最早见于19世纪，指的就是“两眼冒金星”，常用来形容头部受击后的视觉感受 。
例如：
A swinging door hit me and I really saw stars.
一扇旋转门撞得我两眼冒金星。
When I was hit on my head by a ball, I saw stars.
当球击中我的头时，我的眼睛直冒金星。
My mother's head hit the desk. It made her see stars.
我妈**头撞在了桌子上，这使她眼冒金星。
The collision made him see stars.
这一撞撞得他两眼直冒金星。
此外，还有一个与“star”相关的短语 “to have stars in one's eyes”，常用来指“（因爱情、天真、过分乐观而产生的）幸福感”。
例如：
Mary has/gets stars in her eyes when she thinks of her boy friend.
玛丽想到她的男朋友就乐滋滋的。
另一个动词gaze和star连用，意思又不一样，star gazer指“想入非非”，“白日做梦”的人，或用以形容一个人“心不在焉”的样子。
