●One Snowy Night

○《雪夜》

One snowy Christmas， a cold little hedgehog1 wakes from his winter sleep to find a present from Father Christmas. Its a snug2， woolly3 red hat—just what he needs. But when little hedgehog tries to wear the hat， his prickles4 get in the way and it wont fit. Then little hedgehog has a wonderful idea.

一個下雪的圣誕節(jié)，一只寒冷的小刺猬從冬眠中醒來，找到了圣誕老人送來的一份禮物。這是一頂舒適的、毛茸茸的紅帽子——正是它所需要的。但是當小刺猬想戴帽子的時候，它的刺擋住了，戴不上。于是小刺猬想出了一個好主意。

It has 37 metres long， and the lines are 10 inches wide！The big cat was found when workers were building a door for visitors to look out onto the hills. The drawing is actually older than some of the other geoglyphs in the area. It was found by a drone. Its said that the big cat is over 2，000 years old.

在山上畫只大貓干什么？這是一幅地畫，剛剛在秘魯靠近納斯卡線的山丘上發(fā)現(xiàn)的。這幅畫有37米長，線條有10英寸寬！這只巨大的貓科動物是在工人們建造一個讓游客們眺望群山的入口時發(fā)現(xiàn)的。這幅畫實際上比這個地區(qū)其他一些地理標志建筑還要古老。它是由一架無人機發(fā)現(xiàn)的。據(jù)說這只大貓已經(jīng)有2000多年的歷史了。
