英文释义

名词 n.
  1. An unidentified humanoid animal said to live in the Himalayas.
    — The Sherpas had no hesitation in pronouncing them to be those of a Snowman or "Yeti" (not "mirka" as Mr.Smythe's Tibetans had it), and they thought he was the smaller man-eating variety and not his larger yak-eating brother.[…]They may even have been our friend ursus arctoc pruinosus, but they were no more like the tracks of our "Yeti" than those of a two-toed anteater or an armadillo.
