set one's sight on 打定主意
【講解】
sight的意思是指人的目光，在這兒喻指“眼光”。set one's sight on的字面直譯是“將眼光盯住……”，意即“立定目標(biāo)，打定主意”。例如：set one's sights on a medical career（立志從醫(yī)）。
【對話】

A:媽媽，老師問我當(dāng)我長大以后要做什么？
B:How did you answer her?

A:I said I'd set my sights on becoming a writer. And then the teacher told me to read more great books.
A:我說我打定主意要當(dāng)一名作家，然后老師告訴我說要多讀名著。
B:That's the best advice.
