Upon the roof of the pig-stye sat Dr. Maggotty and three jackdaws.

在猪圈的屋顶上坐着麦格提医生和三只寒鸦。

They say the jackdaws, a type of crow, are an integral part of the site's history and it's cruel to stop them nesting there.

他们表示，寒鸦（乌鸦的一种）是该遗址历史中不可或缺的一部分，阻止它们在那里筑巢是残忍的做法。

Her friends repeated the pleasing phrase enthusiastically, and for several minutes she stood, like a jackdaw in the fable, enjoying her borrowed plumes, while the rest chattered like a party of magpies.

朋友们热忱地一再重复这令人高兴的词。她足足有好几分钟站着，像寓言里的小寒鸦，以它借来的羽毛而自鸣得意，而其余的人则像一群叽叽喳喳的喜鹊交谈着。
