A few years ago I was on holiday in Holland. I was on a bicycle trip and at the very first sign of a hill, I got off my bike for a rest. I sat down by the side of the road on the grass. A few seconds later, I was covered in ants.

几年前，我在荷兰度假。我在骑行的途中在看见的第一座小山处下了车休息。在路边的草地上，我坐下来休息。几秒钟之后，我的身上爬满了蚂蚁。

They were swarming all over me so I quickly got up and brushed them off. I had obviously sat near an anthill and they were protecting their territory from an invader. It was a strange experience but I soon forgot about it, got back on my bike and tackled the hill.

它们在我身上爬满了，所以我马上站起来，把它们拍掉。显然，我坐在了蚁丘附近，所以它们是为了保护自己的领地不被外来人侵略。这是一段奇怪的经历，但是我很快便把它忘掉，继续骑行，越过了小山。
