I was like a deer caught in headlights!
我当时都愣住了！
Well, that's understandable. But maybe next time you won't have that "deer in the headlights" look!

If a deer is on the road at night and a car is coming, it stands still, doing nothing,
如果某个夜晚，鹿在路上走着的时候正逢一辆车行驶过来，它会站在原地不动，
until its eyes can adjust to the bright lights.
直到它的眼睛适应了车前灯强烈的光。
This, unfortunately, puts the deer in danger.
这种情况会很不幸地将鹿至于危险当中。
If someone says you look like a "deer in the headlights"
如果某个人用这个短语来形容你，
it means you look frozen with surprise，shock, or maybe even fear.
