for his great leaps had made his breath short, and he panted 3 like a big dog that has been running too long. 因为来回几次的跳跃,使得它气喘吁吁,像一只跑了好久好久的大狗。
They found the forest very thick on this side, and it looked dark and gloomy 4. 他们看着这一边的森林十分茂密,望进去阴森而且黑暗。

To add to their discomfort 6, they soon heard strange noises in the depths of the forest, 没过多久当他们走到树林深处时,听到有一种奇怪的声音,加深了他们的恐惧。
and the Lion whispered to them that it was in this part of the country that the Kalidahs lived. 狮子悄悄地对他们说,这部分的国土是由开力大住的地方。
" What are the Kalidahs?" asked the girl. “开力大是谁?”小女孩子问。
"They are monstrous 7 beasts with bodies like bears and heads like tigers," replied the Lion, " 狮子回答说:“它们是一种奇异的怪兽,身体像熊,头像老虎,
