ALL THE WORLD IS A ZOO
整個世界就是個動物園
It is fun to watch the lions and tigers and monkeys in a zoo. Probably you have many times begged your parents to take you to see the animals. But did you ever stop to think that all the world is a zoo? Close about you are wild things of nature that are just as interesting as tigers and monkeys. Do you know the names of all the kinds of birds that nest near your home? How many kinds of wild flowers can you name?
在動物園里看獅子、老虎和猴子是很有趣的。也許你曾多次請求你的父母帶你去看動物。但你有沒有停下來想一想，整個世界就是一個動物園? 你身邊的野生動物就像老虎和猴子一樣有趣。你知道在你家附近筑巢的各種鳥類的名字嗎? 你能說出多少種野花名字?
Perhaps there are some wild animals near your home that you never dreamed lived there. One fifth-grade boy never knew there were weasels near his home until they killed his pet guinea pigs one night. His sister found a little gray-furred baby that had fallen from its nest. She carried it home and took care of it until it grew into a lively flying squirrel. She had never seen any flying squirrels; so she looked them up in a book. There she found that they come out only at night.
也許有一些野生動物在你家附近，你從來沒有夢想過生活在那里。一個五年級的男孩從來不知道他家附近有黃鼠狼，直到一天晚上他們殺死了他心愛的豚鼠。他的妹妹發現了一個從窩里掉下來的灰毛小動物。她把它帶回家照顧它，直到它長成一只活潑的松鼠。她從來沒有見過松鼠; 所以她在一本書中查閱了它們。她發現他們只在晚上出來。
