喜樂美語

A big white bird with a very long neck, across a lake so smoothly that it looks like no effort at all. Under the water the feet are hard, but all you see on the surface is , easy forward movement — you can hold that picture of as what the word carries.

可以想成一隻脖子很長的大白鳥，在湖面上滑過去，滑得平順到好像完全沒在使力；水面下的腳掌其實划得很勤，但你看到的只有牠不慌不忙、輕輕往前的樣子。這個「表面上毫不費力地飄過去」的畫面，大概就是這個字最好抓的地方。
