me the eye. 指秋波，此时用复数
违反常理。
5. Applicants should have an eye for detail. 指判断力，此
时用复数不合习惯。
6. I’ve got my eye on you—any nonsense and you’re
for it! etc. 指监督，此时用复数不合常理。
7. One can see it with the naked eye. 指裸眼的方式，语气
比较正式，此时用复数不符合语体风格。
8. You can see it with your naked eyes. 用其本义，语气比
较随意，暗示不用显微镜或望远镜而直接看，此时用单数比较僵硬。
9. I gazed into his eyes during a romantic dinner. 用其本
义，此时用单数不合常理。
10. I looked into his eyes and saw fear. 用其本义，此时用单数
要调整语序。
11. How long can you look at my eyes while we are talking?
用其本义。
12. All eyes are on but Robert
Lewandowski is the striker who can settle this tie! 用其本义，但有
借代的修辞意味。
这种区别来自于长期自然形成的习惯。类似情况也适用于hand、
ear等，如can you give me a hand?
