This name is as astonishing a phenomenon as the fact that anyone ever noticed the color of butterfly excrement.Apparently, however, when the butterfly was not busy leaving colorful traces of itself, it was stealing milk and butter.This was not because of its thievish nature but because it was really a mischievous witch in the form of a winged insect.So the second suggestion is that this predilection for butter larceny gave rise to the colorful insect's name.蝴蝶是以其排泄物的颜色命名的，还是因为它的确是个正在偷东西的精灵呢?第一个假设基于蝴蝶在古代荷兰语中的名称为boterschijte 这个事实。 这个名称同任何人都曾注意到蝴蝶的排泄物的颜色这个事实一样是个令人吃惊的现象。然而，很显然蝴蝶不是在忙于留下它们彩色的行迹就是忙于偷牛奶或奶油。这不是因为它有偷窃的天性而是因为它确实是一只作为有翅昆虫形体的淘气的精灵。所以第二个假设就是这种奶油盗窃的嗜好引出了彩色昆虫的命名〔gracious〕Of a merciful or compassionate nature.天性仁慈宽厚的〔turn〕A characteristic mood, style, or habit; a natural inclination:天性，禀性：典型的情绪、风格成习惯；自然的倾向：〔mensch〕"He radiates the kind of fundamental decency that has a name in Yiddish; he's a mensch"(James Atlas)“他浑身散发出一种在意第绪语中有名的天性庄重的风度；他是个体面人士”(詹姆斯·阿特拉斯)〔ontological〕Of or relating to essence or the nature of being.实体论的：生物本质、天性的或与其相关的〔periphrastic〕Having the nature of or characterized by periphrasis.迂回曲折的：有折绕的天性或特性的〔disposition〕"It is my habit,—I hope I may say, my nature,—to believe the best of people" (George W.
