Language Points
1. They just knock around — for the whole morning!
(1) knock around意为“悠闲地度过",常指在没有明确目标或计划的情况下闲逛、消磨时光。
E.g.Last Sunday, Jack knocked around the town with his friends.
它们就这样闲逛——逛了整整一上午!
(2) 句中破折号用于对前面的句子They just knock around进行补充说明,增强强调的意味,表示耗费了大量时间。
2.They leave droppings here and there.
here and there意为“到处,各处"。
E.g.There are flowers here and there in the city.
He left books here and there in the room.
到处都是它们的粪便。
had better意为“最好"(had可缩略为’d,与前一个单词连写), 用于提出建议。注意: had better后面一般跟动词原形。
3. I’d better go and watch them again...
我最好再去观察一下它们……
E.g.You’d better go now if you want to take the bus.
I’d better go and get ready.
be wrong about...意为“搞错……"。
也许我之前对鸽子的认识是错误的。
4.Maybe I was wrong about pigeons.
E.g. I think I’m wrong about this situation.
I was wrong about the new worker. He’s not from
Germany.
