Cities of this kind are like hummocks of spinifex , or porcupine grass , whose centre eventually collapses , leaving live rings surrounding a dead middle .
这类城市就像是一丛丛的滨刺草或者箭猪草一样,中心已经枯死而留下一圈活体环绕着死去的中心部分。
The tip of a single quill on a porcupine holds as many as 700 backwards-facing barbs that can lodge into the flesh of any animal that wanders too close .
一根箭猪刺的尖端有多达700个倒刺,可以刺入任何冒然接近它们的动物的皮肉。
The best example of this is the porcupine whose spikes stand up when threatened .
最典型的例子就是豪猪,当受到威胁时,它的刺会竖立起来。
Not like porcupine needles or anything , but small pointy projections on the surface that basically make the organ bumpy .
它不像豪猪的刺或其它什么的,但是在表面上有尖状的凸起使这个器官起伏不平。
