(P108, Chapter 9) The pteranodon coasted down to the ground. lift off: 起飞 树屋原文:(P109, Chapter 9)He spread out his wings-and lifted off the ground. sail: 最常见的意思是航行,这里指飞行。 树屋原文:(P109, Chapter 9)He sailed over the hilltop. circle over: 这里的意思是hover, 盘旋。 树屋原文:(P109, Chapter 9) He circled over the valley. 除了树屋中出现的以上词汇,还应该记住一个很有用的词swoop:般用来描写猛禽扑食,俯冲而下——老鹰捉小鸡那种感觉。The eagle swooped down on its prey. |
