拿哪一把尺量
把站的位置換成一把尺:站在「錢」這個點上看,事情一個樣;站在「安全」上看,又是另一個樣。

One angle you can judge a situation from. You name the angle — money, health, safety, the law — and then say how the situation looks when only that angle is counted.
角度
Picture yourself standing somewhere, looking at one thing. Move a few steps and the same thing shows you a different shape. That standing spot is what the words say: the point you view from. Everything this phrase does comes from moving that spot — you can move it to a measure (count only the money, only the safety), you can move it to another person (stand where she stands), or you can move it to a character inside a story (see only what he sees).
English took the phrase straight from French point de vue, which is literally 'point of seeing' — the spot you are seeing from.
本卷證據說這個說法是照著法文 point de vue 一字一字翻過來的。法文那個詞字面就是「看的那個點」。所以中文常翻「角度、觀點」,但它骨子裡講的是站的位置。

誰的眼睛在看
這一家把那個點放在人身上:位置屬於某個人,看到的東西就帶著那個人的經歷。
