An arrow stood out from a tree trunk beside him, quivering gradually back into visibility less than an arm's length from his head. 一枝箭,插上了他旁边的一棵树上,箭身的抖动渐渐平息,他可以清楚地看到,这把箭离他的头,不到一臂之远。
He fended off a jab at his chest. 他避开了当胸一击。
We avoided the enemy's main forces and struck at his weak spots. 我们避开敌人主力,打击他们的弱点。
