"the apple of one’s eye “Interesting Talks

"\"The apple of one’s eye.\" In English, the pupil is usually referred to as \"pupil\", but \"the apple of one’s eye\" can also be used to express this idea. For example, in the Bible it says: \"The apple of one’s eye\" (Please protect me, just as one protects the pupil of their eye.) It is because of this allusion that, starting around the 9th century, the phrase “the apple of one’s eye” began to be widely used, meaning “a treasure held dear”. Please look at the example sentence: Meg is the apple of her father's eye. Meg is her father’s favorite child.
Whose little treasure is Jasscy? How should this sentence be translated using \"the apple of one's eye\"? Whose apple of the eye is Jasscy? It reads like that……
Jesscy is the apple of her father’s eye. {:1_90:} I wanted to change that sentence to one that suited me before reposting it, (*^__^*) hehe…… You understand me best! But either in an English-speaking environment or in our Chinese language, people don’t ask questions in that way. Children are of course the apple of their parents’ eyes; those who are not closely related would never say such a thing. O(∩_∩)O Haha~
I thought so too; I figured it meant something similar to favoring. . . At first, I didn’t know when looking at the pupils. . .
Whose eye is jasscy? Can it be changed to: Whose eye the apple of is jasscy?
