이번에는 동물들의 각각의 행동에 대한 표현을 정리해볼까 합니다.
다음 글(물고기 예찬)을 한번 읽어보세요.
In Praise of Fish
Cats purr
As they lick their fur;
Horses neigh,
Donkeys bray;
Hounds bay
At the bloody ground
Horrible sound,
Barking hounds.
Snapping and yapping,
Tails wagging.
Lions roar
If they hurt their paw.
Hawks squawk
If they hurt their claw.
But fish don't talk,
Thank the Lord.
Mice squeak,
Sheep bleat-
So do goats;
A frog croaks.
Most birds cheep,
Some screech,
But fish can't speak,
Thank Heavens.
Unlike fish,
Snakes hiss,
And like it or lump it,
Elephants trumpet.
Pigs grunt,
Flies hum,
But fish are dumb,
Thank God.
Wolves howl,
Dogs will growl
With a vicious snarl
If you steal their meal.
Piglets squeal
So you know they feel
While their mothers snort
As they're brought to the slaughterhouse.
Fish don't buzz,
As a queen bee does.
Ducklings quack,
And bulldogs snap
At the postman's boots.
Owls hoot,
But a fish is mute,
Thank Goodness.
물고기가 소리를 내지 않아서 참 다행이고,고맙다는 내용이지요.
각각의 동물들이 내는 소리를 동사나 형용사로 잘 표현한 글입니다.
재미로 한번 읽어보세요. 마치 동물들이 소리내는 것처럼 흉내내서..
해석은 곧 올릴께요. 쫌만 기다리시길...
