“You're a star”的意思不是“你是明星”,“see stars”也不是“看星星”
剑桥英语词典里对“You're a star”是这样解释的:something you say to someone when they have been nice and helpful to you当你对他人伸出援助之手时对方说的话,其实是在夸你:你真是个大好人。
此时意思等同于:It's very nice of you.相当于我们常说的:你真是我的大救星。
Thank you so much for giving me a hand. You're a star!
非常感谢你帮了我的忙。你人太好了!
I really appreciate what you did for me. You're a star! Thanks a million.
我真的很感激你为我所做的一切。你真是个大好人! 万分感谢。
其中,大明星的英文表达里,以big star和superstar应用最广泛。
superstar 巨星、超级明星
big star 大明星
international superstar 国际巨星
例句:
He is a famous star here in China.

Because she is such a big star, how can I not know of her?
因为她是一个巨星,我怎么可能不认识呢?
A superstar of the musical circles passed away.
音乐界的一颗巨星陨落了。
此外,star还有"星星"的意思,那如果你听到:Have stars in your eyes.,你会理解成:你眼里有星星吗?have stars in your eyes=两眼放光(因激动,兴奋,充满希望)
例句:
You have stars in your eyes whenever your boyfriend chats[tʃæt] with you.
每次和你男朋友聊天,你都是两眼放光(充满幸福感~)。

如果是类似赏月的看还可以说appreciate the stars,可不要用see stars,免得引起误解。
