埋伏着,正等着她。她身边没有男人拿着矛来保护她。快到达目的地的时候,一阵香气扑鼻,她停下来,不往前走了。原来男人们为这次盛宴已经把肉带回了家!烤肉的香味弥漫在周围的空气中,她因为饥饿而感到眩晕。她看到母亲和大一些的孩子在火上烧烤鹿肉和猪肉。她的姨妈们在用兽皮做衣服。突然间她坐了下去,但又被她那又笑又叫的妹妹卢娜一把搂了起来。拉拉宽慰地笑了,跟家人在一起实在是太好啦。
Just then a tall man came up\s\up1(28(28) behind her. He had a large, square face, with strongly pronounced\s\up1(29(29) eyebrows\s\up1(30(30) and cheekbones\s\up1(31(31). Over his shoulder he carried several fish and some pieces of wood under his arm. Lala smiled and handed some stone scrapers over to Dahu, who smiled and went outside the cave to begin his task\s\up1(32(32).
First he looked carefully at the scrapers and then went to a corner of the cave and pulled out\s\up1(33(33) some more tools. They were in a pile with other sharp arrowheads\s\up1(34(34) and stone axeheads\s\up1(35(35). He chose one large stone and began to use it like a hammer\s\up1(36(36) striking the edge of the scraper that needed sharpening\s\up1(37(37). Now and then\s\up1(38(38) Dahu would stop, look at it and try it against his hand before continuing his task. He stopped when he felt the scrapers were sharp enough to\s\up1(39(39) cut up the meat and scrape the fish. As he passed them to Lala, the first of the guests from the neighbouring\s\up1(40(40) caves began to arrive for dinner. Lala's spirits\s\up1(41(41) rose. Yes, it was going to be just as wonderful as last year! She smiled to herself gaily\s\up1(42(42) and went out of the cave to welcome her friends and neighbours. \s\up1(28(28)come up 走近;发生;被提出;长出;发芽。句中是"走近"之意。
