Notesonthetext课文注释

1atlarge是介词短语,此处暗示“逍遥安闲”.“行为自由”的意思.

2WhenreportscameintoLondonZoothatawildpumahadbeenspottedforty-fivemilessouthofLondon,当伦敦动物园接到陈陈述,在伦敦以南45英里的地方发明一头野生美洲狮时.这个从句中以that引诱的从句是reports的同位语,用于进一步解释陈述的内容.

3feelobligedtodosth.是“觉得不克不及不做某事”的意思.

4itleftbehinditatrailof,它逝世后留下一串…….

atrailof作left的宾语,behindit是状语,提到宾语之前是为了使句子构造更紧凑.

5pumafurwasfoundclingingtobushes中,clinging是如今分词,此处作主语pumafur的主语补足语.下文中Asnopumashadbeenreportedmissing…一句中,missing也是如今分词作主语补足语.

6inthepossessionof,为……所有.

参考译文

美洲狮是一种体形似猫的大动物,产于美洲.当伦敦动物园接到陈陈述,在伦敦以南45英里处发明一只美洲狮时,这些陈述并没有受到看重.可是,跟着证据越来越多,动物园的专家们觉得有须要进行一番查询拜访,因为凡是声称见到过美洲狮的人们所描述的情形竟是出奇地类似.

搜寻美洲狮的工作是从一座小村庄开端的.那边的一位妇女在采摘黑莓时看见“一只大猫”,离她仅5码远,她刚看见它,它就连忙逃脱了.专家证实,美洲狮除非被逼得走投无路,是决不会伤人的.事实上搜寻工作很艰苦,因为经常是凌晨在甲地发明那只美洲狮,晚上却在20英里外的乙地发明它的踪影.无论它走到哪儿,一路上总会留下一串逝世鹿以及逝世兔子之类的小动物.在很多地方看见了爪印,灌木丛中也发清晰明了粘在上面的美洲狮毛.有人抱怨说夜里听见了“像猫一样的啼声”;一位商人去垂纶,看见那只美洲狮在树上.专家们如今已经完全肯定那只动物就是美洲狮,但它是从哪儿来的呢？

因为全国动物园没有一家陈述丢了美洲狮,是以那只美洲狮必定是某位私家珍藏家喂养的,不知怎么设法逃出来了.搜寻工作进行了好几个礼拜,但始终未能逮住那只美洲狮.想到在安静的村庄里有一头安全的野兽中断逍遥流窜,真令人放心.
