“哦，我为有线写作科技方面的文章”，我回应道。

When walking somewhere, I let Hattie lead, because then I'm not obliged to wave to anyone or chirp some greeting that will likely not be returned.

要去什么地方时，我就让海蒂领路，因为那样我就不必向人挥手或者叽叽喳喳地打招呼了，这些一般都得不到回应。

youdao

As one reaches into a nest, so my hand reached for the wealth of the nations; as men gather abandoned eggs, so I gathered all the countries; not one flapped a wing, or opened its mouth to chirp.

我的手够到列国的财宝，好像人够到鸟窝。我也得了全地，好像人拾起所弃的雀蛋。

youdao

When I say "pigeon," I don't really seem to have any particular sense of an onomatopoetic word, but if I use the Latin, pipio, which means "to chirp," all of a sudden I say, "Oh, that's onomatopoetic."

当我说鸽子的时候,这个词并不能，反应它自身的意思，但是如果我用拉丁语说鸽子，也就是咕咕“,这就是拟声了“
