臉上的那一點
最貼近核心畫面的一組:一個小點長在或放在皮膚上,而且被當成好看的。
noun · B2
A small dark mark on someone's skin, usually on the face — a mole or a freckle — called this when the speaker thinks it adds to how the person looks.
美人痣
A spot is one small point marked off from everything around it — a dark point on skin, or a single place on a map. Put 'beauty' in front and the point is not just marked, it is : this is the bit worth looking at. Everything on this page is that same small point, on a face or on the land.
Wiktionary records the word as simply beauty (noun) + spot (noun), and notes that some uses of the older, wider sense ('a thing which is beautiful') are figurative uses of the face-patch sense.
Wiktionary 記的組成很直接:beauty(美)+ spot(點)。它同時提到,比較舊的那個廣義用法(「美的事物」),有些是從「臉上貼的妝點」那個意思比喻來的。所以這個字從一開始就在「點」這個畫面上。

地圖上的那一點
同一個「被看重的小點」畫面,換到郊外的地圖上:這一塊地方值得專程去看。這是畫面上的連結,不是說它從臉上那個意思演變而來。
