一说到“sore eyes”，有人可能又会想到另一个俚语“a sight for sore eyes”，“sight”是“视野、视线”的意思，那这个俚语的意思是指疼痛的眼睛的视野吗？
肯定不是啦，这句俚语的英文释义为：“a way of saying that you are very pleased to see someone or that you think someone is very attractive.”
中文理解为“乐于看到的人；极有吸引力的人”。
其实直接理解为眼睛疼还想看到的景象或者人或者物，是不是极其具有吸引力？因此见面打招呼时就可以用这一句特别口语化的寒暄语：You're a sight for sore eyes（见到你真好）.
与a sight for sore eyes相近的意思还可以这样表达：
You're just the man I want to see.
你正是我想见的人。
It's really great to see you.
见到你真是太好了。
I didn't expect to see you here.
我没想到会在这里看见你。
