"This definition of "crouched" is incorrect. "Crouched" means to lower one's body by bending the knees and hips, so the following sentence illustrates that meaning. The cat crouched low to the ground, ready to pounce on the toy mouse. "

Cette définition de "crouched" est incorrecte. "Crouched" signifie abaisser son corps en pliant les genoux et les hanches, donc la phrase suivante illustre cette signification.
