词条 | Johnny Noddy |
释义 |
}} In English folklore a Johnny Noddy is the dancing light reflected from a mirror or reflective object such as a watch face. A Johnny Noddy could also be the light you see reflected in a cup of tea. "I have not seen her. But through the embrasure I often saw the sunlight flashing and leaping like a thing of life, and I knew it was what the children call a 'Johnny Noddy.' Now a 'Johnny Noddy' argueth a mirror, and a mirror argueth a woman, and frequent use thereof argueth a beautiful woman."[1] References1. ^{{cite book |last=Zangwill |first=Israel |author-link= Israel Zangwill |title= The King of Schnorrers |publisher= Macmillan |pages=155 |year=1893 |url= http://www.freefictionbooks.org/books/k/45128-the-king-of-schnorrers-by-israel-zangwill?start=154}} 1 : English folklore |
