SOFT spot

释义

A 'soft spot' is a special feeling of affection or liking for someone or something, or a place of weakness or vulnerability.

用法与细微差别

Informal. Often used for people or things we feel fondness for: 'I have a soft spot for cats.' It can also refer to actual weakness (physical or emotional). Not the same as just 'weakness.' In babies, 'soft spot' can mean the soft area on a baby's head.
