鸟鹬

The offbeat character of the Kiwi bird has been developed after millions of years of isolation on the New Zealand islands: they are chubby flightless, nocturnal birds with hair-like feathers, they breathe through nostrils at the end of their beaks, the female lays eggs that are half a kilogram in weight (about 20% of body weight), which the male incubates .

鹬鸵不寻常的特性是经过千百万年在新西兰岛屿上离群索居发展而来的：它们是体态丰满、不会飞的夜行鸟；羽毛像体毛一样纤细；通过喙末端的鼻孔呼吸；雌鸟产蛋，蛋重半公斤(约为体重的20％)，雄鸟孵蛋。

今天要是不下雨，明天也是要不下雨，鹬鸟说到我想你也快完蛋了。

Within a few hours, you have enjoyed the green valleys, with their rivers, fine old bridges, pleasant villiages, hanging woods, smooth fields, and the moorland slopes, with their rushing streams, stone walls, salty winds and crying curlews, white farmhouse, and then the lonely heights which seem to be miles above the ordinary world, and moorland tracks as remote, it seems, as trails in Mongolia

只用几小时，你可以欣赏到河流和绿色的河谷流域、精巧的老桥、令人愉快的村庄、高山上的树木、平整的田野和起伏的沼泽地。你可以看到急流、石墙和白色的农舍，呼吸到带咸味的风，听到杓鹬鸟的叫声。然后，你可以看到仿佛不属于凡间的寂静的山峰；沼泽地上的路象蒙古草原上踩出的一条小路一样依稀可见。
