Part I Words
1 gingerly ad.
If something needs to be done with great care and caution, you should do it gingerly.
谨慎地，小心翼翼地。本以为这个词会和ginger有什么关系，结果毫不相关。
e.g. Septimus crouched down beside the body and, gingerly, lifted its head by the hair.
2. taut a.
It sounds like the word "taught" and means stretched tight, like a rope, muscles, or even nerves. It's nice to have a taut body with tight muscles, but not so great to have a taut mind — tightly wound and tense. 肌肉结实的；显得紧张、焦虑不安的
e.g. She told him, her voice taut, "now that you have saved my life, you are responsible for me..."
3. squander one's youth\ time
浪费青春\ 虚度光阴
虽然认识这个词，但要是让我翻译浪费时光，我多半想不到这个词，在笔记里写一遍加深一下印象。
4. avid a.
Avid usually means very eager or enthusiastic. If you're an avid reader, it means you read as much as you can, whenever you can. 热衷的，酷爱的
希望大家都能跟着Eric成为一个avid reader

Part III Summary
Septimus followed Primus to the pass in the mountain, and he found the corpse of the latter gladly, which indicated that he was the last one alive of the three heirs of Stormhold.
The witch-queen carried the dead unicorn with her. She made a blood puddle by cutting its head and managed to speak with her sisters. Had the star crossed the Wall and entered Tristran's world, she would be useless to the witches. Therefore, they decided to wait for her at Diggory's Dyke, for all who go to Wall must pass that way.
Tristran made up with the star and the star finally told him her name--- Yvaine. Tristran attracted attention from a small ship named Perdita up in the sky above them, and the crew helped them aboard. The crew treated both of them with hospitality, and they spent their happiest time ever on that ship.
Part IV
Septimus真是愚蠢而又狠毒的一个人，而witch-queen受了重伤仍然不死心，这份执着也是没谁了。感觉他们俩旗鼓相当，期待他俩因为争夺星星女打起来。
Tristran又一次被救了，在他的探险道路上，总是不断地遇到乐意帮助他的人，这和他的善良淳朴是分不开的。可喜可贺的是，星星女的态度终于有所松动，能好好跟Tristran说话了，就看他俩进一步发展了。
