袋鼠kangaroo[英][ˌkæŋɡə'ru:] [美][ˌkæŋɡəˈru] 中英文故事：哈维的圣诞节（1） 哈维在阳台背阴处，疲惫地躺倒在长椅上拉开啤酒罐的拉环。他瞟了一眼天空中慢慢聚集的缕缕云彩，拍了一下坐在身旁的红猎狗的脖子，问:“你怎么想，伙计？这次会下雨吗?” 狗摇了摇尾巴，叹了口气,爬在了阳台上。他灰褐色的下巴探在胸前，用一只眼看着哈维, 一动不动，期待着什么，只有耳朵不时抖动几下，驱赶苍蝇。三年来，他们经常这样交流。谈话内容可能包括从天空中掠过的黑头鹦鹉的数量:住在丛林中的老人们说,六只鹦鹉预示着连续 下六天雨，而第一年干旱便证明了这传说是错的。鹦鹉闭嘴了，家畜卖光了，溪水干涸了，袋鼠只得长途跋涉，寻找新水源。 Harvey slumped onto the bench in the shade of the veranda and snapped the ring- pull from a beer. He squinted at the wispy, gathering clouds teasing the sky and roughed the neck of his red cattle dog sitting beside him. “What do you reckon, mate? Will it rain this time?” he said. The dog swept his tail along the boards, heaved a sigh and lay down on the veranda. He settled a grey peppered jaw on his chest and watched Harvey with one eye open, anticipating, motionless except for the twitching of his ears as a fly settled. They’d had this conversation many times over the last three years. The discussion used to in¬clude the number of black cockatoos that screeched across the sky ： six black cockatoos—six days of rain, or so the old bushes said. The first year of drought had proved the legend wrong，and then the cockatoos stopped, the cattle were sold and the kangaroos. 中英文例句 1.
