Hit The Nail On The Head: 说得中肯，一针见血；解释正确
And when someone says your words or actions hit the nail on the head, he means what you said or did was exactly right. (VOA: special.2009.09.20)
当有人说你的话或行为是"hit the nail on the head"时，他是指你所说的或做的事情“一针见血”。
This analogy is a wonderfully straightforward one; missing the nail when hammering is imprecise and can cause damage to the surface beneath the hammer. Hitting the nail on the head leads to the desired results.
这个类比十分直白。当锤击钉子时若是不精确，就要砸到铁锤下方的地表。但如果砸在钉头上就会如愿将钉子砸进去。
