He was trimming the tecoma-the way a Japanese gardener trims your tecoma.

他正在修剪 tecoma——日本园丁修剪你的 tecoma 的方式。

Outside in the tecoma a bird was gassing around, talking to himself in low chirps, with an occasional brief flutter of wings.

在外面的 tecoma 里， 一只鸟正在四处张望， 低声自言自语， 偶尔会短暂地拍打翅膀。

He was looking a little sideways when he said this, towards the window over the sink and the tecoma bush that fretted against the screen.

他说这话的时候有点侧过头，看向水槽上方的窗户和在屏风上磨蹭的特科马灌木丛。
