At the Chengdu research base, at 8:30 a.m., Lin Wei and other panda keepers prepared milk for their cubs for breakfast. At 9 a.m., they found that most of the pups were awake and hungry. When these babies saw the keeper, they all rushed over with excitement. Some even climbed over their friends and fell down.
成都調研基地,上午八點半,林偉和其他的熊貓飼養員給熊貓幼崽準備了牛奶做早餐。上午九點,他們發現大部分幼崽已經睡醒並且感到餓了。這些小寶寶看到飼養員的時候,全部興奮沖了過來,有些甚至從朋友們的身上爬過去還摔倒了。
They are so cute. I take care of them as my baby. Bathe, feed and play with them every day. They are very special to me. Lin loves her job, but it's not easy.
他們太可愛了。我把它們當成自己的寶寶來照顧。每天給它們洗澡,餵養和玩耍。它們對我來說非常特別。林偉愛她的工作,但是這工作並不容易。
Pandas can't have many babies, maybe only one every two years. Pups often die and cannot live long. Adult pandas spend about 12 hours a day eating 10 kilograms of bamboo.
熊貓並不能生很多寶寶,也許每兩年只能生壹個。幼崽們經常病死,不能活很長時間。成年熊貓每天大概花12個小時,吃掉10公斤的竹子。
Many years ago, there were many bamboo forests and pandas in China, but then people began to cut down bamboo forests. Scientists say there are fewer than 2000 giant pandas in the existing bamboo forest environment. About 200 pandas live in zoos or research centers in China and other countries.
許多年前,中國有許多竹林和熊貓,但之後人類就開始砍伐竹林。科學家們說在現存的竹林環境中,僅有不到2000只大熊貓。大約200只熊貓在動物園或中國和其他國家的研究中心生活。
An education project in Chengdu aims to teach children in the city about giant pandas and other endangered animals. They sent people to school to tell the children the importance of protecting these animals. Children sing songs or make pictures about giant pandas and other wild animals.
成都的壹個教育項目旨在向城市的孩子教授大熊貓和其他瀕危動物的知識。他們派人到學校告訴孩子們保護這些動物的重要性。孩子們唱歌或者制作有關大熊貓和其他野生動物的圖片。
Educating children is a way to help save pandas. The Chinese government has also planted more bamboo forests, so there will be more bamboo forests for pandas to live in. We all hope there will be more pandas in the future than they are now.
教育孩子是幫助拯救大熊貓的壹種方法。中國政府也種植了更多的竹林,因此將會有更多的竹林供熊貓居住。我們都希望將來會有比現在更多的大熊貓。
這部分內容主要考察的是間接引語的知識點:
用在表述意見的動詞?perception 之後的壹種從句,這種從句並非由主語直接敘述出來,而是通過第三人轉述的。實際上間接引語大都是賓語從句,當直接引語為祈使句,陳述句,疑問句被轉換成間接引語時,句子的結構,人稱,時態,時間,時間狀語和地點狀語等都要發生改變。間接引語其實就是我們所說的第三人稱轉述。
主句動詞認為:sentiunt ,時態是現在時。間接引語中的動詞是不定式 liberandos esse,是將來時,因為“被釋放”的動作是發生在主句動詞“認為”之後的。liberandos 的性(陽性)、數(復數)與間接引語的主語servos 保持壹致。
