基础英语口语：“竖起耳朵听”英语怎么表达？
To listen是“听”。“竖起耳朵听”呢？
1. He cocked his head/his ear to listen.
他竖起耳朵听。
Cock是个简单词汇，这里做动词，表示to tilt, to turn up to one side的意思(侧耳，侧头)。
英语口语：
When you cock your head or your ear, you tilt your
ear/heard ,or you turn up yourear/head to one side.
所以，“竖起耳朵听”也可以说“侧耳倾听”：
2. I tilted my head/ear to listen=I turned up my head/ear to listen.
3. My little dog cocks/tilts his ear to listen when we are talking.
我们家小狗狗在我说话时竖起耳朵听我们。
3. all ears (to somebody) 洗耳恭听
I am all ears to you= I am listening to you carefully.
