梦千寻他静静地有教养地吃了两份烩菜，两次告诉她有多好吃。西瓜甜美无比。啤酒很凉。夜色是蓝的。弗朗西斯卡·约翰逊四十五岁，汉克·斯诺在依阿华州谢南多阿的KMA电台唱着一支火车歌曲。
He ate two helpings of the stew with quiet good manners and told her twice how fine it was. The watermelon was perfect. The beer was cold. The evening was blue. Francesca Johnson was forty-five years old, and Hank Snow sang a train song on KMA, Shenandoah, Iowa.
——罗伯特·詹姆斯·沃勒 《廊桥遗梦》
精彩点评：
一颗潮汕牛肉丸：是Quite吧？不是quiet
陈香若_：您好！原版书上是quiet，刚刚又查了些资料也是。这里应该就是形容词的复合修饰吧，体现安静有礼的举动，但没有带连字符
