焦点

The Chinese word 焦点 (jiāodiǎn) is composed of two characters: 焦 (jiāo) and 点 (diǎn). 焦 originally meant "to burn" or "to be anxious", but in modern Chinese, it is often used in the sense of "focus" or "focal point". 点 originally meant "a dot" or "a point", but it can also be used in the sense of "a focus" or "a focal point". The combination of these two characters creates the word 焦点, which literally means "burning point" or "focal point". This term is often used in the context of optics, where it refers to the point at which light rays converge after passing through a lens or mirror. In a broader sense, 焦点 can also be used to refer to the center of attention or the most important point of something. For example, a person who is the center of attention in a group of people can be referred to as the 焦点人物 (jiāodiǎn rénwù), or "focal point person".
