像小孩子玩的穿线木偶 柔软的褐色头发稀零零地盖在头上 他的前额特别大 简直和面部不大相称 脸盘的轮廓也很古怪 因为所有的牙齿全部落掉了 眼睛里面闪耀着智慧的光辉 又敏锐 又细致 你几乎觉得他有魔法 莫 盖斯凯尔夫人 玛丽 巴顿 写其身体之老远 越着力写其老 后一句写精神越突出 是反衬之法 其中一女教练 烫了个方便面头 浑身的活力 她的课上总是人满为患 近日来 桑拿天 教练干脆用皮圈儿扎了俩小辫儿 上边儿一个 下边儿一个 卡子把刘海全卡到脑后 轮圆的脑门儿 涔涔的汗 比较有吸引力的当然是男教练啦 人长得帅 不免要多费些笔墨 那身比施瓦辛格稍逊三分却man味十足的肌肉 打眼一瞄 就能猜出他的职业 我以前顶讨厌那肌肉疙瘩 凹凸不平的身材 可这位教练不是空有一身肌肉的 身上迸发的热情才真具有杀伤力 summary Structure introduction development
