An Overpass for Animals
Why did the bear cross the road? To get to the other side, of course!
Have you ever wondered how wild animals cross the road?
你有想過野生動物都怎麼過馬路嗎?Especially if the road is very busy with lots
of cars driving past?
Crossing the street for animals to get to the other side is very dangerous!
They could get hit by passing cars.
野生動物過馬路時很危險,可能會被車撞到。This means it is very dangerous for
drivers as well.
This is why smart people in the U.S. decided to make a special bridge just
for animals.
The bridge goes over a big road.
This way, animals can cross the road without going through busy traffic.
專家決定建一座橋,讓動物安全過馬路。
People put plants and rocks on the bridge so animals feel comfortable.
And after a while, it worked! 還真的有用!
Animals started using the bridge to get from one side of the road to the
other. And by using the bridge, they wouldn't get hit by
cars. 動物過馬路走橋上,就不會被車撞到。
Lots of animals use the bridge, like moose, porcupines, deer and bears.
好多動物現在都這樣過馬路。
Building that bridge was a very smart thing to do for the animals. Now they
can cross the road peacefully and safely.

Robot Wolf Scares Bears in Japan
Do you know what a scarecrow is? 中文是稻草人。
It looks like a person, but it's not real. Farmers sometimes put scarecrows
in their fields to scare away crows... that's why they are called
"scare-crows"! 農夫會放在田裡來嚇走烏鴉。
When crows see the fake person in the field… they get scared and fly away.
But in Hokkaido, Japan, they didn't have a crow problem, they had a big brown
bear problem! 日本北海道,沒有烏鴉的問題,但是有棕熊的大麻煩。
How can you scare away big brown bears? They're not scared of a scarecrow!
要怎麼嚇跑棕熊?牠們又不怕稻草人。
Sometimes, when they get hungry, the bears come into town... looking for
things to eat. 有時候棕熊肚子餓了,會跑到鎮上找東西吃。
Recently, some bears have hurt people... and some bears got hurt, too.
So, a Japanese company had an idea! They made robot wolves!
有一間日本公司,他們做了機器野狼!Maybe you could call them "scare-wolves".
The robot wolves have scary faces with red eyes and their heads move back and
forth. 機器狼有紅色的眼睛、牠的頭可以來回轉動。The bears see the wolves and
stay away!
The robot wolves also make sounds... when the bears get too close.
熊看到狼就不敢靠近,如果熊太靠近了,狼會發出聲音警告。
Great idea, yeah? Robot wolves are helping both people and bears stay safe.
______________________________________________________________
Vocabulary
機器狼幫忙保護人類,又不傷害棕熊。
1. Robot 機器人。I need a robot to cook dinner every day.
我需要機器人每天做晚飯。I want one that drives me to work every
morning.我想要每天早上載我上班的機器人。
2. Scare away 嚇走,scared害怕。Fire usually scares away animals, right?
火通常會把動物嚇走,對吧? Yes, animals are scared of fire. 對,動物害怕火。
3. Hungry 飢餓的。Are you hungry? 你餓了嗎? Let's buy some hamburgers.
我們買幾個漢堡吧。Good idea! I'm indeed hungry. 好主意! 我確實餓了。
4. Back and forth 來來回回。 Why is the boy running back and forth?

Strongest Kids in the World
Are you strong? I mean... really strong? I'm not! There are kids who are
stronger than me!
Some people like to build their muscles by lifting weights... we call this
sport "weightlifting." 有些人靠舉重來鍛鍊肌肉。
All over the world, men and women weightlifters lift weights and see who is
the strongest. 誰能舉最重就是最強的人。
Most adults can only pick up 40, or maybe 50 kilograms. That's about as heavy
as a chimpanzee. 大部分的人可以舉40或50公斤,差不多一隻黑猩猩的重量。 But
weightlifters train for a long time and build up their muscles!
Some very strong men can lift more than 400 kilograms... that's like picking
up a zebra! Some very strong women can lift more than 300 kilograms... that's
like picking up three dolphins!
But... there are very strong kids, too!
One 9-year-old boy in America can lift more than 100 kilograms... that's like
picking up a really fat pig!
美國有一個九歲小男孩,舉了超過100公斤,這樣等於舉起一隻很胖的豬。
And... there is an 8-year-old girl in Canada who can lift about 80
kilograms... and that's as heavy as a jaguar!
8歲的加拿大小女孩,舉了80公斤,這樣等於舉起一隻很重的美洲豹。
Children should be very careful if they try weightlifting and only do it with
a professional adult! Don't try it at home! You'll hurt your back… ouch!!
There are some very strong weightlifters from Taiwan! Check them out, but
remember... don't try weightlifting by yourself!

pigs … one of my friends in Kaohsiung has a pet chicken!
But a pet crocodile??!!
Wow...now that would be a very different kind of pet.
但是,把鱷魚當寵物?…真的很不一樣。
Well, a family in Japan has one!
About 40 years ago, a little boy told his daddy "I don't want a dog or a
cat...I want a baby crocodile!" "okay!".
大約40年前,有個日本小男孩要求養鱷魚,他的爸爸居然答應了! Hmmm...Would your
mom or dad say "yes" to a crocodile? ...I don't think so.
Anyway, the crocodile grew up and is now more than 2-meters long! His name
is "Caiman-san" and he is tame and likes people.
這隻鱷魚現在長大了,超過2公尺長,已經被馴服而且很喜歡人類。

a leash ...just like a dog! 小男孩現在也是大人了,他會用牽繩帶鱷魚去散步。
The family says the pet crocodile is very gentle and doesn't bite.

animals as pets. Wild animals should stay in the wild.
其實,野生動物不應該被當寵物養。 But this happened 40 years ago...maybe
people back then didn't think the same way we do today.
