ALL THE WORLD IS A ZOO
整个世界就是个动物园
It is fun to watch the lions and tigers and monkeys in a zoo. Probably you have many times begged your parents to take you to see the animals. But did you ever stop to think that all the world is a zoo? Close about you are wild things of nature that are just as interesting as tigers and monkeys. Do you know the names of all the kinds of birds that nest near your home? How many kinds of wild flowers can you name?
在动物园里看狮子、老虎和猴子是很有趣的。也许你曾多次请求你的父母带你去看动物。但你有没有停下来想一想，整个世界就是一个动物园? 你身边的野生动物就像老虎和猴子一样有趣。你知道在你家附近筑巢的各种鸟类的名字吗? 你能说出多少种野花名字?
Perhaps there are some wild animals near your home that you never dreamed lived there. One fifth-grade boy never knew there were weasels near his home until they killed his pet guinea pigs one night. His sister found a little gray-furred baby that had fallen from its nest. She carried it home and took care of it until it grew into a lively flying squirrel. She had never seen any flying squirrels; so she looked them up in a book. There she found that they come out only at night.
也许有一些野生动物在你家附近，你从来没有梦想过生活在那里。一个五年级的男孩从来不知道他家附近有黄鼠狼，直到一天晚上他们杀死了他心爱的豚鼠。他的妹妹发现了一个从窝里掉下来的灰毛小动物。她把它带回家照顾它，直到它长成一只活泼的松鼠。她从来没有见过松鼠; 所以她在一本书中查阅了它们。她发现他们只在晚上出来。
