A jaunty hat is one that’s stylish and cheerful at the same time, a quality that can be accentuated if the person wears it in a jaunty fashion, perhaps off to the side or over one eye. Playing the part of a jaunty person is easy if you’re feeling upbeat and chipper and want the world to know it.
Elves are often jaunty in their own way. Sporting their spiffy outfits and featuring that trademark cheerful spring in their step. The fact they always seem so lively and eager to chat only increases the jaunty impression they make. One can’t be blamed for wanting to take a jaunt with the jaunty little guys.
一顶活泼的帽子既时尚又欢快，如果人们以活泼的方式佩戴它，可能会偏向一侧或遮住一只眼睛，这种品质会更加突出。如果您感到乐观和爽快并希望全世界都知道，扮演一个活泼的人的角色很容易。精灵通常以他们自己的方式欢快。穿着他们漂亮的衣服，在他们的脚步中展现出标志性的欢快春天。事实上，他们看起来总是那么活泼，热衷于聊天，这只会增加他们给人的活泼印象。不能因为想要和活泼的小家伙一起短途旅行而受到指责。
