We still tell stories, are hungry  for food, greedy for resources, desperate to be accepted by our peers.

我仍然讲述故事， 渴望食物，贪求资源， 急切地希望得到同龄人的认可。

我的祖先富有创造、强、扩张欲望强烈并贪求资源，这使得他夺地球的中获胜。

这种汁液虽然量少， 却为昆虫所贪求； 但他的访问对工厂没有任何好处。

Who was to know that she had grown generous in the greediness of a new passion, that in coveting one cousin she was dealing liberally with another, that in her eagerness to appropriate she gave way?
