"Most wonderful!" said Middleton, when he saw the complete success of the device: "the thought was a gift from Heaven."

當(dāng)米德?tīng)栴D看到這個(gè)策略獲得徹底的成功時(shí)，他叫道：“真是精彩絕倫啊！這個(gè)想法簡(jiǎn)直是來(lái)自天堂的禮物?！?/p>

"Old trapper," cried Paul, thrusting his fingers through his shaggy locks,

“老獵人，”保羅的手指插入了蓬松的蜂巢，

"I have lined many a loaded bee into his hole, and know something of the nature of the woods, but this is robbing a hornet of his sting without touching the insect!"

through the openings which the air occasionally made in the immense bodies of smoke, that by this time lay in enormous piles on every part of the plain.

一起穿過(guò)這片被燒過(guò)的開(kāi)闊地。浮塵讓空氣變得越發(fā)濃重，草原周圍放眼望去都是濃黑的煙柱。
