- For the first question and answer, "more surprised" needs "...than mad" added at the end because it is part of a comparison (how they think you feel vs how you actually feel). "No, I'm more surprised than mad." (No, I feel this way instead of that way.) The second question/answer uses "more of a" correctly, with the phrase "...than a ghost" being implied and not needing to be said.0 votedNovember 19, 20180
It's metaphorical but it isn't a common metaphor. A fist is something usually related to fighting or, more generally, aggression. And prisons are something that don't have a good sense or feeling to them. So, in this case, the prison is something dark and aggressive in the distance.
Does that help?
0 votedOctober 12, 20180- I have had this dilemma myself for a few years. Where I live, the town is about 45% Central American so Spanish is almost as common as English. But I learned Italian instead. And I am debating between Russian and German now. In my opinion, your heart is your motivation so if your heart isn't into a language, you won't have much motivation to learn it and you will probably learn it a lot slower.0 votedOctober 11, 20180
In this case, "dropped into a narrow valley" means the road entered a valley that was not wide. It gives the sense that the road entered the valley suddenly (without much warning that it was going into a valley).
The second phrase, " a knot of low buildings that floated in a heat shimmer" means there was a group of single and 2 story buildings that seemed to float. This is because when the air is hot, objects far away are distorted by the rising air so they seem to shimmer. Shimmer is an effect that is a soft, slightly wavering light.
If you need me to explain it better, just ask. Parlo l'italiano un po' e allora forse posso spiegare questa in quella lingua.
