像蛙的

That hypercondensed biography, the scientists said, may well make the chameleon the shortest-lived tetrapod on Earth , a creature chronologically more like a butterfly or a sea squirt than like the other reptiles, frogs, birds and mammals with which it is taxonomically bundled.

科学家说，这是一个浓缩的传记，最好把这种变色龙命名为地球上寿命最短的四足动物，按时间先后顺序排列，是一种更像蝴蝶或海鞘的生物，而不像其它的爬行动物，蛙类，鸟类和哺乳动物。

Of the shark-kind some have no fins, such as those that are flat and long-tailed, as the ray and the sting-ray, but these fishes swim actually by the undulatory motion of their flat bodies; the fishing frog, however, has fins, and so likewise have all such fishes as have not their flat surfaces thinned off to a sharp edge.

一些鲨鱼类动物没有鳍，就像貂鱼和黄貂鱼一样，但是这些鱼实际上是靠扁平身体的波动来移动；然而鱼蛙有脚，就像所有没有平滑身体削薄到尖锐边缘的鱼类一样。

Think of a frog. It has various stages of development: zygote, tadpole and finally adult.

就像青娃，有不同的生长阶段：受精卵时期，蝌蚪时期，最后才是成蛙。

They have one to two visible claws on each of their paddle-like flippers.

它们有1～2个看得见的爪在每个它们的桨-像蛙鞋。

Carrying out his fatherly duty, a male Oreophryne frog in Papua, New Guinea, guards his clutch and two newly hatched froglets that rest atop the egg mass.

履行它的像父辈一样的职责，一只雄性oreophryne青蛙在巴布亚新几内亚，看守保护它的一窝和两只新孵出来的小蛙休息在卵块之上。

And instead of hatching as tadpoles, the offspring emerge as miniature versions of their parents—some not much larger than pinheads.

孵化出的后代也不是蝌蚪样，而是像它们的父母，只是个头缩水了——有些幼蛙的身体仅与针头一般大小。

Anurognathus was a tiny pterosaur that had a short head, pin-like teeth for catching insects, and although it traditionally is ascribed to the long tailed pterosaur group, its tail was comparatively short, allowing it more manoeuvrability for hunting in woodland.

蛙嘴龙是一种体形小巧的翼龙。它的头短短的，牙齿像针一样，利于捕食昆虫。尽管传统上将它归入长尾巴翼龙群，但蛙嘴龙的尾巴相对较短，使其在林丛中捕食更具有灵动性。

In the negative and interrogative forms, of course, this is identical to the non-emphatic forms.

。但是，在否定句或疑问句里，这种带有"do"的方法表达的效果却没有什么强调的意思。

Go down on one's knees;kneel down

屈膝跪下。。。下跪祈祷
