    《旅夜书怀》杜甫 Writing of my feelings ,Traveling by night By Fu Du    细草微风岸,危樯独夜舟。 Slender grasses,breeze faint on the shore;Here,the looming mast,the lonely night boat. 星垂平野阔,月涌大江流。 Stars hang down on the breadth of the plain,The moon gushes in the great river's current. 名岂文章著,官应老病休。 My name shall not be known from my writing,Sick,growing old,I must yield up my post. 飘飘何所似?天地一沙鸥。 Wind-tossed,fluttering—what is my likeness?In Heaven and Earth,a single gull of the sands. I read it from somewhere else, and It is beautiful and easy to understand in English. : D

    海蛞蝓~!

    海蛞蝓是一种软体动物。大部分海蛞蝓生活在珊瑚礁里。


    蛞蝓不是特别好看的动物。它们是黏糊糊的,而且很奇怪。很多人讨厌它们。然而,海蛞蝓的美丽很有名。它们非常五颜六色。

    蛞蝓不是海蛞蝓,它们不是特别好看的动物。它们是黏糊糊的,而且很奇怪,很多人讨厌它们。然而,海蛞蝓以美丽而闻名,它们非常五颜六色。


    它们的身体为什么这么鲜艳?珊瑚常常也很鲜艳,所以有的时候,海蛞蝓的颜色是一种伪装。有的时候,它们的颜色是一个警告。一般来说,很鲜艳的动物有毒。海蛞蝓不能分泌自己的毒素,可是它们吃的动物常常有毒。它们吃到一只动物后,它们会用那只动物的毒素。

    海蛞蝓是雌雄同体。交配以前,它们平常打架决定谁是母的,谁是公的。失败者会被胜利者受胎。以后,母的海蛞蝓会下很多的蛋。
    海蛞蝓是雌雄同体。交配以前,它们常常打架决定谁是母的,谁是公的(so cute :D)。失败者会为胜利者受孕。之后,母的海蛞蝓会下很多的蛋。


    它们的寿命很短。有一些只能生活几个星期。不过,很少动物愿意吃它们,而且它们生很多的蛋,所以它们的种群还是很多的。如果你去珊瑚礁,我推荐你找它们。

    你的问题非常专业,我没法回答,可能需要请教建古建筑专业人士或研究风水的专业人士。不过我所知中国建筑群落一般会提到纵横。横屋一般指一联排房子。 http://wenku.baidu.com/view/014ada86e53a580216fcfe5a.html 这百度文库里面有示意图。
