爷爷的礼物在这周快要过完的时候到了,虽然我们早早地盼着快点儿到。礼物装在一个透气的柳条箱里面。我们聚在前廊看着哈里撬开箱子。里面是一个装着鹦鹉的笼子。它可不是随便什么鹦鹉。它是体形巨大、闻名遐迩的亚马逊鹦鹉,从羽冠到尾羽足足有一米长,胸部金光闪闪,后背是天蓝色的,翅膀是让人颤抖的深红色。我们敬畏地盯着它看。爷爷从奥斯汀的报纸上读到有关它的事情,然后在一次资产出售会上买了它,这只鹦鹉比它的前主人更长寿。它是我们见过最美的动物,它轻易就抓住了每个人的注意力。 My grandfather’s gift arrived by the end of the week, although we were looking forward to hurry up early. The gift is packed in a breathable wicker box. We gathered at the front porch and watched Harry pry the box. Inside is a cage filled with parrots. It is not just any parrot. It is a huge, well-known Amazon parrot, from the crown to the tail feather a meter long full, bust bosom, the back is sky blue, the wings are trembling people deep red. We stared at it in awe. Grandpa read about it from Austin’s newspaper and bought it at an asset sale, the parrot longer than its predecessor. It is the most beautiful animal we’ve ever seen, and it easily captures everyone’s attention.
