外婆家花瓶里的小青蛙奇观

今天中午,妈妈带着我前往外婆家享用午餐。一踏入外婆家的门槛,我的目光便被一个空置的花瓶吸引了。瓶中盛着一些浑浊的水,里面似乎藏着什么神秘的东西。This noon, my mother took me to grandma’s house for lunch. As soon as I walked into Grandma’s house, my eyes were drawn to an empty vase filled with murky water, containing something mysterious inside.

我好奇地走近一探究竟,只见瓶中有一个圆滚滚的物体,宛如一颗鹅卵石。经过仔细观察,我才意识到那是一只小青蛙。这只青蛙身着绿黑相间的斑纹衣裳,两只眼睛圆鼓鼓的,像是脸上长出了几颗可爱的小痘痘,而它那圆胖的白色肚子则像极了爷爷的腹部。Its front legs have four toes each, while its back legs possess five, with one particularly long toe that adds to its quirky charm. A faint line runs down the center of its body, as if it were about to be split in two.

我轻轻将花瓶斜放,小青蛙立刻开始不安地挣扎,仿佛急于逃离这个陌生的环境,去与同伴们嬉戏。Its mouth rhythmically expands and contracts, as if it were trying to blow up a balloon. This adorable display of movement only deepened my fascination with the little creature.

妈妈耐心地向我解释,原来青蛙是近视动物,对静止的物体视而不见,却能敏锐地察觉到任何微小的动静。外公特意为它捕捉了一只活生生的蚊子,只见小青蛙一口将其吞下,动作干净利落。Mom shared an interesting fact with me—frogs are nearsighted and can’t see stationary objects, but they have excellent vision for detecting movement. To demonstrate, Grandpa caught a live mosquito for the frog, which promptly swallowed it whole with remarkable agility.

看着这只活泼的小生命,我心中充满了怜爱。小青蛙,我这就把你放回田野,好吗?Letting out a soft sigh of affection, I gently picked up the little frog. “Little frog,” I whispered, “I’ll take you back to the field, OK?”
