骆驼camel[英]['kæml] [美][ˈkæməl] 中英文小故事：小骆驼的疑问 一天，小骆驼问自己的母亲，“妈妈，为什么我有这些巨大的三个趾的脚？” 妈妈回答，“儿子，当我们穿越沙漠的时候，脚趾会帮助你停留在软的沙子上”。 “好的”儿子说。几分钟后，儿子问，“妈妈，为什么我有这些巨大的长睫毛？” “他们保证你的眼睛穿过沙漠”，“谢谢妈妈”儿子答复。 过了一会儿，儿子回来问，“妈妈，为什么在我的背上有巨大的驼峰？？” 妈妈，现在有点不耐烦了，对男孩说，“他们是为了帮助我们在沙漠里长途跋涉储水，所以我们可以长时间不喝水。” “这是伟大的！妈妈，我们有着防止在沙漠下沉的巨大的脚，保证风沙不眯眼的长睫毛，驼峰还能储存水。但是，妈妈”， “怎么啦？”妈妈问 “我们为什么在圣地亚哥动物园？” A mother and baby camel are talking one day when the baby camel asks, "Mom why have I got these huge three toed feet?" The mother replies, "Well son, when we trek across the desert your toes will help you to stay on top of the soft sand". "OK" said the son. A few minutes later the son asks, "Mom, why have I got these great long eyelashes?" "They are there to keep the sand out of your eyes on the trips through the desert", "Thanks Mom" replies the son. After a short while, the son returns and asks, "Mom, why have I got these great big humps on my back??" The mother, now a little impatient with the boy replies, "They are there to help us store water for our long treks across the desert, so we can go without drinking for long periods." "That's great mom, so we have huge feet to stop us sinking, and long eyelashes to keep the sand from our eyes and these humps to store water. But Mom", "Yes son?" "Why the heck are we in the San Diego Zoo?" |
