啄木鸟

It was indeed a jacamar, of which the plumage shines with a metallicluster.

不错，这是一只啄木鸟，它的羽毛发着金属的光泽。

"That must be a jacamar," said Herbert, trying to get nearer.

"那一定是啄木鸟，"赫伯特一面说，一面打算走近些。

"This will be a good opportunity to taste jacamar," replied the sailor,"if that fellow is in a humor to be roasted!"

"这一回可有机会尝尝啄木鸟的肉啦，"水手说，"看它是不是愿意让我们烤一烤！"

Towards seven in the morning the position was no longer tenable by thecolonists, who accordingly took shelter in the borders of Jacamar Wood.

早上将近七点钟的时候，居民们的阵地再也守不住了。于是他们就到啄木鸟林的边缘去藏身。

The soilsloped gradually from Mount Franklin to the east coast, and it was to befeared that, in spite of the thick Jacamar Wood, the torrent would reachthe plateau of Prospect Heights.

从富兰克林山起，地势逐渐在东海岸倾斜下去，虽然有浓密的啄木鸟林隔着，恐怕岩浆的洪流还是会冲到眺望岗的高地上去的。

It was, in fact, towards the corral that the lava was rushing as the newcrater faced the east, and consequently the fertile portions of the island,the springs of Red Creek and Jacamar Wood, were menaced with instantdestruction.

不错，岩浆正是向畜栏流去的。新的火山口面向着东方，因此，岛上的富饶地区、红河的源头和啄木鸟林马上就要遭到毁灭了。

"A jacamar!" cried Herbert.

"啄木鸟！"赫伯特喊道。

Just then, a stone cleverly thrown by the boy, struck the creature on thewing, but the blow did not disable it, and the jacamar ran off anddisappeared in an instant.

正在说着话，赫伯特巧妙地抛出一块石头，打着了啄木鸟的翅膀，但是并没有把它打倒，一转眼它就逃得无影无踪了。

Of Lincoln Island, the settlers knew thoroughly all the eastern coastfrom Claw Cape to the Mandible Capes, the extensive Tadorn Marsh, theneighborhood of Lake Grant, Jacamar Wood, between the road to the corraland the Mercy, the courses of the Mercy and Red Creek, and lastly, thespurs of Mount Franklin, among which the corral had been established.

在林肯岛上，居民们彻底了解的地方有：从爪角到颚骨角之间整个的东海岸，宽阔的潦凫沼地，格兰特湖的周围，畜栏路和慈悲河之间的啄木鸟林，慈悲河流域和红河流域，最后，还有富兰克林山的支脉——建立畜栏的那个地方。

Because the last confirmed sighting of an ivory-bill was in Louisiana in 1944, the Arkansas "discovery" was hailed at the time as the ornithological equivalent of finding Elvis alive, and the event catapulted the birds to celebrity status.

因为最后一次被确认的关于象牙喙啄木鸟的发现是在1944年的路易斯安娜州。所以阿肯色州的"发现"不啻于发现"猫王"复活。那次事件让这种鸟名声大噪。

Breath, muscle contraction of the buttocks; arch body, as far as possible to hold his head, right leg straight towards the ceiling (peg-leg knee in order to avoid muscle tension).

呼气，收缩臀部肌肉；拱起身体，尽量抬起头来，右腿伸直朝向天花板（膝微屈，以避免肌肉紧张）。
