其實每種文字自有其美,例如今天游先生談以前讀到Lady Bird(美國前詹森總統夫人小時的暱稱,奶媽稱這穿紅衣服小不點如小瓢蟲(lady bird /Lady bug (美國)。有首如題的英國童歌,我們進東海大學的英文視聽教學都會。)
年紀大點,問為何英國稱它為bird. 查老點的日本字典中bird,或稍近代的牛津美國字典,對 bird 定義差別大,近代航空器等,也稱為bird.( 影評人李幼新的名字已一串寵鳥名,只好簡稱為Bird)。
連字如bird-hunt ,可當動詞,用在“到國會去獵些錢”等。

Whatever comes of Scotland’s impending independence referendum, Britain owes that country a vote of thanks. For six months it has staged a festival of democracy, an Edinburgh tattoo of argument. Not a politician, not an airwave, not a town hall, not a wall, tree or road sign is free of the debate. If, as predicted, turnout tops 80%, that is a triumph in itself. Political participation is not dead when it matters.
