From Dormouse559:
That evening very late
Very late that evening, only a little before midnight, when the full moon had hanged high and hung high in the sky and was shining brightly, a weird thing occurred.
By the lake in the city park, several swans were asleep sleeping, with their shadows falling on the sandy shore. All The shadows were clear and about the shape of an egg. There and then then, one of these shades shadows started changing; it lengthened slowly along the flat land as if a big, dark chewing gum as if it were a big, dark wad/lump of chewing gum. In a few moments it came into took on the shape of a human being.► Show Spoiler

……我用錯字了嗎? Period 不是有 「時期 」的意思嗎?我無意間抖了個我自己都不知道的包袱,用了個英文的雙關語是嗎?

开玩笑而已。在其他语境里,period也是月经的意思。

He stopped his steps, wiped the sweat from his face, and fanned himself by repeatedly pulling his shirt, which had been soaked through and was sticking to his back and chest. After glancing upward at the high-hanging, blazing sun, he felt more thirsty.

"unusual".
I find all their experiences unusual, too; or
I think (that) all their experiences are unusual, too.
(I find the use of "uncommon" a bit more unusual than "unusual.")
