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.

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

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!

Wow...now that would be a very different kind of pet.

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

is "Caiman-san" and he is tame and likes people.
