Initially, the farmer had posted his close encounter on a Chinese website, together with a shaggy dog story about how he had captured the alien while setting traps for rabbits. 最初,这个农民在某网站上贴出了他如何近距离接触外星人的事迹,同时还写了自己如何在设置捕兔器陷阱时抓到外星人的经过,故事非常冗长杂乱。
He spent the whole lunchtime telling this interminable shaggy dog story about an actress and a bishop. 整个午餐时间,他都在滔滔不绝地讲一名女演员和一名主教之间滑稽的故事。
This shaggy dog story is just a particularly weird example of the new wealth of modern China. 在印证当代中国新生财富的诸多例子中,这条长毛狗的故事只是特别怪异的一个。
