She has an eye for beauty. (审美眼光)
She has an ear for music.(对音乐有鉴赏力)
The boy has a sharp eye.(敏锐的眼光)
The big poster caught my eye.(引起某人注意)
Keep an eye on that mischievous boy.(留意,照看)

To turn a deaf ear to sth. (对…充耳不闻)
Glare: strong, fierce, unpleasant light, not so agreeable and welcome a “bright sunlight”刺眼的光
太阳光很刺眼,我得戴上墨镜。
I have to wear sunglasses because of the glare of the sun.
Cavern:a cave, especially a large cave. Here, it is a long, narrow, dark street of workshops and shops with some sort of roof over them.
In our text it means the bazaar looks like a cavern because it is a long, narrow, and dark street of workshops and shops with some sort of a roof over it. Here the author employed a metaphor (隐喻,暗喻)to achieve vividness.

The place is dark, so when the street is long, objects in the distance become unclear and indistinct (faint, dim).
The word shadowy suggests shifting illumination and indistinct vision.
Disappearing in the faint distance; beyond one’s eyesight.
