靶子正中間那一圈
這一支就是核心畫面本身：那個位置。
noun · B2
The small circle at the exact centre of a target, which is the hardest part to hit and is worth the most points in shooting, archery and darts.
靶心
核心畫面
Hold one picture and the word opens up: rings inside rings, with one small circle sitting dead centre — an eye looking back at you. Everything follows from that middle circle being both the smallest thing on the board and the most valuable. It is the hardest to hit, so hitting it is worth shouting about; and anything else built out of circles inside circles, from a striped sweet to a thick round of ship's glass, has borrowed the same look.

抓住一個畫面，整個字就通了：一圈套著一圈，正中間一個小圓，像一隻眼睛回望著你。後面所有用法都從「那個小圓在正中間」長出來。它最小，所以最難中；最難中，所以中了值得喊出來；而任何長得像圓中有圓的東西——條紋硬糖、船身上那片厚圓玻璃——都是借了同一個樣子。From the word’s history
The word is bull's plus eye. One account links it to English archers shooting an arrow through the eye socket of a bull's skull as a test of skill; the source itself only says it may have come from that, so treat it as a story that fits the picture rather than a settled fact.
這個字就是 bull's（公牛的）加 eye（眼睛）。有一種說法把它連到英國弓箭手的練習：把箭射穿公牛頭骨的眼窩，當成技術考驗。來源自己也只寫「可能」，所以把它當成一個很搭畫面的故事就好，不必當定論。
Wiktionary entry supplied in this packet (kaikki:3f6f69a190036ae4:1241729521): From bull's + eye. May have come from the practice of English archers shooting an arrow through the eye socket of a bull's skull as a test of skill.

打中它的那一下
畫面從「位置」滑到「事件」：講的不再是那一圈在哪裡，而是有人正好打進去的那一瞬間，以及當場的反應。
noun · B2
A shot, arrow or dart that lands in the exact centre of the target, and the score you get for it.
正中靶心的一擊
長得像靶心的圓東西
這一支跟射擊完全無關，只借了樣子：圓中有圓，中間一點，看起來就是一個小靶。
noun · B2
In British English, a large, hard, round sweet, usually striped black and white and tasting of peppermint, which you suck rather than chew.
（英）大顆硬糖
