(单词翻译:单击)

359. 他们的目光相遇了,两人从此坠入了爱河。


[误] Their eyesight met, and they fell in love with each other ever since.


[正] Their eyes met, and they fell in love with each other ever since.


:“目光”不能用 eyesight 表达,因为 eyesight 只能指“视力”,如:If you eat a lot of fish, you can have good eyesight(多吃鱼会使你的视力好)。而 eye 不仅表示“视力”,还可以指“眼光”。如:a good eye for distance(能看很远的好视力)和 She met his eye across the room(隔着房间,她与他的目光相遇了)。
