1. I cannot bear to see a bear bear down upon a hare. When bare of hair he strips the hare, Right there I cry, "Forbear! "" 我实在不忍心看着大熊一步一步向野兔逼近。当大熊差不多将野兔所有的毛发拔掉,我大叫:「自制啊!」
2. Bear hunters used as much gunpowder as possible. They wanted to kill the bear instantly, before it could kill them. They were "loaded for bear". 猎熊的人尽量多装火药。他们想一下子把熊打死,要不熊就有可能杀死猎人。于是他们“装好了打熊的弹药”。
3. It pecked bear's eye bravely, but bear stroke down it by a slap. The bear went on enjoy his honey, and pay no attention to the pity bird anymore. 小鸟很勇敢地冲下去,啄熊的眼睛,可是熊一巴掌就把它打翻在地,不再理会这只不知道哪儿飞来的小鸟。
