[暮光之城學單字] Saunter

-

想必很多人都看過暮光之城(twilight)這本有點科幻的愛情小說，大家也可以學習它許多用字的技巧唷。
例如，在前言裡(preface, p.1)有個比較不常看到的動詞:

saunter

(原文例句) He sauntered forward to kill me. (他緩緩走進要殺我。)

這裡的saunter 當不及物動詞，可當作 walk slowly (緩慢地走)之意。

如朗文字典裡的例句:
He came sauntering down the road with his hands in his pockets.

就是"手插進口袋，悠閒地走在路上"的一種感覺。

你學會了嗎? :)

Wearing a silver crown and glory costume, she looked like an elegant neighboring girl. I was drunk even I did not drink any wine at the party. After that, I practice playing the guitar and singing loudly every day, hoping that I could meet her again and play songs for her. Although my neighbors could not bear any sound I made and protest against my behavior, I never give up. Luckily, Jeff, my friend, told me that he knows the girl and he is willing to hold a fancy dress party for us next month. It sounds so wonderful for me that I must make more effort in playing the guitar and singing to win her heart someday . 你應該有更有創意的寫法唷!
