（单词翻译:单击）

I was trying to get my seventh-grade history class to understand how the Indians must have felt when they first encountered1 the Spanish explorers. "How would you feel," I asked, "if someone showed up on your doorstep who looked very different, spoke2 a strange language and wore unusual clothes? Wouldn't you be a bit scared?"

"Nah," one boy answered, "I'd just figure it was my sister's date."
