i am confronted with a question and i think it very easy for the native speaker to sovle my problem.
i don't know the meaning of the sentence:
"many a man has fallen in love with a girl in a light so dim he would not have chosen a suit by it'
it seems to be a quotation written by a famous person about love
i am confused about its implied meaning
i do hope someone can help me 
thank you
i look forward to the right awnser . |

Next time you might want to post in the "Learning English" or "Help Center" Forums. I'll try to explain.
It says that many men have fallen in love with a girl in a place where the lights were dim (they couldn't see very well). They wouldn't have gone shopping and tried to buy a suit in a light that was as dim as that. The implication is that in a bright light, the person might not have been so attractive.
Edit: Oops, I see you already also posted in the other forum. |
