Silhouette源于１８世纪法国一位叫西卢埃特（Silhouette）的财务大臣。此君在财政困难时代，厉行节俭政策，崇尚朴素反对豪华，连自己的肖像画也只许用黑白素描。为此他的名声就流传后世。Silhouette后来表示：轮廓、影子。

歌曲《Moonlight shadow》中有一句歌词：

All she saw was a silhouette of a gun, far away on the other side.

她只目睹那把枪的轮廓，就在河远远的另一岸。

He drew the city in silhouette. 他勾勒出这个城市的轮廓。

. Even from behind in silhouette, Billy recognized the figure.

即便看到的只是背影的轮廓，比利还是认出了那个人影。

Horizon用于指地平线，引申词义视野，范围。

The sun rose above the horizon.太阳升到地平线上。

Travel broadens one's horizons. 旅行可开阔人的眼界。

warn vt. 警告；告诫；预先通知 vi. 发出警告

warn against (v.+prep.) 告诫,当心,提防

The doctor warned the patient against smoking.

Grace 女生名，n. 优美；优雅；恩惠

Amazing Grace》中文翻译为《奇异恩典》，也有人称《天赐恩宠》，是美国最脍炙人口的一首乡村福音歌曲。Grace原意为"优雅、优美"，此处解释成"上帝对人类的慈悲、恩宠"。Grace作动词使用表：使优美；使荣耀
