笔记Chapter2-1
“Few of us now have seen the stars as folk saw them then— our cities and towns cast too much light into the night—but, from the village of Wall, the stars were laid out like worlds or like ideas, uncountable as the trees in a forest or the leaves on a tree. Tristan would stare into the darkness of the sky until he thought of nothing at all, and then he would go back to his bed, and sleep like a dead man.
小时候放暑假的时候，常常躺在在奶奶的屋顶上看星星，星星很近，仿佛抬手就能摘到星星，有时候看着看着就在屋顶睡着了。现在偶尔也能看到银河，繁星，但从来没有像小时候离我那么近。
现在的小孩子对星星还有那么多幻想吗？
导读
几年过去了，又一届精灵市集如期举办，8岁的Tristan被送到远房的亲戚家错过了市集。小T的妹妹Louisa比他小六个月，却从市集带回了一个可以发光的破璃球。小T的妈妈从来不跟他说话，Lousia常常刺小T。小T上了镇里的小学，学文化。日子就这样一天天过去，小T已经17岁了。
他爱上了镇子上的美丽姑娘Victoria Forester，在一个寒冷的晚上，在星光下，害羞的小T终于他终于勇敢地向她心爱的姑娘表白。无论小T说什么样的，Victoria都不为所动。小T见一颗流星划过，落向东方，竞然大胆地说：“为了你的吻和誓言我愿意为你带回那颗流星！”

摘抄
今天不写summary了，摘几段美好的文字吧，沉浸在美好的文字中
1. Five girls sat beside, and upon the branches of, the oldest apple tree in the orchard, its huge trunk making a fine seat and support; and whenever the May breeze blew, the pink blossoms tumbled down like snow, coming to rest in their hair and on their skirts. The afternoon sunlight dappled green and silver and gold through the leaves in the apple orchard.
2.
3. There is nothing I would not do for your kiss, no mountain I would not scale, no river I would not ford, no desert I would not cross.
