【英译汉欣赏】With September comes a sense of autumn. It creeps in on a misty dawn and vanishes in the hot afternoon. It tiptoes through the treetops, rouging a few leaves, then rides a tuft of thistledown across the valley and away. It sits on a hilltop and hoots like an October owl in the dusk. It plays tag with the wind. September is a changeling, busy as a squirrel in a hickory tree, idle as a languid brook. It is summer’s ripeness and richness fulfilled. 九月来了,秋意渐浓。它潜行于薄雾的凌晨,又消失在炽热的午后。它踏着树梢,染红叶片,乘着丝丝蓟花绒毛,越过峡谷,飘然而去。它有时滞留在山巅,好似十月黄昏残照下的猫头鹰,咕咕作响;有时又与风儿嬉闹,你躲我藏。九月真是变化莫测,忙来如山核桃树上的松鼠,闲来却又像懒散缓流的小溪。它占尽了夏日的丰饶和成熟。

这些毛茸茸的爪爪都是蜘蛛的
美国自然历史博物馆的节肢动物学家 Norman Platnick 说,蜘蛛的腿和喵星人的腿有很多类似的地方,比如都是毛茸茸的,这叫做刚毛(setae);而且大约一半的蜘蛛科的爪爪末端都像喵星人一样长着尖尖的钩子,叫做爪,爪附近的毛毛叫做毛簇(claw tuft),就像猫爪上的肉垫一样。
