body piercings? gold shining in their ears, noses, on their fingers, toes... Explanation: glint = a flash of light, like that from a hard shiny surface (金属表面般的)闪光 eg I could see the glint of coins in her hand. 我能看见她手里的硬币在闪闪发光. appendage = something that is joined to something larger or more important 附加物;附属物 appendage (formal) = 1 something which exists as a smaller and less important part of something larger. eg The committee is a mere appendage of the council and has no power of its own. The organism has small leaf-like appendages. 2 an arm, a leg or other body part eg He had a tattoo on every visible appendage. appendage 1 anything appended; adjunct 2 (Biol) any secondary, external organ or part,as a tree branch, or a dog's tail -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 19 hrs 30 mins (2003-12-27 23:18:09 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- fingers, toes, ears, nose etc usually called \'extremities\' so here appendage could be loosely translated as \'all four limbs\'四肢上都有金色的东西在闪闪地发着光 ���Ľ��״ʵ� Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary, Collins Concise English Dictionary |
