At the Chengdu research base, at 8:30 a.m., Lin Wei and other panda keepers prepared milk for their cubs for breakfast. At 9 a.m., they found that most of the pups were awake and hungry. When these babies saw the keeper, they all rushed over with excitement. Some even climbed over their friends and fell down.
成都调研基地,上午八点半,林伟和其他的熊猫饲养员给熊猫幼崽准备了牛奶做早餐。上午九点,他们发现大部分幼崽已经睡醒并且感到饿了。这些小宝宝看到饲养员的时候,全部兴奋冲了过来,有些甚至从朋友们的身上爬过去还摔倒了。
They are so cute. I take care of them as my baby. Bathe, feed and play with them every day. They are very special to me. Lin loves her job, but it's not easy.
他们太可爱了。我把它们当成自己的宝宝来照顾。每天给它们洗澡,喂养和玩耍。它们对我来说非常特别。林伟爱她的工作,但是这工作并不容易。
Pandas can't have many babies, maybe only one every two years. Pups often die and cannot live long. Adult pandas spend about 12 hours a day eating 10 kilograms of bamboo.
熊猫并不能生很多宝宝,也许每两年只能生一个。幼崽们经常病死,不能活很长时间。成年熊猫每天大概花12个小时,吃掉10公斤的竹子。
Many years ago, there were many bamboo forests and pandas in China, but then people began to cut down bamboo forests. Scientists say there are fewer than 2000 giant pandas in the existing bamboo forest environment. About 200 pandas live in zoos or research centers in China and other countries.
许多年前,中国有许多竹林和熊猫,但之后人类就开始砍伐竹林。科学家们说在现存的竹林环境中,仅有不到2000只大熊猫。大约200只熊猫在动物园或中国和其他国家的研究中心生活。
An education project in Chengdu aims to teach children in the city about giant pandas and other endangered animals. They sent people to school to tell the children the importance of protecting these animals. Children sing songs or make pictures about giant pandas and other wild animals.
成都的一个教育项目旨在向城市的孩子教授大熊猫和其他濒危动物的知识。他们派人到学校告诉孩子们保护这些动物的重要性。孩子们唱歌或者制作有关大熊猫和其他野生动物的图片。
Educating children is a way to help save pandas. The Chinese government has also planted more bamboo forests, so there will be more bamboo forests for pandas to live in. We all hope there will be more pandas in the future than they are now.
教育孩子是帮助拯救大熊猫的一种方法。中国政府也种植了更多的竹林,因此将会有更多的竹林供熊猫居住。我们都希望将来会有比现在更多的大熊猫。
这部分内容主要考察的是间接引语的知识点:
用在表述意见的动词 perception 之后的一种从句,这种从句并非由主语直接叙述出来,而是通过第三人转述的。实际上间接引语大都是宾语从句,当直接引语为祈使句,陈述句,疑问句被转换成间接引语时,句子的结构,人称,时态,时间,时间状语和地点状语等都要发生改变。间接引语其实就是我们所说的第三人称转述。
主句动词认为:sentiunt ,时态是现在时。间接引语中的动词是不定式 liberandos esse,是将来时,因为“被释放”的动作是发生在主句动词“认为”之后的。liberandos 的性(阳性)、数(复数)与间接引语的主语servos 保持一致。
