loggerhead

• He loved green turtles and hawk - bills with their elegance and speed and their great value and he had a friendly contempt for the huge , stupid loggerheads , yellow in their armor - plating , strange in their love - making , and happily eating the portuguese men - of - war with their eyes shut
  他非常喜爱绿色海龟的玳瑁，它们优雅、敏捷，价值又高，可是他对于庞大而笨拙的红海龟，却有一点善意的轻蔑，它们总是懦弱地缩在装甲似的龟壳里， * *的时候也怪里怪样的，甚至还会陶醉地闭起眼睛吃水母。
