例题 2
The male and female mosquitoes make an odd couple. The female is a vampire and lives on blood. The male is a vegetarian that sips nectar and plant juices. Females of different species choose different hosts on which to dine. Some feed exclusively on cattle， horses， birds and other warm-blooded creatures. Some favor cold-blooded animals. Still others prefer man.
While the females menu varies， her bite remains the same. She drives her sharp， tubular snout through the skin， injects a fluid to deep the blood from clothing， and drinks her fill， which takes a minute or less. It is fluid she injects that carries disease. After her blood meal， she rests while her eggs develop. She then looks for a moist or flooded place to lay them.

例题 3
Every afternoon a line of very old women passes down the road outside my home， each carrying a load of firewood. All of them are tiny. It seems to be generally the case in primitive countries that the women， at a certain age， shrink to the size of children. One day a poor old creature who could not have been more than four feet tall crept past me under a vast load of wood. I stopped her and put a five-sou piece ( less than a penny) into her hand. She answered with a shrill wail， almost a scream， which was partly gratitude but mainly surprise. I suppose that from her point of view I seemed almost to be violating a law of nature. She accepted her status as an old woman， that is to say， a beast of burden (驮畜).
