A glimmer is a small, weak light that is not steady — the light of a candle far away, or light moving on water. As a verb, to glimmer is to shine like that. People also use it for a small amount of something good when things are mostly bad: 'a glimmer of hope' means a little hope, not much, but real.
微光、閃爍;一絲(希望)
組成Related to 'gleam'; the -er ending here suggests something happening again and again, a light that keeps flickering.
