Have a soft spot for 情有独钟
    2019-03-04  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

A: I thought Ms. Sullivan would have reported the incident to the headmaster and Daniel’s parents would be called upon to deal with it.

B: Despite how troublesome he could be, the teacher always has a soft spot for Daniel. Lucky for him!

Note: This informal saying has been around since the mid-1800s. Used both in British and American English, it means “to like someone or something a lot, even if they don’t deserve the strong affection.” Apart from conveying emotions of affection, “soft spot” is also used to denote weak points that can be exploited. For example: She had a soft spot for her youngest brother and was always fighting for him, even if it was his fault.
