Lesson 27 The Shrimp
第27課 蝦
Do you like shrimps? They are very nice to eat at tea-time along with bread and butter. Next time you have shrimps for tea, you must look at them well before you eat them.
小朋友, 你喜歡吃蝦嗎? 在下午茶的時候, 就著面包和黃油吃蝦, 可好吃了！下次, 你在下午茶吃蝦的時候, 一定要仔細看看。
The shrimps you eat have been boiled, and this made them look red; but when they are in the sea, their colour is like that of the sea-sand.
小朋友吃的蝦是已經煮熟了的, 所以看起來是紅色的；但是, 海里的蝦的顏色, 跟海沙的顏色是一樣的。
The shrimp has a smooth, hard skin or shell all over the outside of its body, and its flesh is inside thisskin. It has a large head, made of what looks like one big ring of hard skin. Its body and it's tail are made of many smaller rings, all joined together.
蝦的身體外面包著一層光滑、堅硬的皮, 也叫甲殼（qiào）, 這層皮里面才是肉。蝦的頭很大, 看上去就像甲殼的一個大“體節”。蝦的身體和尾巴, 是很多小體節連在一起構成的。
Do you see the black eyes of the shrimp? They look like little knobs, and stick out on the front of its head. Two pairs of feelers also grow out of its head. They help the shrimp to feel its way along the dark bottom of the sea.
你看見蝦的黑眼睛了嗎? 就像兩個小圓疙瘩一樣, 突出在腦袋前面。腦袋上還長著兩對觸角, 可以幫助蝦在黑暗的海底探路。
The shrimp has several pairs of limbs. Some of these it uses for biting off its food. Other limbs are usedlike jaws for chewing its food.
蝦長著好幾對足, 有些足用來“咬掉”小塊的食物, 有些足的功能像上下頜一樣, 可以用來咀嚼食物。
