I have been watching the Crimson Wing by Disney Nature. It's so fascinating. Some words showing at the beginning of the documentary, gives me a nice small drill of translating from English into Chinese.
火烈鸟的拉丁文名字是 Phoenicopterus,其涵义是:“深红色的翅膀”。
传说中有一种长着深红色翅膀的凤凰, 有着幻化和重生的能力,火烈鸟就是由其灵气所催生。在生命的尽头,凤凰会焚身于火,然后在灰烬中重生。
