牧羊狗

Standing at the entrance of the valley, I found the scene in the valley was very different with the view on the way, at back of a house, there were so many luxuriant white poplars, flaxen leaves twinkling in the very tender Xia Te river, two collies were convoying three gooses and one duck passing by us leisurely, I could feel they showed their scorn in their eyes.

站在沟口看，沟内风光与沿途所见大为不同，房后面是茂密的杨树林，淡黄色的叶子在柔柔的夏特河中闪着烁烁金光，两只牧羊狗护送着三只鹅和一只鸭子从容的从我们身边经过，我能感受到它们眼中不屑的目光。

Use the shepherd dogs to pursue sheep or to block their way.

使用牧羊狗追求羊，或阻止他们的方式。

The rationale against white dogs in sheep herding is that the sheep will not have sufficient respect for a dog that is the same color they are.

在牧羊中，反对白色犬的理由就是，羊群不会对和它一样颜色的狗表达必要的畏惧。

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.

交际能力和语法的关系应该是目标与途径的关系。
