这个人会是一只动物。

This person would be an animal.

它会是一只大动物，至少

This animal would be large, at least as large

要像一只卖力气的马一样大。它会反刍，就像母牛，

as a workhorse. It would chew cud, like cows,

有着好几个胃。

having several stomachs.

没有人能够跟踪它到密密的树丛中，

No one could follow it

目睹它的交配行为。因为被绒毛覆盖，

into the dense brush to witness

很难判断它的性征。它当然也不会愿意

its mating habits. Hidden by fur,

被人看个仔细。但只要你不挑逗它，

its sex would be hard to determine.

它会是一头和蔼可亲的动物，

Definitely it would discourage

像山雀一样不躲着人。它的智力

investigation. But it would be, if not teased,

应当属于高阶，

a kind, amiable animal,

但非人非兽，有点像精灵。

confiding as a chickadee. Its intelligence

它会像猫一样呼噜，当然喽，

would be of a high order,

既然它是个房子，你会趴在它们膝头，

neither human nor animal, elvish.

而不是它伏在你的腿上。

And it would purr, though of course,

it being a house, you would sit in its lap,

not it in yours.
