grace Taiwanese skies

But with careful planning, many wonderful species of birds will continue to grace Taiwanese skies for years to come.




I like the expression "grace Taiwanese skies," so I would make a similar sentence using "grace." Correct me if it doesn't sound good. Thanks.
Here it is:
Thank you for visiting us; you never come to my humble place without gracing it.

P.S. In fact, it's a Chinese polite expression. We often say this when a friend visits our place.

It's a nice compliment, Quiet One. The humble place sounds a bit like false modesty to an English ear.

Well, Thomas to an English ear any mannerism or expression as colourful as this one sounds like false modesty or simply like carrying things a bit too far. Be careful with it, quietdandelion (not as quiet judging from the number of posts you `ve written), it sounds a bit excessive outside of China and therefore, usually carries ironic undertones.

Here grace means favour, decorate, honour, embellish.
