| 5. |
當作名詞用，請參閱另一首"anyone lived in a pretty how town", 其中 how字似又當作形容詞用，康明思對字的運用真是自由靈活，為所欲為。 |
|
| spine: | 脊髓骨。[back] | |
| 6-7. | ...trembling -firm-smooth ness: |
在標點符號上也反成規，把原該放在 trembling後的連號字(hyphen) 硬置於firm之前;又把 ness和smooth分開 ，意思是 ness和 firm, smooth都有關係，即:firmness and smoothness。[back] |
| 9 | 句首的 kiss和第二行首的 body都是用來加強效果的。[back] |
| 10. | fuzz: | (身上的)細毛。[back] |
| 11. | what-is-it: | 把一個問句連起來當名詞，意為「無以名之的東西」。[back] |
| 12. | eyes big love-crumbs: | 相當費解，或指把對方的眼睛當作麵包屑，輕輕吻啄之。[back] |
| 14. | 句末無句點，頗有意猶未盡之感。 |
