巨蜥goanna[英]['gəʊnə] [美]['goʊnə] 中英文故事：士兵和妇人（1） 士兵醒来后，醉意未消。晚上喝了太多瓶邦迪酒，现在还没吃早饭。他乘坐的那辆旧式丰田车每颠簸一下，饿得空空的肚子就随车起伏。戴着无檐便帽的老妇人毫无表情地盯着他。士兵可以从包中拿出每天配给的食物吃一点，但是他觉得在这么多人面前打开食品包不礼貌。 前面的老人回过头来。“你吃巨蜥吗？”他笑道，“你们这些白人喜欢吃巨蜥类的灌木丛动物.” The soldier has a hangover. Too many Bundies the night before and no breakfast. Every time the ancient Toyota hits a rut, his guts heave. The old lady with the Magpie beanie stares at him impassively. He could do with a snack from his ration pack but it might be rude to open it in front of these people. The old man in the front turns around. “You want eat goanna?” he chuckles. “You white-fellas like bush tucker. ” |
