phrase:  to see stars

    最早见于19世纪，指的就是“两眼冒金星”，常用来形容头部受击后的视觉感受 。

    例如：

    A swinging door hit me and I really saw stars. 

    一扇旋转门撞得我两眼冒金星。

    When I was hit on my head by a ball, I saw stars.

    当球击中我的头时，我的眼睛直冒金星。

    My mother's head hit the desk. It made her see stars.

    我妈妈的头撞在了桌子上，这使她眼冒金星。

    The collision made him see stars.

    这一撞撞得他两眼直冒金星。

    此外，还有一个与“star”相关的短语 “to have stars in one's eyes”，常用来指“（因爱情、天真、过分乐观而产生的）幸福感”。

    例如：

    Mary has/gets stars in her eyes when she thinks of her boy friend.

    玛丽想到她的男朋友就乐滋滋的。

    另一个动词gaze和star连用，意思又不一样，star gazer指“想入非非”，“白日做梦”的人，或用以形容一个人“心不在焉”的样子。
