glow-worm and firefly
我第一次知道這不是一種蟲艇拍。
glow-worm
fireflies
Fine feathers do not make fine birds, sometimes they can add a certain spice to a recipe.
Tristran Thorn in crimson and canary was not the same man that Tristran Thorn in his overcoat and Sunday suit had been. There was a swagger to his steps, a jauntiness to his movements, that had not been there before. His chin went up insterad of down, and there was glint in his eye that he had not possessed when he had worn a bowler hat.
看這段話感受頗為強烈州叠。1.前面的類比此處得到了仔細的說明，雖然一身好羽毛不能造就fine birds，但是它可以是點睛之筆炫七，就像姑娘們一身裝束可能都中規(guī)中矩宫静，但一些單品，比如一條絲巾或者一枚戒指就negative讓人眼前一亮柿究。Tristran換了身衣服邮旷，就像變了一個人。2.作者兩次用了Tristran的全名蝇摸，Tristran Thorn婶肩，“搞事情”的前奏響起，后面會有大動作貌夕，果然他就點燃蠟燭見到了star律歼。3. Tristran的變化到底體現在哪里呢？走路帶風（swagger: a way of walking, talking, or behaving that shows you are very confident,之前都是說there was a spring in his steps）啡专，jauntiness也是類似的含義险毁。4. Tristran在赤裸著身體被嘲笑時，憤怒地把自己僅剩的帽子丟了出去们童，這段話的以帽子結束畔况，前后呼應。很多時候慧库，我只能感嘆作者寫的好跷跪，這次至少能分析出來，為什么此處好了齐板。
wax and wane
...while the moon waxed and waned above him a half a doxen times, crossing treacherous mountains and burning desserts, before he reached the place where the star has fallen.
moon wax月圓吵瞻； moon wane 月缺。wax 本身是increase的意思甘磨，wane是指decrease橡羞。 wax and wane: to grow stronger and then weaker again.
duck out of
This time, as another clod of earth came hurtling toward him, he ducked out of the way, and it smashed into an elm tree behind him.
duck out of: to avoid doing something that you have to do or have promised to do.
e.g. I used to duck out of Talia's lessons last term for it was really boring.
... comprehension dawning.
If a feeling or idea dawns, you have it for the first time. 這里Tristran終于意識到受傷倒地的姑娘就是他心心念念尋找的fallen star，有了醍醐灌頂的感受济舆，所以是comprehension dawning卿泽，現在分詞做前面said Tristran的伴隨狀語。還有一個常見的詞組是dawn on somebody吗冤，也是類似的意思又厉。這句話可以改寫為comprehension dawning on him.
Summary
Brevis's mother asked him to bring the billy goat to the market and sell it, and then get some necessities back. On his way to the market, Brevis met an odd tall woman who was in fact the witch. The witch-woman turned Brevis into a goat and made both Brevis and the billy goat drag her cart to go after the fallen star.
Tristran wore the new fine clothes that the little hairy man gave him and completely changed from inside. He become more flexible, more energetic, and more self-confident. The little figure also handed him a candle-stub and told him that he could get "there" by candlelight, there and back again. Tristran bade him farewell and lit the candle-stub, and then he found the fallen star who was wounded girl and broke her leg.
The silver chain which the little man gave Tristran chained both of them tightly. At night, human Tristran went to sleep while the fallen star was supposed to shine.
My Words
直至今天九府，少年和星星這兩個真正的主角才相遇。但有的并不是“金風玉露一相逢覆致，便勝卻人間無數”侄旬，只有不和諧沒有CP感。少年的心里仍然是Victoria煌妈，而星星在不停地咒罵這個要綁走他的陌生人儡羔，連他們的作息時間都是不一樣的，找到星星的Tristran又困又累璧诵，只想倒頭大睡汰蜘。但夜間的星星，shines之宿。燭臺用光了族操，六個月的路程兩個人要怎樣“攜手”走過呢？silver chain (月老)似乎已經把他們拴在了一起比被，但我們還要等Tristran醒悟色难，他們還要一路打怪升級，戰(zhàn)勝壞女巫等缀，壞王子枷莉，才能收獲真正的幸福。
看這種“純愛”的故事，我會覺得好與壞都很純粹。最喜歡寫論文寫累了的時候聽一聽audiobook碧库，看一看美好的故事。雖然知道最后一定是happy ending捺弦，但還是充滿期待的一點點看下去。
