the apple of my eye=my son?I'm afraid that's not very suitable
You are the apple of my eye.直译是‘你是我眼中的苹果’,真正意思其实是‘你是我最喜欢、最关心的人’。另一个说法是:You are the milk in my coffee.(你是我咖啡里的牛奶),咖啡加了牛奶更好喝,比喻你令我更美好。还可说:You are that special someone.(你是那个特别的人)/ You light up my life.(你点亮我的生命)。
we could say "You are the apple of my eye",but "the apple of my eye will do what what..."is that right?everyone?
