'Joke! ' said Nqong from his bath in the blue gums.

'玩笑！ ' Nqong 在蓝色牙龈中沐浴后说道。

He ran through the desert; he ran through the mountains; he ran through the salt-pans; he ran through the reed-beds; he ran through the blue gums; he ran through the spinifex; he ran till his front legs ached.

他跑过沙漠；他跑过群山；他穿过盐田；他跑过芦苇丛；他穿过蓝色的牙龈；他跑过纺车；他一直跑到前腿疼为止。
