问题峨眉山下，伏虎寺旁，有一种蝴蝶，比最美丽的蝴蝶可能还要美丽些，是峨眉山最珍贵的特产之一。当它阖起两张翅膀的时候，像生长在树枝上的一张干枯了的树叶。谁也不去注意它，谁也不会瞧它一眼。它收敛起了它的花纹、图案，隐藏了它的粉墨、彩色，逸出了繁华的花丛，停止了它翱翔的姿态，变成了一张憔悴的，干枯了的，甚至不是枯黄，而是枯槁的，如同死灰颜色的枯叶。它这样伪装，是为了保护自己。但是它还是逃不脱被捕捉的命运。不仅因为它的美丽，更因为它那用来隐藏它的美丽的枯槁与憔悴。

选项

答案 At the foot of Mount Emei, around Fuhu Temple, there lives a species of butterfly—one of the rarest rarities of the mountain—that is probably even more beautiful than the most beautiful butterflies in the world. When it closes its wings, it resembles a withered tree leaf hanging from a branch—scarcely noticeable to human. When it gathers its wings full of exquisite patterns, it conceals its beautiful colors. When it flutters out from a cluster of blooming flowers and alights somewhere in the middle of its graceful flight, it turns into a dried leaf, not even of a withering yellow, but of a deathly gray. It disguises its shape and colours in order to protect itself, but nevertheless it can’t help ending up in being captured, not only because of its beauty, but more because of the withered quality of its appearance that covers up its beauty.
