（单词翻译）

 The scales, soft as velvet1 to the touch and carefully laid one upon the other, form a roof that protects the eggs. 鳞片摸起来像天鹅绒一样柔软，小心翼翼地把一个鳞片放在另一个鳞片上，形成了一个屋顶来保护蛋。

Not a drop of rain or dew can get underneath2 it. 没有一滴雨水或露珠能钻到它下面。
Where did this soft covering come from? From the mother moth3; she has stripped a part of her body for her children. 这种柔软的覆盖物是从哪里来的？从母蛾处；她为孩子们剥去了一部分身体。
Like the eider duck, she has made a warm overcoat for her eggs out of her own soft down. 像绒鸭一样，她用自己的软毛为卵做了一件暖和的大衣。
If one removes the scaly4 fleece with pincers, the eggs appear, looking like little white, shiny beads5. 如果你用钳子去除掉有鳞的绒毛，蛋就会出现，看起来像白色的闪亮小珠子。
There are about three hundred of them in one cylinder6. 一个圆筒里大约有300个。
Quite a family for one mother! 对一个母亲来说，这真是一个大家庭！
They are beautifully placed, and remind one of a tiny ear of Indian corn. 它们摆放得很漂亮，让人想起印第安玉米的小穗。
Nobody, young or old, could help exclaiming, on seeing the pine moth’s pretty little spike7 of eggs, “How handsome!” 不管是年轻人还是老年人，看到松毛虫漂亮的小蛋钉，都忍不住惊叫道:“多么漂亮啊!”
