8 ear to the ground
«Ухо к земле». To keep one's ear to the ground — это значит «приложить ухо к земле», т. е. быть в курсе всех дел, быть хорошо информированным, быть начеку. Можно предположить, что эта фраза относится к способности индейского разведчика на Диком Западе в Америке определять приближение точного количества всадников, приложив ухо к земле. Эта фраза может также относиться к ложному представлению о птице, охотящейся на насекомых, которая, прислушиваясь, наклоняет голову то в одну, то в другую сторону. (На самом деле птица вертит головой, т. к. она способна видеть только одним глазом.)I don't know of any jobs in my firm at the moment, but I'll keep my ear to the ground and let you know. — В настоящее время мне не известно ни о каких вакансиях в нашей фирме, но я постараюсь держаться в курсе событий и дам вам знать.
