The oak-buds were opening soft and brown.

山毛榉的褐色牙儿， 温柔地开展着。

Even the snaggy craggy oak-trees put out the softest young leaves, spreading thin, brown little wings like young bat-wings in the light.

甚至倔强嶙峋的橡树， 也发着最柔媚的嫩叶， 伸展着纤纤的褐色的小枝翅， 好象是些向阳的蝙蝠的翅翼。

Then all the live coops were occupied by hens, three brown and a grey and a black. All alike, they clustered themselves down on the eggs in the soft nestling ponderosity of the female urge, the female nature, fluffing out their feathers.

不久， 五个笼子都有了母鸡， 三只是棕色的， 一只是灰色的， 还有一只是黑色的， 五只母鸡都同样是在它们母性的重大而温柔的抚养职务中， 在母性的天性中， 筵松着毛羽， 紧伏在卵上。

The sudden influx of Chinese and Indian technologies represents the “browning” of African technology, which has long been the domain of “white” Americans and Europeans who want to apply their saving hand to African problems.

中国和印度技术突然的涌入代表了非洲技术的“黄种化”。而这里原本是由“白种”的美国人和欧洲人占领的，他们试图为非洲的问题伸出援助之手。
