睁一只眼闭一支眼


Desmond

Recommended Posts

This is a tile of a song from 蔡依林 entitled "睁一只眼闭一支眼"

Seems easy enough, "open one eye, close one eye" except that they use the measure word 只 for the one eye and 支 for the closed eye (both pronounced zhi1). So is there a special meaning for it? Or a poetic one?

Thanks!
