是日補習，跟中五學生研習 2011 年高考英文科 Section C 的試題，當中有這樣一句：
They (= ghosts) thrive in an atmosphere of candlelight and decay.
著學生解釋，他斷斷續續道：「他們 ... 成長 (= thrive) ... 在大氣層 (= atmosphere) ...」
栗妹即時叫道：「甚麼？鬼在大氣層成長？！」說罷師生二人嘻哈大笑
[按：此句的 atmosphere 該解作「氣氛」，thrive 則宜譯作「興旺、興盛」。]
I don't think candle-light should be hyphenated unless it's an adjective, which it clearly isn't, in this sentence. Way to go, HKEAA!
