惊觉
1.Many parents had not realised what "alma mater" could imply until they tried to get their children registrated for primary 1.
2.It took another 10 years for me to awaken to the realization that I was missing a fair bit by ignoring my Chinese heritage.
3.He waits for the “tell-tale tingle down the spine” which alerts him to good writing.
4.Massacre happens again in one of the US school. Killer was a Korean, 32 people were killed.
5.I still remember a particular situation in my secondary school years where I was reading the daily newspapers in the school atrium while seated as if I was reading on a motorcycle on a low wall when I realised my vice-principal was sneaking walking towards me, catching me in this chor-lor fashion.
6.I am not sure what unmarried men think about marriage. But I have seen some young women who wasted much time before they realised that they were no longer young and that few eligible men were left in their circles.

The likeness passed away, like a breath along the surface of the gaunt pier-glass behind her, on the frame of which, a hospital procession of negro cupids, several head-less and all cripples, were offering black baskets of Dead Sea fruit to black divinities of the feminine gender--and he made his formal bow to Miss Manette.
他的目光落在了一个娇小美丽的身躯，一大堆金色的秀发，一双用询问的神色迎接着他的蓝色眼睛，还有一个那么年轻光洁、却具有那么独特的能力、可以时而抬起时而攒聚的前额上。那额头所露出的表情不完全是困惑、迷惘或是惊觉，也不仅仅是一种聪明集中的专注，不过它也包括了这四种表情。他一看到这一切，眼前便突然闪过一种强烈的似曾相识之感。那是一个孩子，他在跨越那海峡时曾抱在怀里的孩子。那天很冷，空中冰雹闪掠，海里浊浪排空。那印象消失了，可以说像呵在她身后那窄而高的穿衣镜上的一口气一样消失了。镜框上是像到医院探视病人的一群黑种小爱神，全都缺胳膊少腿，有的还没有脑袋，都在向黑皮肤的女神奉献盛满死海水果的黑色花篮--他向曼内特小姐郑重地鞠躬致敬。收藏指正
