斑驴

And, also, there was an Ethiopian with bows and arrows (a exclusively greyish-brownish-yellowish man he was then), who lived on the High Veldt with the Leopard; and the two used to hunt together—the Ethiopian with his bows and arrows, and the Leopard exclusively with his teeth and claws—till the Giraffe and the Eland and the Koodoo and the Quagga and all the rest of them didn't know which way to jump, Best Beloved.

带着弓箭的，与豹子一同生活在高地草原上的埃塞俄比亚人，常常与豹子一起在草原上狩猎：埃塞俄比亚人用弓箭，豹子则用它的锋牙利爪，直到长颈鹿、大羚羊、纰角鹿、斑驴和所有其它的动物无处可逃。

It differed from other zebras mainly in having stripes on the head, neck, and front portion of its body only, and having brownish, rather than white, on its upper parts.

它与其他斑马的主要区别在于，斑驴的条纹只出现在头部、颈部和身体的前半部分，并且身体的上部呈褐色而非白色状。

It was not realized that this Quagga mare was the very last of her kind.

那时人类还没有认识到这头雌驴就是最后一头斑驴了。

The Quagga was a southern subspecies of the Plains Zebra.

斑驴是南非草原斑马的一个亚种。

"These are onagers!" cried Herbert,"animals something between the zebraand the quagga!"

"是野驴！"赫伯特喊道，"一种介乎斑驴和斑马之间的牲口！"

Because of the confusion caused by the indiscriminate use of the term "Quagga" for any zebra, the true Quagga was hunted to extinction without this being realized until many years later.

因为其他的斑马也被随意混称为"斑驴"，直到许多年过后，人们才认识到真正的斑驴已经被猎捕灭绝了。

The Quagga became extinct because it was ruthlessly hunted down for meat and leather by South African farmers, also they were seen by the settlers as competitors, like other wild grass eating animals, for their livestock, mainly sheep and goats.

斑驴的灭绝一方面是因为南非的农场主为了食其肉利其皮而进行残酷的捕杀，另一方面在于它们被当地殖民者视为其家畜，如绵羊、山羊这类其他食草动物的天敌。

The resulting hybrid was predictable, but the singularity appeared when the Arabian mare was subsequently mated with an Arabian stallion: their offspring possessed colour and hair characteristics of the quagga.

但后来怪事出现了，那匹阿拉伯母驴后来与一匹阿拉伯种马交配后，他们的后代拥有斑驴的肤色及毛发特征。

In attempting to domesticate the quagga—a zebra-like, South American member of the horse family—he was forced to breed a male with a female Arabian mare.

他在试图驯养斑驴（一种马，产于南美，外型象斑马，现已绝迹）时，这匹雄性斑驴与一匹雌性阿拉伯母驴交配，杂交的结果正常。

Quaggas were the first extinct animals to have their DNA analyzed; after this was done, the very close relationship between quaggas and zebras was discovered.

由于对斑马的分类极度混乱，尤其是对于一般大众来说，斑驴灭绝时人们还将它视作一个独立物种。

With Death guitarist Schuldiner adopting vocal duties, the band made a major impact on the scene.

随着死亡的吉他手Schuldiner接受主唱的职务，乐队在现实中树立了重要的影响。

But he could still end up breakfasting on Swiss-government issue muesli because all six are accused of nicking around 45 million pounds they should have paid to FIFA.

不过他最后仍有可能沦为瑞士政府&议事餐桌&上的一道早餐，因为这所有六个人都被指控把本应支付给国际足联的大约4500万英镑骗了个精光。
