To glisten is to shine in a wet or way. A road after rain glistens. Sweat on skin glistens. Eyes glisten when someone is close to tears, because they look wet. It is a soft shine, as if a thin layer of water or oil is catching the light — not the hard sparkle of a dry diamond or of (that is closer to glitter). Writers like the word for skin, leaves, wet streets, and tears. In plain talk people often just say shine or look wet; glisten is a little prettier and more exact.
發亮（帶著水氣或油光的那種閃）
組成From Middle English glisnen, glistnen, from Old English glisnian, from Proto-West Germanic *glisnōn, from Proto-Germanic *glisnōną. The old meaning is already 'to shine.'
