My dog is in the garden. He is wagging his tail, his mouth is open and he is looking at me. What is he trying to tell me? Jane Roberts reports.
我的狗在花園里。他正在搖尾巴，張著嘴看著我。他想告訴我什么？簡(jiǎn)·羅伯茨報(bào)告。
People have always been interested in animal communication and scientists have done a lot of research on this subject.
人們一直對(duì)動(dòng)物如何交流感興趣，科學(xué)家們已就這一課題做了許多研究。
Most animals communicate by smell. Dogs are famous for this. When a dog walks outside, it learns about other dogs by smelling things. Dogs have helped the police for a long time, too. They can find missing people by using their fantastic sense of smell. Mice have an excellent sense of smell, too. Scientists have even trained them to find landmines. Scientists have discovered that even ants use smell. They use smell to tell other ants where the food is.
大部分動(dòng)物通過(guò)嗅覺(jué)交流。狗在這一點(diǎn)上尤為顯著。一條狗在外面走的時(shí)候，它通過(guò)聞東西來(lái)辨別其他的狗。狗也幫助警察很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間了。它們能通過(guò)它們極為敏銳的嗅覺(jué)來(lái)尋找走丟的人。老鼠的嗅覺(jué)也很靈敏。科學(xué)家們甚至訓(xùn)練了老鼠來(lái)找地雷。科學(xué)家發(fā)現(xiàn)甚至螞蟻都是用嗅覺(jué)。它們利用嗅覺(jué)來(lái)告訴其他螞蟻食物在哪里。
Everyone has heard birds singing. Research has shown that many other animals use sound to communicate. Frogs and insects communicate with sounds. Usually the "gentlemen" make sounds to invite the "ladies".
大家都聽(tīng)過(guò)鳥(niǎo)兒唱歌。研究顯示有很多其他的動(dòng)物利用聲音來(lái)交流。青蛙和昆蟲(chóng)用聲音交流。通常雄性發(fā)出聲音來(lái)邀請(qǐng)雌性。
Whales and elephants also use sound to communicate. These sounds can travel very far through water or the ground. However, it is not possible for humans to hear some of the sounds. They are either too low or too high for us.
鯨魚(yú)和大象也用聲音交流。這些聲音能通過(guò)水或土地傳非常遠(yuǎn)。但是，人類要聽(tīng)到這些聲音是不可能的。這些聲音對(duì)我們來(lái)說(shuō)不是太低就是太高。
Animals have always used body language to communicate as well. When a cat puts its ears back, it is a bit mad. When it sits with its tail around itself, it is happy. When a dog puts its tail under its body, it is scared. When it wags its tail and opens its mouth, it is happy. So I think my dog is happy right now.
動(dòng)物也總是使用肢體語(yǔ)言來(lái)交流。當(dāng)貓把耳朵豎起來(lái)的時(shí)候，它就有一點(diǎn)生氣了。當(dāng)它把尾巴繞著自己坐著的時(shí)候，它就很開(kāi)心。當(dāng)狗把尾巴放到身體下面的時(shí)候，它就很害怕。當(dāng)它搖尾巴張大嘴的時(shí)候，它就很開(kāi)心。所以我認(rèn)為我的狗現(xiàn)在很開(kāi)心。
