Unit 6 Animals 翻译：第六单元 动物

Our planet is home to about 30 million different kinds of animals. They are special and amazing! 翻译：我们的星球上生活着大约3千万种不同的动物。它们既特别又很神奇！

Chameleons are famous because they can change colours. They can also move their eyes in two different directions at the same time. This helps them to see all directions. A chameleon grows, but its skin doesn't. When the skin is too small, it comes off. The dead skin becomes their food. Chameleons usually don't sleep during the day. If you see a chameleon with one or both eyes closed in the daytime, it may be sick. 翻译：变色龙之所以出名，是因为它们可以变色。它们的眼睛还能同时朝不同的方向转动，帮助它们全方位观察周围环境。变色龙会长大，但它的皮肤不会随之生长。当旧皮肤变得过于紧绷时，就会自然脱落。脱下来的死皮就会成为它们的食物。变色龙白天通常不睡觉。如果你看到变色龙在白天闭着一只或两只眼睛，它可能是生病了。

Crocodiles run fast and sometimes jump to catch their food. When they see the food, they open their mouths wide and eat it. The food goes straight down to their stomach! Crocodiles don't clean their teeth, but they grow new ones many times during their life. And they can't move their tongues! 翻译：鳄鱼跑得很快，有时候还会跳起来捕捉食物。当它们看到食物时，就会张开大嘴一口吞下，食物直接进入它们的胃里！鳄鱼从不清洁牙齿，但它们一生中会多次长出新牙。而且，它们的舌头无法移动!

Seahorses can change colours too. Male seahorses are the only male creatures on the planet that can have babies! The female gives her eggs to the male, and he carries them for a month. Then, there are nearly TWO THOUSAND TINY BABIES!! Every morning, the male and female seahorses dance together. The dance usually lasts for several minutes. 翻译：海马也会变色。雄性海马是地球上唯一会生幼崽的雄性生物！雌海马将卵交给雄海马，然后雄海马怀胎一个月。接下来，就会有将近两千只小海马诞生！！每天早上，雄海马和雌海马会一起跳舞，舞蹈通常会持续几分钟。

Christian lived with John and Anthony happily for about a year. He was never angry and he was not dangerous. However, he grew quickly.

After a year, John and Anthony went back to see Christian. It took a long time, but they finally found Christian with a few other lions. Christian walked towards them slowly.

I moved to London from Australia with my friend John Rendall in the 1960s. One day, we saw a baby lion in a shop and we decided to buy it and take it home. We called the lion Christian and we looked after him very well. We took him for walks and drived him around the city in our car. Christian lived with us happily, but he grew quickly! After a year, Christian was too big for the city and, anyway, he didn't belong here. So, we took him to Africa so that he could live freely. It wasn't easy for him at first because everything was new, but he learnt and did well. In 1971, John and I went back to visit Christian. He was excited to see us! He still recognised us when we visited again a year later, but he was so big that he knocked us down easily when he jumped up to hug us! 翻译：20世纪60年代，我和我的朋友约翰·伦德尔从澳大利亚搬到了伦敦。有一天，我们在一家商店里看到了一只小狮子，于是决定把他买下来并带回家。我们给这只小狮子取名为克里斯蒂安，并且把他照顾得很好。我们带他散步，开着车带他在城市里兜风。克里斯蒂安和我们生活得很愉快，不过，他长得很快！一年后，克里斯蒂安长得太大了，不适合再留在城里，而且他也不属于这里。于是，我们把他带到了非洲，让他自由自在地生活。起初，他生活得并不顺利，因为一切都是新的，但他慢慢地适应了并在那里过得很好。1971年，约翰和我回去看望了克里斯蒂安。他见到我们很激动！一年后，当我们再次去看望他时，他还能认出我们，但它太大了，以至于它跳起来拥抱我们时，我们很容易被它撞倒！

You won't hear them, though, because they move very quietly. In winter, echidnas carefully dig holes under the ground and stay there. 翻译：针鼹在白天或夜晚都会快速进入睡眠。在一年中的温暖月份，它们白天觅食，晚上睡觉。但如果天气炎热，针鼹就会白天睡觉，晚上醒来！不过你听不到它们的声音，因为它们的行动非常安静。到了冬天，针鼹会小心翼翼地在地下挖洞，然后待在那里。
