喜樂美語
  1. 1

    A drover is a person whose job is to move cattle or sheep from one place to another in a group, on foot or on , along roads or old stock . The group on the move is a drove, so the drover is the one taking that drove. The work was once common in Britain, Australia, and other farming countries; trucks later took most of it. In Australian history the drover is a well-known figure. The word is a little old in city talk, but still the right name for that job. It is not a cowboy in a film, and it is not a shepherd who stays with one flock in one place — a drover is taking animals on a journey.

    趕牲畜的人（趕牛、趕羊走長路的那種）
