請教:埃塞克斯郡和多塞特郡的野兔發現了兔
Hares in Essex and Dorset found with rabbit virus
張:看不出別的意思
鍾:rabbit 和 hare 的翻譯好嗎? Alice 的兔子洞為何不是野兔洞?守株待兔 待的是rabbit 還是HARE?
張:喔,RABBIT一般是白兔,HARE一般譯為野兔。
在愛麗絲故事,兩種兔都出現了。順便了解了一下
1. Hares are bigger than rabbits.
hare體型比rabbit大
2. Hares are also born with a full coat of hair, while rabbits are born hairless and blind.
hare出生時毛又多又長,但rabbit出生時無毛且視力為盲。
3. A young hare is called a leveret, while a young rabbit is called (no joke) a bunny!
年輕的hare稱為leveret,而年輕的rabbit稱為bunny
4. Rabbits live underground in burrows, while hares like to hide amidst plants.
rabbit喜歡居住於地底,而hare則居住於植物(草叢)間。
5. Rabbits prefer to live in groups, while hares are more solitary.
rabbits喜歡群居﹐而hare喜歡獨來獨往
兔科共約包含十一屬四十五種兔,但最常見的有家兔屬(Oryctolgus)、棉尾兔屬(Syluilagus)、野兔屬(Lepus)等三屬。其中家兔屬、棉尾兔屬的兔子英文稱rabbit ,野兔屬的兔子英文稱hare。而兔子又分家兔和野兔兩種,其中只有家兔會挖洞,野兔則在草地上活動 。

鍾:"Since the 1960s, Wivenhoe Park has been home to the Colchester Campus of the University of Essex.The park is also host to a very large colony of rabbits."
前幾天與Essex校友錄一回憶錄,他強調一大早,兔子會圍成一大圈,不知其意義。該校園的rabbits 似非白色.....***
jackrabbit翻譯:傑克兔(北美產的大野兔)。
