蟋蟀

Let me tell you one story, it's about an entomologist with hiscricket, and the entomologist's friend as a businessman with one coin.

我给大家讲一个故事，关于一位昆虫学家和他的蟋蟀，关于昆虫学家的商人朋友

The New Zealand weta, for example, is a flightless cricket that lives in high altitudes.

比如说新西兰沙螽，这是一种生活在高海拔地区的无翅蟋蟀。

I would play some sports that I haven't played in China such as footy, cricket and netball which are lots of fun as well.

我会演奏我在中国未演奏例如footy的有些是许多乐趣的体育，蟋蟀和netball。

Blue Fairy, cricket speak out of turn, the fox and cat food fire and all other characters are Nuoqiu piece of magic in the world waiting for you!

蓝仙女、多嘴蟋蟀、猫及狐、食火者和其他所有人物都在匹诺丘的魔幻世界中等着你呢！

The cricket let Pinocchio and Geppetto live in his house.

蟋蟀让皮诺奇和格培多跟他一起住。

Outdoors all afternoon under a gunmetal sky staking my garden down, I kneeled to the crickets trilling underfoot as if about to burst from their crusty shells; and like a child again marveled to hear so clear and brave a music pour from such a small machine.

户外的整个下午炮铜色的天空下，我拆倒花园的木桩，跪听蟋蟀的合唱脚下那些歌鸣就要从它们坚硬的外壳中爆裂；而我象个孩童一样大为震惊只因听到这么清晰而又英勇的音乐迸涌发自那么小的一个机器。

Tie down the foam and form the head of the cricket...

把泡沫绑起形成蟋蟀的头部。。。

Well, I didn't understand that at all. I kept real quite and wished those crickets would hush up so I could hear.

我刻意把我的心平静下来，真希望那些蟋蟀也能闭上嘴巴，好让我能听清楚。

Every fact which occurs in the bed, on the banks or in the air over it; the fishes, and their spawning and nests, their manners, their food; the shad-flies which fill the air on a certain evening once a year, and which are snapped at by the fishes so ravenously that many of these die of repletion; the conical heaps of small stones on the river-shallows, the huge nests of small fishes, one of which will sometimes overfill a cart; the birds which frequent the stream, heron, duck, sheldrake, loon, osprey; the snake, muskrat, otter, woodchuck and fox, on the banks; the turtle, frog, hyla and cricket, which make the banks vocal, were all known to him, and, as it were, townsmen and fellow creatures; so that he felt an absurdity or violence in any narrative of one of these by itself apart, and still more of its dimensions on an inch-rule, or in the exhibition of its skeleton, or the specimen of a squirrel or a bird in brandy.

河床上的河岸上的每一个变化，以及空气变化；河中的鱼类及产卵期和汇聚处，它们的行为和食物；河鲱蝇在一年的某天夜里充斥了空气被河中的鱼疯狂吞吃，以至于好多鱼暴胀而亡；在河的浅水湾的一些圆锥形石堆，其中有一个有时能装满一手推车，----这些石堆是一些小鱼的巨巢；那些经常巡游河中的水鸟，苍鹭、鸭子、翘鼻麻鸭、潜水鸟、鱼鹰；河岸的蛇、麝鼠、水獭、啄木鸟和狐狸；还有那使得岸边有了活力的龟、青蛙、雨蛙和蟋蟀----这一切他都熟悉，就像它们是镇子上的人和同类；于是他会感到强烈的荒谬和粗暴在看到任何关于它们的孤零零的描述，以及把它们丰富的内涵压缩在一个方寸的纸上，或展览它们的骨骼，或把一只雀儿和鸟类泡在白兰地酒中保存。

They both looked up, and there, sitting on the beam, was Jimminy Cricket.

他们俩往上看，在那儿，蟋蟀吉米尼坐在梁柱上。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
