Make yourself an ark with ribs of cypress;cover it with reeds and coat it inside and out with pitch. 你要為自己造一艘方舟，用絲柏木做船架，覆蓋上蘆葦，再在里外兩面涂上樹(shù)脂。
If you both creep down to the reeds and then keep still as statues, maybe the moorhen will come back with her chicks and you can see them close up. 如果你倆輕手輕腳地爬進(jìn)蘆葦叢，一動(dòng)也不動(dòng)地趴在那里，也許黑水雞會(huì )帶著(zhù)她的小雞回來(lái)的，這樣，你們就可以在離得很近的地方觀(guān)察這些小動(dòng)物了。
He let me down at the last minute and turned out to be a broken reed. 他在緊急關(guān)頭拆了我的臺，成了背信棄義的人。
