English term or phrase: ruby
Es geht um die deutsche Übersetzung dieses Zitats von Thayer, insbesondere um den letzten Abschnitt.
Kann uns jemand bei der Übersetzung helfen ?
According to Thayer, it is this effect that enables the Mallard duck's "dark green head to detach itself from his body, and to join the dark green of the shady sledge; or the ruby of the Hummingbird to desert him and to appear to belong to the glistening flower which he is searching."
