Regarding Eskimo-Aleut and Husky

Eskimo-Aleut is a language family native to Alaska, parts of the Arctic regions and Siberia.

The stem meaning of the word "Eskimo" is said to be "eaters of raw meats".
The Eskimo language is divided into two branches, the "Inuit"(因紐特) languages and the "Yup'ik"(尤皮克) languages.
The Aleut(阿留申) language is spoken in the Aleutian Islands and the Pribilof Islands.

The Inuit(Plural) people, or a Inuk(Singular) person, form a group of culturally similar indigenous peoples inhabiting the Arctic regions of Greenland, Canada and Alaska.

Yup'ik people are a group of indigenous or aboriginal peoples of western, southwestern, and south-central Alaska and the Russian Far East. 

The Iñupiat (or Inupiaq) are an Alaskan Native people, whose traditional territory spans Norton Sound on the Bering Sea to the Canada–United States border. They also speak the Inuit language.

"Husky" was used to mean "Dog" in the Inuit language. In modern English, "Husky" is defined as sled-type dog used in northern regions. "Husky" is generally separated into two major types by its birthplace: Siberia and Alaska.

Siberian Husky(哈士奇) is a middle-size, usually docile but playful species.
"Alaskan Husky", or Alaskan Malamute(馬拉穆), is a large-size, heavy fur species.

臘腸狗與虎紋龍 - 潤色版

這一天,是風和日麗、萬里青天的好日子。

臘腸狗一家的獨生子「軒軒」快快樂樂地去出門玩——軒軒有純棕色的長長的身體;雖然他的四肢短幼,但他非常活潑好動——軒軒可很愛玩耍呢。

軒軒兩腿的雙掌踏着乾泥路;他看看白卷雲;他聽聽鳥鳴;他嗅嗅三葉草

他就這樣子,玩了一個小時多,離家越來越遠,到達一個不知名的公園的入口。

軒軒走到n字型的鋼欄旁,看到他右邊的木椅上坐着一隻他從沒見過的人物。 那位人物......她全身 淡紫色的,可又佈滿一些深灰色的橫紋;還有...還有像鱷魚一般的鱗片,但垂着的頭上長着像是鹿的角,身後長着短幼的尾巴。那位人物的身上,散發着未知及奇妙的氛圍。

軒軒天不怕地不怕,他懷着好奇心,奔跑到那位紫色人物的面前。

這一下軒軒可看清楚了:那是一頭龍。

他驚訝地睜大著眼睛;他父母曾經說過,一生之中,都幾乎不可能遇見龍的。

那頭灰紋紫龍並沒有動;她就死死地、直直地看着公園裡的石地;她滿臉哀愁。

軒軒是位單純的小孩;他嘗試去逗紫龍笑:他在她面前追自己的尾巴。他搔紫龍的癢。他講了一個笑話。

正當軒軒感到疲累時,一道黑影遮蓋了軒軒和紫龍。

兩位幾乎都同時抬起頭,看到了一頭龐然大物佈滿純白直紋的翡翠龍。

軒軒和紫龍對綠龍的出現都藏不住驚訝。下一秒,綠龍對紫龍緩慢地伸出了爪子爪背朝下,爪尖向着紫龍。

過了半響,紫龍露出了微笑。她抓住綠龍的爪子,快速地從木椅上站了起來,展開穿了洞的翅膀,兩龍便捲起了一陣風,飛走了。軒軒被這道風吹離地面,拋進附近的噴水池裡毫無髪傷。

軒軒爬出噴水池,撥開沾着水滴的毛髪——他轉過身,目睹一紫一綠二龍飛往泛橙的太陽去,越變越小,彷彿要飛進太陽的圓心裡去。

軒軒開心地笑著,嗅著自己早前留下來的氣味,回到家裡去了。

寓言 - 紫身灰紋龍

更新於4月14日

在空無一人的公園中,一頭龍以古代龍語孤鳴:「到底這樣的日子還要過多久...」滂沱大雨溫柔地拍打着地上的一切一切;雨水所敲奏出的喜悅旋律,很快就將牠的低語淹蓋過去了。

雨水早已沾濕了牠久坐著的半圓石頭;牠那左短右長的雙角;牠那魁悟而淡紫中帶着深灰色橫紋的龍體;牠那健壯的四肢......還有它以魔法隱藏了的破爛翅膀。然而,紫身灰紋龍亞瑪氟鉰抬着頭望著天,根本感受不到體外的低溫和潮濕,即使雨水剛好掉落到牠的眼球,也自然地隨著牠的臉頰流掉。

牠的靈魂有百分之八十一擁抱著輕飄飄的絕望;有百分之十七死命地拉扯著沉重的希望。她的眼球掃射著黑沉沉的天空。牠渴望著照射在身上的光明和溫暖;牠注視著天空有否出現一道翠綠色的輝閃;牠期盼著牠生命中那唯一的主宰的教贖。

可是,牠的希望卻一直、一直落空。雨水還是下個不停,雲層穩定地向著赤道行進。只有一對狗隻夫婦撐著紅底藍點的大雨傘漫步經過。丈夫嘻嘻哈哈,深深地嗅著他手中的晚餐材料,妻子滿臉幸福地靠着那一隻同時㩗著購物袋和穩妥地抓著傘柄的毛毛手臂。亞瑪氟鉰情不自禁地將視線從天空轉向這一對美滿的家庭,身不由己地心臟抽緊著,直至兩隻——叫甚麼品種的犬隻?——在公園的叢籬後失去了踪影。亞瑪氟鉰再次堅定地瞧著上天,回到那寂寞的深淵裡去了。

雨水固執地降下著、時間無情地流逝著;太陽在雲後劃過當天最後的弧線,消失於地平線之後。殘缺的月亮也從西邊的山岥冒出來,照亮著雲層的背面。亞瑪氟鉰的肚子低低地抱怨道:你已經好幾天沒好好吃東西了。可是牠不理,只是從兩個鼻孔噴出了淡橙色的火焰,沉重地吸著濕冷的空氣:今天也是沒有發生甚麼事;再等下去也只是磨削自己的力量和生命。

牠軟弱地站了起來、展開翅膀,飛回自己的古木老窩去。牠以絕望的聲線安慰著自己:「殘忍的今天也將會結束...明天、明天,便會等到的祂的...」這話音尤如安眠曲似的,讓牠緩慢地進入夢鄉。

牠在夢中夢見一隻黃衣白褲的棕色犬仔。他呀,看上去有點像今天那對夫婦。那隻小狗追自己那條短幼的尾巴。他搔牠的腰部。他說了一個一點也不好笑的笑話。夢中的亞瑪氟鉰很困惑,但並無不快的感覺。

第二天,亞瑪氟鉰醒來,漠然地望著萬里青天在西方懸浮著的太陽。溫柔的風滑過牠的臉頰。牠搖了搖頭,靈魂拉扯著百分之十四的希望,再次飛往昨天的公園去了。
