This animal would be large, at least as large

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

having several stomachs.

有着好几个胃。

No one could follow it

没有人能够跟踪它到密密的树丛中，

into the dense brush to witness

目睹它的交配行为。因为被绒毛覆盖，

its mating habits. Hidden by fur,

很难判断它的性征。它当然也不会愿意

its sex would be hard to determine.

被人看个仔细。但只要你不挑逗它，

Definitely it would discourage

它会是一头和蔼可亲的动物，

investigation. But it would be, if not teased,

像山雀一样不躲着人。它的智力

a kind, amiable animal,

应当属于高阶，

confiding as a chickadee. Its intelligence

但非人非兽，有点像精灵。

would be of a high order,

它会像猫一样呼噜，当然喽，

neither human nor animal, elvish.

既然它是个房子，你会趴在它们膝头，

And it would purr, though of course,

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

not it in yours.
