A strange creature, half man and half goat, 一个半人半羊的奇怪生物，

found him and kindly offered him a bed. 发现了他，并好心地收留他留宿。

As they walked, the man kept blowing on his fingers. 走在路上时，那个男人一直对着手指哈气。

"Why are you doing that?" “你为什么要这么做？”

My breath warms them up." 哈口气能把手暖一暖。”

"Interesting," said the creature. “有意思，”那个生物说。

At home, he gave his guest a bowl of hot soup. 到了家，他给客人端来了一碗热汤。

The man lifted the spoon and blew on it. 男人端起勺子吹了吹气。

and the opposite at night. 晚上又说另一套的人，我们大多数人其实也都是这种感觉。
