Sorry to hear that 听到那样真令人难过
A foreign visitor touring the great american west came across an indian with his ear pressed to the ground.
一位外国游客到美国大西部游览，碰到一个印第安人把耳朵紧贴在地上。
"What are you listening for?" he asked.
“你在听什么呢？”他询问道。
"Stagecoach pass about half hour ago."
“一辆马车半小时前曾经过这里。” "How can you tell?"
“你怎么知道呢？”
"Broke my neck."
“我的脖子被撞断了。” 英语单词短语讲解
1.come across... 与... 不期而遇
=run into...
=encounter...
例：i have yet to come across a completely honest man.
(我尚未遇到一位完全诚实的人。） 2.press vt.压平；逼迫；压迫
例：the prosecutor pressed the witness for an answer.
(检察官逼迫目击者回答问题。） 3.listen for... 凭声音寻找……
本文中指印第安人凭声音判断附近的猎物。一般表“听……”则用listen to。 4.stagecoach n. 马车
本文正确写法应为：a stagecoach passed about half an hour ago.
作者以此表示该印第安人英语程度不佳。 5.how can you tell? 你如何判断的呢？
tell a from b 区别a和b
=tell between a and b
=tell a and b apart
=distinguish a from b
例：how can you tell the twins apart?
(你如何分辨这对双胞胎？）
太急燥了，要平心静气
