2) ( на кого) with an eye to smb.; be careful to fall in with smb.'s wishesОн говорил резко и смело: утверждал, что во всех этих стихах много фальши, что в них нет души, настоящей, человеческой, и написаны они с оглядкой на редакторов, да и тем такие стихи в общем-то не нравятся, они печатают их также с оглядкой на тех, кто стоит над ними. (А. Чаковский, Свет далёкой звезды) — His criticism was bold and trenchant: he said that all the poems were contrived and specious, they lacked genuine feeling and were written with an eye to the editors who didn't really like the stuff either and published it only because they were careful to fall in with the wishes of those above them.
