《逗鸟外传》精讲 01白鹤送子

For as long as can be remembered, storks² delivered babies from their perch³ on Stork¹ Mountain. It was an honor and a privilege to serve. It was our duty, our core belief, the driving force of our very lifeblood. It wasn't always easy. This was our challenge. This was our sacred duty.No matter how tough or impossible or brutal⁴ or harsh or inhumane or savage⁵, we would triumph over adversity.

好久好久以前，白鹤宝宝们的使命就是递送宝宝在鹳山上的栖枝里 这是一件很荣耀又自豪的事情 这是我们的责任，我们的核心信仰 延续我们命脉的驱使力量 这并不总是那么容易 这是我们的挑战 这是我们神圣的使命 无论多么艰难或不可能 无论多么地残酷，野蛮，惨无人道，凶狠 我们都会从逆境中获得慰藉

Gotcha!
