Cuttlefish Memories
Hi, everyone! I've got another interesting story for you today, but first, I
want to ask you a quick question. 講故事之前,我先問你們一個問題。
What did you have for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day last week?
Can't remember? That's okay. A lot of people would have trouble remembering
all that. 你們上星期每天吃什麼? 忘記了嗎?沒關係。
But do you know what could easily remember all that? An animal called a
cuttlefish. 但是烏賊就會記得喔!
Scientists gave cuttlefish a test. They wanted to see if they could remember
what they ate, where they ate it, and when they ate it. And guess what? They
could! Cuttlefish have great memories!
科學家測驗烏賊記不記得,之前吃過什麼,在哪裡吃的,還有什麼時候吃的.烏賊都答得出來!
牠們的記憶力很強!
People will often forget things. Do you ever forget things? I know I do! And
I've got bad news, kids. Our memories usually get worse as we get older.
人類老化,記憶力通常會減退。
Anyway… What were we talking about? Oh, yeah! Cuttlefish!
The other cool thing about cuttlefish is their memories stay strong.
In the test the scientists gave them, the older cuttlefish did just as well
as the young cuttlefish! 但是烏賊不論年老還是年輕,記憶力一樣好!
Cuttlefish have great memories! So don't forget it!
