在非洲,我有时能意外遇见一些鬣蜥,它们坐在河床的平石上晒太阳。我不能想象出还有什么东西能比它们的肤色更漂亮。它们在阳光照耀下闪闪发光,既像一堆宝石,又像从一个古老的教堂取下的窗玻璃。当你走近时,它们嗖地跑开,并有一种炫目的、绿紫色的光在石头上一闪。这种光彩就像明亮的彗尾一样留在后面的空中。 In Africa, I occasionally meet some iguanas by accident, sitting in the sun on the flat rock in the riverbed. I can not imagine what else is more beautiful than their skin color. They gleamed in the sunshine, both like a pile of precious stones and like the windowpanes removed from an ancient church. As you approached, they ran away and there was a dazzling, greenish-purple light flashing over the rocks. This luster is like the bright comet left behind in the air.
