1·Back then they were made of naturally occurring objects - coconuts, sea shells, hollow stones or similar objects filled with moss or a similar material that was soaked with animal fat and ignited.

2·Thus, harvesting the babassu coconuts is more similar to farming than other activities involving more widely dispersed wild-growing trees or vegetation, such as rubber-tapping in the Amazon jungle.
因此，收割巴巴苏椰子与其他诸如砍伐亚马逊丛林的那种收割生长在更野外的分散生长的树或者植物相比，更与耕种相似。
3·They were now resident in the forest through which we wandered, past Java plums, mahogany, teak and acacia trees, hanging oranges, lychees, coconuts, pineapples and tea-tree shrubs.
它们栖身于森林之中，为了寻找它们，我们穿梭在莲雾树、桃花心木、柚木、金合欢、茶树灌木之中，看到橙子、荔枝、椰子、菠萝果实累累。
4·By the second day, lorry loads of food started arriving as Sri Lankans responded generously with rice, vegetables, coconuts and necessities.
到了第二天，装满大米、蔬菜和椰子以及生活必需品的卡车陆续抵达这里，这些是斯里兰卡人捐赠的。
5·Just as some people cannot find work, so some coconuts do not find a buyer.
就像一些人找不到工作一样，总有些椰子没人买。
