dear twinkle,
young friend, 1. archaic: prosperity in an
undertaking. 2. the act or state of moving
swiftly. 4. the sensitivity of a photographic
film etc. 6. someone or something that appeals
to one's taste. <<webster's new collegiate dic-
tionary>> p 1133.
cf. she had enormous admiration for the
speed of his mind.(她非常钦佩他思想敏捷。)
<<english-chinese dictionary(unabridged)>>p 3323.
