螺蛳 snail
spiral shell
margarya melanoide
- 你知道那些被叫做’螺蛳’的动物吧,它们晚上会迷失方向,离开小溪。
You know those snails they call 'spiral lions, ' and how they wander away from the stream at night. - 有时候他穷得没钱买东西吃,于是就沿着河整里整里地扫螺蛳,才能忘记饥饿。
Sometimes when he was too poor to buy anything to eat, he would sweep the stream for miles to keep his mind off his hunger. - 有歌曰:“夏饼江鱼乌饭糕,酸梅蚕豆与樱桃,腊肉烧鹅成鸭蛋,螺蛳苋莱酒酿糟。”
The song said: "Summer cakes-river fish-black rice, acid plums-horse bean-cherry, preserved ham-roasted goose-duck eggs, spiral shell-amaranth-potable."
