The chamois has the greatest affection for her young; and when the yare in danger,
巖羚羊?qū)τ揍檀葠塾屑樱?dāng)它們陷入危險(xiǎn)時(shí)，
she shows wonderful sagacity in planning means for their escape.
它總能以非凡的聰慧和睿智的謀略，成功地逃離險(xiǎn)境。
A Swiss hunter, while pursuing his dangerous sport observed a mother chamois and her two kids on a rock above him.
一位瑞士獵人，在追逐獵物的過程中，注意到在他正上方的巖石上，有母羚羊和它的兩個(gè)孩子。
They were sporting by her side, leaping here and there around her.
兩個(gè)幼崽在她身邊嬉戲玩耍，不時(shí)圍繞著它四處奔跑跳躍。
The hunter, climbing the rock, drew near, intending, if possible, to capture one of the kids alive.
獵人爬上巖石，慢慢靠近它們，心里盤算著，如果可能的話，要活捉一只小羚羊。
No sooner did the mother chamois observe him, than, dashing at him furiously with her horns, she endeavoured to hurl him down the cliff.
母羚羊一看到獵人，就頂著犄角向他猛沖過來，試圖把他頂下懸崖。
The hunter drove her off, fearing to fire, lest the young ones should take to flight.
獵人把母羚羊趕開，唯恐開槍把小羚羊嚇得逃走。
He was aware that there was a deep chasm beyond, by which he believed the escape of the animals to be cut off.
獵人很清楚，巖壁遠(yuǎn)處有一個(gè)很深的鴻溝，他相信那里可以切斷動(dòng)物們的逃生之路。
What was his surprise, therefore, when he saw the old chamois form with her body a bridge across the chasm,
然而，他看到的一幕讓他驚訝萬分，母羚羊盡力伸展四肢，
which she could just span by stretching out her fore and hind legs!
用前肢和后肢搭建成橫跨鴻溝的一座身體之橋！
As soon as she had done this, she called on her young ones;
當(dāng)這橋一搭成，母羚羊就招呼小羚羊們，
and they sprang one at a time on her back, and reached the other side in safety!
它們逐一從母羚羊的背上一躍而過，安全地抵達(dá)了懸崖的另一邊！
She sprang across after them, and was soon beyond reach of the hunter's bullets.
隨后母羚羊也猛地一竄，越過鴻溝，很快就跑到獵人子彈射程之外的安全距離。
