Some examples of objects that are translucent are stained glass, net curtains, colored plastic cups, frosted glass, honey, fog and a leaf. Translucent is sometimes confused with Transparent which means you can see through the object clearly as opposed to the other extreme with the word Opaque, which means that you cannot see through the object at all.
A quote:
Sabrina fair,
Listen where thou are sitting
Under the glassy, cool, translucent wave
In twisted braids of lilies knitting
The loose train of my amber-dropping hair.
By John Milton
English Poet, Historian and Scholar.
He ranked second to Shakespeare among English poets (1608-1674)
Translucent is a word that runs off your tongue delicately and smoothly. It brings lovely images to mind like butterflies and waves on the sea and gives me feelings of softness and beauty. I like this word!
ReplyDeleteThanks Liz. It is a smooth and silky word that brings to mind beautiful images.
