alight on

基本解释

The mildest of these is simply that these insects were named because they tended to alight on milk or cheese left unattended.
这其中，最温柔的一种解释很简单：它们喜欢落在没有罩好的牛奶或者奶酪上面。
I felt the same damp moss covering the worms inthe bait can, and saw the dragonfly alight on the tip of my rod as it hovered afew inches from the surface of the water.
饵料盒里盖住鱼虫的苔藓还是当年那般的潮湿，一只蜻蜓在水面上方几英寸处盘旋，然后落在我的鱼竿末梢。
Birds would soar through it into the upper radiance, and hang on the wing sunning themselves, or alight on the wet rails subdividing the mead, which now shone like glass rods.
小鸟也会从雾气中飞出来，一直飞到高空中发光的地方，停在半空中晒太阳，或者，它们降落在把草地隔离起来的湿栏杆上，这时的栏杆闪闪发亮，像玻璃棒一样。

Each sunrise he would alight on our greenhouse roof and slide down the glass panels, pecking furiously at his scarlet reflection.
