He kept close to him by day and slept touching him at night in the rude thorn boma they constructed as a slight protection against prowling carnivora.

他白天靠近他，晚上睡在他们建造的粗糙的荆棘丛中，作为对四处游荡的食肉动物的轻微保护。

But the thing that baffled them all was her instant consciousness of the presence of carnivora that others, exerting their faculties to the utmost, could neither see nor hear.

但让他们大惑不解的是， 她立刻意识到食肉动物的存在， 而其他人尽其所能， 却既看不到也听不到。

She feared the gloomy jungle too-the cruel jungle that surrounded the little village with chattering monkeys and screaming birds by day and the roaring and coughing and moaning of the carnivora by night.

她也害怕阴暗的丛林——残酷的丛林环绕着小村庄，白天有叽叽喳喳的猴子和尖叫的鸟儿，晚上则是食肉动物的咆哮、咳嗽和呻吟。

Of late there had been no evidence of carnivora in the neighborhood of this drinking place; but Meriem was positive that the bleating of the kid was due to the presence of either lion or panther.

最近在这个饮酒场所附近没有发现食肉动物的迹象。但梅里姆确信这只山羊的叫声是由于狮子或黑豹的存在。
