例句

Bright blue male splendid fairy-wrens, instead of fleeing in the face of danger, sing a distinctive song when a butcherbird is in the area.

當伯勞鳥出現時，亮藍色的雄性壯麗細尾鷯鶯面對危險不會逃離，而是發出一種特有的鳴叫。

But Greig says that the wrens might not be in any real danger; when the butcherbird is singing it's probably not interested in hunting.

但格雷格說鷯鶯也許并不是真的處于危險中，伯勞鳥鳴叫的時候可能正無心打獵。
