黑色和紫色的云团在上面翻滚，随着外面又响起一阵雷声，一道叉状的闪电在天花板上划过。

Then you lean the bamboo over a fire, with the top propped up by a forked stick and the bottom sitting on the ground.

然后你把竹子靠在火上，顶部用一叉状的棍子支撑，底部放在地上。

Every head in the Great Hall swiveled toward the stranger, suddenly brightly illuminated by a fork of lightning that flashed across the ceiling.

礼堂里的人都转过头去望着陌生人，突然一道叉状的闪电划过天花板。

But, finding that the big, forked animal doesn't scare, he prudently beats a retreat, and sets himself up to reconnoiter on some overhanging branch, scrutinizing every movement you make with ludicrous solemnity.

但是，发现那头叉状的大没有吓到它，他谨慎地撤退了，然后在一些悬垂的树枝上站起来侦察，以可笑的严肃性仔细检查你的一举一。

In fact, they are the only animal in  the world that have forked, or pronged, horns that shed every year.

事实上，它们是世界上唯一一种每年都会脱落的叉状或叉状角的。
