This brave fox wandered up on our porch. He's half cat, half dog, and all cute.

When the fox first came for a visit we instantly named it "Freddy the Fox."

But after we got to know it we found out Freddy is actually Frederica.

But after we got to know it we found out Freddy is actually Frederica(Freddy 是个男孩的名字,而Frederica是个女孩名字,作者后来才知道这只狐狸是个小姑娘)

He just walked up the stairs and crawled through this gate. Brave little guy.

I opened the gate and then he was even more brave. Obviously looking for handouts

Obviously looking for food (which we didn't give him).

Someone must feed him because he's amazingly friendly.

(作者真残忍,明知道小家伙是来找食物的,也不给她,但是同时也指出可能别人会给,因为小家伙太友好了)

Looks mean - actually he was still waking up.(还没有睡醒呢)

I guess we have a friend. Freddy as we've started calling him (although we don't know if he's a he or a she),

came back this morning. (小Freddy在一天早上又出现了,或许我们能成为朋友吧)

Tatiana and I had been sitting on the porch and on the way back in the house I spotted the little guy sleeping near our shed.

This was the first photo I got of him, looking down from the porch. (作者和她的朋友坐在门廊上,作者发现小家伙睡在附近,就亲自给她来了张俯拍)

I was lucky and had my telephoto lens (200mm) on the camera when he came for a visit. He's sporting his winter look.

(作者有幸用手机在近距离给小家伙来了张特写,小家伙似乎已经换上冬装了)

He's back! We were just talking about him last week too. He's definitely gained some weight and fuzziness.(小家伙变的健康和漂亮了)

Tatiana snapped this shot of Freddy when I was in New York.

Should we be concerned that this guy is getting too tame?

He's starting to feel like a pet the way he hangs out on our porch.

We found him sunbathing on the porch this morning.

(我们应该为小家伙的温顺而奇怪吗?她在门廊逗留的时候简直就像我的宠物,清早,小家伙在享受阳光)

The brave little fox was checking out my camera.

I held out the camera and snapped it as the fox sniffed the lens. Lucky shot.

One storey about a small fox

He squeezes between the wood in the gate when he comes up on the porch.

When he gets spooked he dives back through the gate with amazing agility.

We're in the big process of stripping and refinishing the deck. (开始重修翻修门廊的地板了)

We thought we wouldn't see Freddy for a while with all of the power tools around.

(为此可能有一段时间看不到小家伙了)

But he came for a visit anyways. (可是她还是来了)

The stripped wood in the foreground adds an interesting texture

(用翻修的木条作为前景,一幅多有趣的照片啊)

strip-剥夺/条状物 refinish-修补/翻新 foreground-前景

One storey about a small fox

I guess the fox approves of the newly stained deck. I've never seen the fox sleep on the porch before.

I used to have a dog that would hang out on the porch.

Perhaps the stain helped get rid of the smell of the dog and the fox now feels more comfortable?

(小家伙在新漆的板上睡觉了,这是从来没有过的,也许以前的板粘上了狗的气味使小家伙感到不舒服吧)

approves-赞成/接受 stain-沾染

Olga asked on the way home from the airport ,"Does the fox still come around?"

(在从机场回家的路上,Olga还问,小家伙还在吗?)

I hadn't seen the fox for weeks but wouldn't you know it, the fox greeted Olga on her first night home.

(我好几个星期没有看到小家伙了,但是又怎么能想到,在Olga到家的那个晚上,小家伙会来迎接她?)
