喜樂美語
  1. 1

    To twinkle is to shine with a light that quickly gets brighter and dimmer in little flashes — this is exactly what stars do, which is why children sing 'twinkle, twinkle, little star'. The word is also used for a look in someone's eyes — 'a twinkle in her eye' means a look of amusement, mischief, or quiet happiness, often when someone is about to say or do something playful.

    閃爍；(眼神中)頑皮或喜悅的光芒
