Wattle – the floral emblem of Australia – has proved a huge problem for South Africa.
金合歡樹（澳大利亞的植物象征）給南非帶來(lái)了嚴(yán)重問(wèn)題。
They wove branches and wattle—wooden lattice—between the posts and filled the enclosure with logs, branches, soil and clay.
他們把樹枝和板條編織在樁子上作為木質(zhì)承重格柵，然后用原木、樹枝、泥巴和陶土將其填滿。
Houses were rapidly erected; most of them consisted of posts stuck in the ground, interwoven with twigs of wattle trees, and then daubed over with mud.
房子很快建了起來(lái)，大多數(shù)的房子是把柱子插入土地，用金合歡樹的樹枝編連，外面再涂滿泥。

Then, in a district called the Portiuncula, they found a ruined church, Santa Maria degli Angeli, and they built wattle-and-daub cells around it.
