[誤] Their eyesight met, and they fell in love with each other ever since.

[正] Their eyes met, and they fell in love with each other ever since.

注：“目光”不能用 eyesight 表達，因爲 eyesight 只能指“視力”，如：If you eat a lot of fish, you can have good eyesight（多吃魚會使你的視力好）。而 eye 不僅表示“視力”，還可以指“眼光”。如：a good eye for distance（能看很遠的好視力）和 She met his eye across the room（隔着房間，她與他的目光相遇了）。
