小常识
Although this phrase is used to describe being at the centre of a problem or dispute, the real 'eye' of a storm is very calm. The eye - a circular area in the middle of a hurricane, which can be up to 65km in diameter - is characterised by light winds and clear skies, which last for a short period before the strong winds, rain and thunder return.
虽然这个短语往往用于形容某人正处于问题或争论的中心，真正的“暴风之眼”其实非常宁静。飓风的中心被称为 the eye，直径可达65公里，其特点是伴有微风和晴朗的天空，不过在这短暂的宁静过后，强大的风和雷雨会再次袭来。
