前面我连续发了几篇文章,探讨other、others、the other、the others、another等词的用法。今天,我试着结合最近金钱豹外逃、追捕的热点时事,写一篇小短文,把这些用法都总结一下。这也是几周前我开始写other系列文章的时候承诺过的,迂延至今,可以说是很晚的了。当然,在此之前,我们还是要先复习一下之前的几篇文章:

人外有人,天外还有天:other和others的基本意思是怎样的?- 白话英语202111

手心是肉,手背也是肉;一览无余,水至清无余:the other和the others的意义和用法 - 白话英语202115

文章如下,附本人官方的参考译文:

Several days ago, news came that three young leopards escaped from a Hangzhou zoo. Some villagers in the countryside found one, while other people spotted another. They called up the police. Search dogs were sent to track down the leopards, and soon they caught two of them. They tried to corner the other, but it escaped anyway. Some dogs were bitten, while others kept on fighting with the leopard. Maybe they needed another couple of days to bring it back to the zoo.

几天前,传来消息,说杭州一家动物园有三只未成年豹子逃逸了。乡间的一些村民发现了一只豹子,而其他也有人发现了豹子。他们打电话报了警。搜救犬被派出来追踪这几只豹子,很快它们就抓住了其中的两只。它们试图合围另外一只,但是它还是跑了。有几条狗被豹子咬了,其他的狗继续跟豹子搏斗。也许还需要几天时间,才能把豹子捉回动物园去。

Billy was one of the best dogs in the search team. He did very well in the hunt. After the escape of the third leopard, he and the other dogs were sent back to the police station for a break. He had a good rest on the way back, while the others played along.

比利是搜救团队里最优秀的狗之一。它在本次搜救行动中表现优异。在豹子逃脱后,它跟其他的狗都被送回警队休息一下。它在回去的路上好好休息了一下,其他的狗却都在嬉闹。

Billy’s pal, Beatrice, was another good hunter dog known for her acute sense of smell. She and three other dogs were the ones bitten by the fierce animal. Luckily, she was not seriously hurt, and would recover in a week or two. No other dogs were hurt during the hunt. If there were any other chance that she could get hold of the leopard, she would not hesitate to jump on it again!

比利的搭档,碧翠斯,也是一条优秀的猎犬,以极为灵敏的嗅觉而闻名。她和另外三条狗就是被凶猛的豹子咬伤的那几条狗。幸运的是,碧翠斯受伤并不重,一两个星期就能恢复。搜救行动期间没有其他狗受到伤害。如果再有其他机会,碧翠斯还是会扑上去咬住那只豹子的!

Dr. Hu, Billy and Beatrice's trainer, was pleased with the dogs' work. He is thinking of training another pair of search dogs, and now he is speaking on the phone to the police officer in charge. On the other end of the line is Mr. Huang, director of the serach. They are talking about the hunt and the missing leopard, and the training plan for more search dogs.

胡博士,比利和碧翠斯的训练员,对两条狗的表现感到满意。他在思考再训练一对搜救犬的事情,现在就在跟负责的警官打电话。电话的另一头是本次搜救的负责人黄警官。他们聊了本次搜救,聊了在逃的金钱豹,还聊了训练更多搜救犬的计划。

other这个词的用法,无疑是比较复杂的,但结合具体的情景,不难理解上面这些other、the other、another的用法。希望我这篇小短文,对大家能有所帮助。
