格列佛游记 第二十六课 第三章 chapter 1_Part4

But there were no people in the first room of the house - only horses. I followed the horse into the second room, then the third room. I waited for people.

The grey horse made a sound, and a smaller horse and two young horses came. They looked at me.

'This is the horse's house,' I thought. 'The grey horse is the owner, and these are his wife and children. The servants are horses too. But how can this be true?'

The 'wife' looked at me in an unfriendly way. She turned to the grey horse and spoke to him. I heard the word Yahoo. He moved his head and said:' Hhuun, Hhuun'. So I followed him.

We went to another house, and in it there were three of those ugly, hairy animals. They could not leave because there was strong string round them. The other end of the string was in the wall.

The grey horse called a young red-brown horse (a servant), and the servant untied one of the animals. He put that ugly, hairy animal next to me !

    vt. 跟随；遵循；追求；密切注意，注视；注意；倾听

    vi. 跟随；接着

    n. 跟随；追随    

    在文中，句子为： I followed the horse into the second room. 这里根据句子理解，应该是灰色的马在前面领着我走入了第二个房间，因为我对房间并不熟悉。所以这里follow的意思是跟随。

2. young horse 小马
