1. stale beer 陳啤酒

eg In a fogged atmosphere of stale beer and tobacco smoke the girl appeared, a breath of ancient Greece.

在劇場那煙霧繚繞、酒氣熏天、渾濁不堪的氛圍中，小姑娘登場了，帶著一絲古希臘的氣息。

2. read thought 看懂想法

eg Some can read the thought forms and patterns underlying any circumstance they find themselves in and have developed this type of perception.

有些人則可以讀懂自己在任何情況下所潛藏的思想形態和模式，并發展了這種覺察方式。

3. break the silence 打破沉默

eg The quiet summation was so impressive, so profoundly confident, yet in no way boastful that neither visitor seemed inclined to break the silence that followed.

平靜的歸納動人心弦、信心十足，然而又毫無自吹自擂的意味，兩位來訪者聽過之后都無意打破隨之而來的沉寂。
