Nature Can Tell Us Secrets
大自然能告訴我們許多奧秘
The world of the Out-of-Doors is full of secrets. There are so many of the secrets, and they are so interesting, that thousands of men and women and boys and girls are busy studying them. All around us are birds, animals, trees, and flowers. The facts about how they live and grow are as interesting as anything could be.
戶外的世界充滿奧秘。那么多的奧秘，那么有趣，以至于成千上萬的男人、女人、男孩和女孩都忙著研究它們。我們周圍到處都有小鳥、動物、樹木和花朵。它們生存和生長的真相跟其他東西一樣有趣。
Do you know that Theodore Roosevelt, one of our great Presidents, spent hours and hours studying birds? A business man who lives near New York City became so interested in insects that he began to collect them. He now has over one thousand different kinds carefully kept in glass-covered boxes.
你知道嗎？一位偉大的總統——西奧多·羅斯福，曾經花了很多時間研究鳥類。一位住在紐約市附近的商人對昆蟲產生了濃厚的興趣，就著手收集昆蟲。他現在收集到的昆蟲多達一千多個品種，小心翼翼地把它們保存在有玻璃蓋子的盒子里。
Come then with me, your Book Comrade, and I will help you find some of Nature’s secrets. Let us go softly through the woods and fields. Here we shall find a half-grown Bunnyboy who has met with an adventure that has frightened him badly. We shall follow a mother bear and her four cubs as they hunt for food and get ready for their long winter’s sleep. We shall watch a brave and wise mother partridge save her baby chicks from a hungry fox. I will show you many other interesting things, but the best thing that I can teach you is to keep your eyes and ears open when you go out-doors. Nature will tell you some of her secrets if you look and if you listen.
跟我來吧，我是你的好朋友書，我將幫你發現大自然的一些奧秘。讓我們輕輕地穿過森林和田野。在這里我們會發現一只半大的小兔哥經歷了一次冒險，把他嚇壞了。我們將追隨熊媽媽和她的四只熊寶寶捕獵食物，為長長的冬眠做準備。我們將看到一個勇敢而聰明的鷓鴣媽媽從一只饑餓的狐貍那里拯救出她的寶寶。我會向你展示其他很多有趣的事情，而我所能教給你的最好的事情是當你去野外的時候要留心看，留心聽。如果你去看，去聽，大自然就會告訴你一些她的奧秘。
