中文故事

巴纳比这位喜欢打拍子(beat)的獾,喜欢吞食(consume)小小的、冻住的浆果。在一个冰川时期(glacial)的早晨,他发现了一颗完美的、圆形的浆果。除此之外(besides),他还决定不吃平常的虫子早餐,而是研究一下这颗浆果。在显微镜(microscope)下,他不仅看到了冰,还看到了微小晶体的紊乱(disorder)。他甚至觉得自己看到了一抹微小的脊柱(spinet)般的光芒。‘太神奇了!’他心想,‘即使是最小的东西也蕴含着宏伟的设计。’

英语故事

Barnaby the beatnik badger loved to consume tiny, frozen berries. One glacial morning, he found a perfect, round one. He besides his usual breakfast of worms, decided to study it. Under his microscope, he saw not just ice, but a disorder of tiny crystals. He even thought he saw a miniature spinet of light. 'Amazing!' he thought, 'even the smallest things hold grand designs.'
