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

當(dāng)米德爾頓看到這個(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!"

他喊道：”我把采了很多蜜的蜜蜂封入了蜂巢，我理解這片林子，但如何走出去，就如同不碰大黃蜂，而得到它的刺一樣！”

他們暗中依賴?yán)先素S富的經(jīng)驗(yàn)，利用他自己在遠(yuǎn)處偵查到的目標(biāo)，

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.

一起穿過這片被燒過的開闊地。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。
