Just then, a stone cleverly thrown by the boy, struck the creature on thewing, but the blow did not disable it, and the jacamar ran off anddisappeared in an instant. 正在说着话,赫伯特巧妙地抛出一块石头,打着了啄木鸟的翅膀,但是并没有把它打倒,一转眼它就逃得无影无踪了。
“That must be a jacamar,” said Herbert, trying to get nearer. “那一定是啄木鸟,”赫伯特一面说,一面打算走近些。
“This will be a good opportunity to taste jacamar,” replied the sailor,”if that fellow is in a humor to be roasted! “这一回可有机会尝尝啄木鸟的肉啦,”水手说,“看它是不是愿意让我们烤一烤!”
