Ana Mateo: 鸟瞰视角是一种从上方观察的方式，就像鸟在飞行中看到的那样。当我开始一个项目时，我喜欢先获得一个鸟瞰视角，我会问自己几个重要的问题，比如总体目标是什么？主要的焦点是什么？我有什么资源可以使用？这些大局问题可以帮助我理解项目的范围。鹰眼是一种形容词，形容一个人能看到远处的物体，并能注意到别人可能忽略的细节。鹰眼和鹰眼的人都是观察力敏锐或有洞察力的人。他们甚至可以感知到别人不清楚的事情。一个人不一定一直都有这种能力，他们可能只在某些时候使用他们敏锐的视力和观察力，尤其是在他们需要密切关注的时候。例如，在圣诞节期间，鹰眼的孩子可能会在天空中寻找圣诞老人。这些孩子在一年中的其他时间可能不是很细心，但在圣诞节期间，他们正在寻找礼物。我希望通过我的解释，大家可以理解鸟瞰视角和鹰眼在英语中的用法。
