Answer

it means, someone really focus on something that just ignore other stuff
came from a ture story, that someone( might be kongzi, not sure, forget already, haha), was just focus on his job, and when he finished his job, others served him a meat dish, and he said, he felt like did not eat meat for three months, but actually he ate.Just did not realize that.

Answer
