cackler

基本解釋

There are among us, however, another kind of people who, armed with a glib tongue, indulge in incessant self-glorification and, like the above-mentioned cackler, hold on to the coop without laying any egg.
但也有一種人，嘴尖舌長(zhǎng)，能說會(huì)道，自我吹噓，滔滔不絕，像那衹愛唱的母雞一樣，佔(zhàn)著個(gè)雞窩不下蛋。
As it is customary for a hen to cackle after laying an egg, the chicken raiser accordingly credited the cackler with all the eggs that had been laid. As a result, he became so partial to his favourite bird that he fed her with every cockroach he caught.
主人根據(jù)母雞下蛋之後報(bào)唱的現(xiàn)象，以爲(wèi)所有的蛋都是那衹唱雞産的，因此很偏愛它，捉得蟑螂也專是喂給它喫。
