牧羊

We've seen idyllic pictures of a shepherd and his sheep. He sits on a knoll in a lush meadow, a bird chirps in a tree, a gentle stream flows by, the sun shines, and here and there some sheep calmly graze and rest.

我们都看过牧羊人和他的羊一起的安详快乐景象，图画中牧羊人坐在繁茂草原的山丘上，鸟儿在树上吱喳地叫，有潺潺的溪水，阳光在照耀，羊群分散各处平静地吃草和休憩。

I don't know the attitude of the traditional herding people toward the merle pattern; although I have known a few merles that were being used for herding, I have never seen one in an Open trial class.

我不知道传统的牧羊人对merle的看法，但我知道一些陨石用于牧羊，但没有一只出现在公开的比赛中。

Decked out in a John Deere cap, western button down, Wranglers and cowboy boots, the general manager of the Dallas Mavericks doesn't wear recognition well.

在一个打扮约翰迪尔帽，西部键，牧羊人和牛仔靴，达拉斯小牛队的承认和不戴总经理。

Achilles had once taken both of them prisoners in the glades of Ida, and had bound them with fresh withes as they were shepherding, but he had taken a ransom for them; now, however, Agamemnon son of Atreus smote Isus in the chest above the nipple with his spear, while he struck Antiphus hard by the ear and threw him from his chariot.

在此之前，阿基琉斯曾抓过他们――其时，他俩正牧羊在伊达的坡面――缚之以坚韧的柳条，以后又收取赎礼，放入生还。这一次，阿特柔斯之子，统治着辽阔疆域的阿伽门农，击倒了伊索斯――投枪扎进胸脯，奶头的上面――剑劈了安提福斯，砍在耳朵上，把他撂下马车。

He said however unto me, that he would send the shepherd and the virgins back again to my house.

他说，但祂对我说，他将派遣牧羊人和处女再次回到我的房子。

The brown, knee-length modified Driza-bone coats, normally favored by horse-riding stockmen mustering sheep, were at least suited to the rainy Sydney weather on the first day of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting.

这款经改造的棕色及膝Driza-bone（字面意思是&像骨头一样干爽&，意为防水效果好）防水风衣深受澳大利亚骑马牧羊人们的青睐，至少对于本届峰会第一天悉尼的阴雨天气来说，这款衣服还是很合适的。

Even if the rats prove reliable bomb sniffers, they may not prove as loyal of a companion as German Shepherds.

After the show, we went outside to see sheepdogs at work in a competition.

看完表演後，我们去外头看牧羊犬牧羊比赛。

A scientist who studies ethology, or animal behavior, might ask how prehistoric shepherds first coaxed such useful behavior from their domesticated wolves, the ancestors of today's sheepdogs.

一个动物行为学的学者会问史前的牧羊者们是怎样哄骗他们驯化的狼，也就是牧羊犬的祖先，去做这些行为的呢？

We have no common name for a mime of Sophron or Xenarchus and a Socratic Conversation; and we should still be without one even if the imitation in the two instances were in trimeters or elegiacs or some other kind of verse--though it is the way with people to tack on 'poet' to the name of a metre, and talk of elegiac-poets and epic-poets, thinking that they call them poets not by reason of the imitative nature of their work, but indiscriminately by reason of the metre they write in.

索夫农 、森那库斯和苏格拉底式的对话采用的模仿没有一个公共的名称；三音步诗、挽歌体或其他类型的诗的模仿也没有——人们把&诗人&这一名词和格律名称结合到一起，称之为挽歌体诗人或者史诗诗人，他们被称为诗人，似乎只是因为遵守格律写作，而非他们作品的模仿本质。

The relationship between communicative competence and grammar teaching should be that of the ends and the means.
