拜读了，也学到了很多东西，谢谢！嗬嗬嗬，也来凑凑热闹...^_^

自娱自乐

FRIGHTEN是嚇人的意思。這裡的“驚”是DISTURB之意。沒有要去嚇人的
意思。如用STARTLE尚可。
well, i tend to agree with it, but one man's meat is another man's posion. hahaha
i like to do whatever i like, got it?:Z

自娱自乐

第二例﹕
PICK前語氣上要有個CAN什麼的詞。HEAVENLY是形容詞﹐不是副詞。
在這首詩裡﹐用HEAVEN是較貼切。

well, if it is so, why didn't you use it? :Z hahaha

自娱自乐

listen up, 'loud voice or talk' does frighten people, right? hahaha:Z

自娱自乐

by the way, could you please explain why 'in sky' rather than the usual way 'in the sky'?

any differences?

look forward to your reply:Z

Foot (length)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A foot (plural: feet or foot;[1] symbol or abbreviation: ft or, sometimes, ′ – the prime symbol) is a non-SI unit of length, in a number of different systems, including English units, Imperial units, and United States customary units. Its size can vary from system to system, but in each is around a quarter to a third of a metre. The most commonly used foot today is the international foot. There are three feet in a yard and 12 inches in a foot.

Could you please tell me how tall or high your "a hundred feet' is?:Z

firefly

问题太多了，先回15楼

heavenly这里是形容词作前置定语修饰people的 只是为了凑韵才倒装到句尾了 这样处理没问题吧

firefly

之所以用heaven 是因为它可指有人（神）的天上之所 而sky偏向于纯自然的天空

firefly

高百尺  
我的理解是百尺是泛指 不必严格按度量衡转换为feet 所以100 feet也未尝不可
当然high tall也行
