情景对话
(At the Sea World)
Jennifer: Look at it! It's so itsy-bitsy teenie-weenie!

Billy: What in the world is it? It's only about two centimeters long...

Jennifer: It's got wings. It looks like an angel.

Billy: What do you know! It's called a sea angel!

Jennifer: It swims by flapping its wings. Wow...it's so beautiful!
词汇注释
★ itsy-bitsy teenie-weenie 这两个字都是在形容‘非常微小’,源自于1960年Brian Hyland所主唱的Itsy-Bitsy Teenie-Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini《超级省布黄色圆点比基尼》的歌

★ centimeter (n.) 公分(长度单位)

★ flap (v.) 拍动(翅膀)
参考译文
