As there seemed to be no chance of getting her hands up to her head, she tried to get her head down to them, and was delighted to find that her neck would bend about easily in any direction, like a serpent.

看起来， 她的手没法举到头上来了， 于是， 她就试着把头弯下去凑近手。 她高兴地发现自己的脖子像蛇一样， 可以随便地往上下左右扭转。

There's the devilish cunning of it! If he were acting through a human agent we could get some evidence, but if we were to drag this great dog to the light of day it would not help us in putting a rope round the neck of its master.”

这里边有魔鬼一样的狡猾手段，如果他是通过一个人来进行活动，咱们还可以找到些证据，可是如果咱们在光天化日之下拉出这条大狗来，对于咱们想把绳子套在它主人脖子上的计划是毫无帮助的。”

The man lay flat on his stomach on the floor, his neck pressed back, wriggling under the engine and poking with his finger.

那人俯卧在地上， 头向后倾， 在车下蠕动着， 摸索着。

But now Connie was thin and earthy-looking, with a scraggy, yellowish neck, that stuck out of her jumper.

但是现在呢， 康， 妮瘦了， 颜容惨淡， 她的颈项从胸衣上挺出来， 又瘦又带点黄色。
