If stock investors are the quokkas of the financial kingdom, bond investors are the porcupines: wary and naturally defensive.

如果说股票投资者是金融王国的矮袋鼠，那么债券投资者就是豪猪：警惕且天生具有防御性。

Around the settlement areas the quokkas are a lot friendlier; they've become used to people, so their natural behaviors change.

居住区周围的短尾矮袋鼠要友好得多，他们已经习惯了人类，所以他们的自然行为发生了变化。

The popularity of the quokka selfie has given us the opportunity to be able to raise awareness about the quokka's particularly on the mainland that are under threat.

与短尾矮袋鼠自拍照的流行给了我们机会去提高对短尾矮袋鼠的认识，尤其是在这个它们正受到威胁的大陆上。

The quokka, an Australian marsupial about the size of a domestic cat, has full cheeks and a curved mouth that convey the impression-often to delighted tourists-that the critter is smiling.

短尾矮袋鼠是一种澳大利亚有袋动物，大小和家猫差不多，有着胖胖的脸颊和弯弯的嘴巴，这给人们--通常是高兴的游客--留下了一种印象：它在微笑。

The divergence in sentiment between the quokkas and porcupines is very different from the early stages of the pandemic, when stocks were extremely volatile and government bonds far less so.

矮袋鼠和豪猪之间的情绪差异与疫情暴发初期有很大不同，当时股市波动极大，政府债券的波动要小得多。
