昆虫与我们相伴（中英）

昆虫与我们相伴

夏天你睡觉，耳边突然嗡嗡响，你下意识用手一拍，它跑了，或把它打死了。原来，是个蚊子。早晨醒来一睁眼，窗户上爬着个东西。啊，一只小蛾子。

你在树下走，一个东西掉脖子上了。真讨厌，一个毛毛虫！

到了乡下，少不了牛羊的粪便。围绕着粪便，飞舞盘旋着一些小东西——苍蝇。

这些，都是昆虫。有植物的地方，有动物的地方，有人的地方，一般都少不了它们。

昆虫与我们相伴！

Insects Are Always With Us

In summer, when you're sleeping, a sudden buzzing by your ear makes you instinctively slap at it. It either escapes, or you get it. Turns out, it was just a mosquito. Then, when you open your eyes in the morning, there's something crawling on the windowpane. Ah, a little moth.

Walking under a tree, something drops right onto your neck. So annoying—a caterpillar!

Out in the countryside, you can't avoid cow and sheep dung. Hovering and circling around it are these little creatures—flies.

All of these are insects. Wherever there are plants, animals, or humans, you'll almost always find them around.

Insects are always with us!


* “你下意识用手一拍，它跑了，或把它打死了”：这里我用了 instinctively slap at it. It either escapes, or you get it. 这样处理既保留了动作的连贯性，又非常符合英语母语者的口语习惯。get it:抓住、打中、击中。

* “真讨厌”：翻译成了 So annoying，非常贴合那种走在树下突然被虫子砸到脖子时的烦躁心情。

* 标题和结尾：用了 Always With Us 而不是单纯的 Accompany us，更能传达出那种“无处不在、如影随形”的陪伴感。
