翘首星空 look up at the stary sky; 翘首以待 raise one's head and look forward to; 翘首瞻仰 look up at sth. with reverence
翘首而望 lift up one's head in expectation [hope]; be on the tiptoe of expectation; raise one's head and look; raise the head and stand on tiptoe expecting
翘首企足 crane one's neck and stand on tiptoe in pleasurable expectation; eagerly look forward to; raise one's head and stand on tiptoe expecting
这正是他数月来翘首企盼的 he knew this was what he had wanted to do for months, to knock at the door, embrace his mother and his sisters, walk aross the floors of the house, sit in the old chairs, sleep in his bed, talk with his old man, eat at the table; still, he couldn't go away from the house. from the corner he could see it, and he knew that he wanted to go in and be among his people, a part of their lives
No season is awaited so eagerly or welcomed so warmly as spring … each year i am astonished by the wealth of flowers the season gives us : the subtlety of the wild primroses and violets , the rich palette of crocus in the parks , tall soldier tulips and proud trumpeting daffodils and narcissi 没有哪个季节像春天那么让人翘首企盼… …每年春花的烂漫总让我惊讶不已:野生报春花和紫罗兰的娇嫩,公园里藏红花的多彩,还有高大的郁金香和傲然的水仙花。
I lingered at the gates ; i lingered on the lawn ; i paced backwards and forwards on the pavement ; the shutters of the glass door were closed ; i could not see into the interior ; and both my eyes and spirit seemed drawn from the gloomy house - from the grey hollow filled with rayless cells , as it appeared to me - to that sky expanded before me , - a blue sea absolved from taint of cloud ; the moon ascending it in solemn march ; her orb seeming to look up as she left the hill - tops , from behind which she had come , far and farther below her , and aspired to the zenith , midnight dark in its fathomless depth and measureless distance ; and for those trembling stars that followed her course ; they made my heart tremble , my veins glow when i viewed them 我的目光与心灵似乎已从那幢阴暗的房子,从在我看来是满布暗室的灰色洞穴中,退缩出来,到达了展现在我面前的天空一片云影全无的蓝色海洋。月亮庄严地大步迈向天空,离开原先躲藏的山顶背后,将山峦远远地抛在下面,仿佛还在翘首仰望,一心要到达黑如子夜深远莫测的天顶。那些闪烁着的繁星尾随其后,我望着它们不觉心儿打颤,热血沸腾。
