【英音模仿秀】冬去春来

模仿文本： 

The name chaffinch refers to its habit of flocking in stubble fields, often in the company of other birds to sort through the chaff¹ for seeds.In less tidy times when spilled grain was a regular feature in farmyards and stubble was retained for longer, these winter flocks were widespread.

苍头燕雀得名于它们的一个习惯。它们喜欢聚集在留茬地里，和其他鸟类一块找寻谷壳中的种子。有时人们收拾得不细心，溢洒的谷物农场里俯拾即是，一段时间内残茬也无人打理，这些冬候鸟会十分普遍。

 

1 chaff   

v.取笑，嘲笑；n.谷壳

参考例句：

• I didn't mind their chaff.我不在乎他们的玩笑。
• Old birds are not caught with chaff.谷糠难诱老雀。
