Part II ? Sentences
1. Soon the gossip of Scaithe's Ebb had the gist and juice of it all.
這里gist的意思是“the main or general meaning of a piece of a conversation”, juice讓我聯(lián)想到"juice something up"這個表達，這里作者用這兩個簡單的詞來描繪這里的流言蜚語，特別傳神。
2. His stomach rumbled as he walked. He was painfully aware how hungry he was; soon Tristran began to think of himself as nothing more than hunger, thinly surrounded by flesh, and , as fast as he could, walking, walking...
這段話簡直把饑腸轆轆的Tristran描述得活靈活現(xiàn)。第一個句子里his stomach rumbled在錢文里也出現(xiàn)了好幾次，記下了。后面一句里說他感到自己整個人被饑餓充斥，讓我想起了《呼吸秋千》里描寫德國人在蘇聯(lián)勞動營里忍饑挨餓的場景，不過后者讓人倍感壓抑和絕望。最后的walking,wakling...也很棒，讀到這里，我腦海中立刻浮現(xiàn)了他拖著步子行尸走肉一般努力趕路的場景。

Part IV
我現(xiàn)在每天讀這本書的時候，一邊讀就一邊感嘆，作者的寫作功力實在令人嘆服，除了我今天提到的這兩個句子，我還勾畫了好多生動的描寫，這些一定要趕緊記下來，不然估計很快就會忘記。
這一個部分里作者真是把Tristran的單純可愛表現(xiàn)到了極致，估計接下來星星女會落入witch-queen之手，然后可能就是一番英雄救美的故事啦，已經(jīng)等不及繼續(xù)看了~
