在他们眼里我是够“酷”的，直到他们的父亲回家，在后院里只花了两分钟，便捕获了一只有奇瓦瓦小狗那么大的甲虫！

I was "cool" until their father came home, spent two minutes in the backyard, and captured a beetle the size of a Chihuahua.

我一路快跑冲过狂热的甲虫，经过一条长廊通向二楼，我在往西面的楼梯下去，来到一楼，我感到心情愉快，好像处在早期动作侦探时代一样。

I sprint through beetle mania into the longhallway that bisects the second floor, down the west staircase to the first floor, grateful to be in the pre-motion-detector era.

我看到浮在沙峰上的雾，钮扣甲虫和鸟儿。

I see fog suspended at dune peaks, button beetles, and birds.
