Soon each hippo is trailed by a shoal of fish,
沒多久 每只河馬都有魚群尾隨其后
waiting for their breakfast.
等著大啖早餐
Hippo droppings.
河馬的糞便
But it's not just the hippo's dung the fish are interested in.
但魚兒凱覷的不只是河馬的糞便
When the hippos reach one particular spot in the pool,
當河馬來到水潭的某個地方
they stand still and wait.
就站定等候
And the fish start to clean them...
魚兒開始為它們潔凈身體
..removing ticks, parasites and other tasty morsels.
解決虱子和寄生蟲 和其他美味的食物
To the fish the hippos are a mobile cafeteria.
河馬是魚類的活動自助餐廳
The hippos seem to be enjoying the sensation.
河馬似乎很享受這種感覺
The only thing that interrupts the feast
河馬偶爾要吸口氣
is the need to take an occasional breath.
唯有這時才會打斷這場饗宴
