我们今天的主题是“澳大利亚特有的生物”，野生动物专家Jim Smith博士回答了我们的问题。
Q：Australia has lots of unique animals, but which animal is a symbol of the country
是...的象征
澳大利亚有很多独特的动物，但哪种动物是这个国家的象征？
It has to be the kangaroo, as it has a wide distribution throughout the country. It's a tough animal that has to survive in a difficult environment. Also, it cannot walk backwards, so it is always moving forwards. This expresses the strength and resolve of the Australians as individuals and as a nation. Baby kangaroos weigh only two grammes at birth. They then find their way into their mother's pouch—a kind of pocket—to stay safe and warm.

They sleep and drink milk in that temporary，protected environment until they are about seven or eight months old. After this phase, they go out to try their legs. After they learn to jump, they gradually spend less time with their mother and learn to be independent.Kangaroos may look cute, but encounters with them don't always end so well. Kangaroos can hit and kick very hard, so please folks, if you see some kangaroos, remember they're not for petting!

它一定是袋鼠，因为它在全国各地都有广泛的分布。它是一种坚韧的动物，必须在艰难的环境中生存。此外，它不能向后走，所以它总是向前走。这表达了澳大利亚人作为个人和国家的力量和决心。袋鼠宝宝出生时只有两克重。然后，它们找到了进入母亲的袋子——一种保持安全和温暖的袋子。它们在这种临时的、受保护的环境中睡觉和喝牛奶，直到大约七八个月大。在这个阶段之后，他们出去试腿。在它们学会跳跃后，它们逐渐减少了与母亲相处的时间，学会了独立。袋鼠可能看起来很可爱，但与它们的相遇并不总是那么美好。袋鼠可以很用力地打和踢，所以请各位，如果你看到一些袋鼠，请记住它们不是用来抚摸的！

Q：Koalas are cute, and we see so many pictures of people holding them. But in many places in Australia, it is against the law to even touch them. Can you clarify that

违法
澄清，说明
考拉很可爱，我们看到很多人抱着它们的照片。但在澳大利亚的许多地方，甚至触摸它们都是违法的。你能说明一下这点吗？
They are really quite cute, but the truth is, koalas are very sensitive creatures who can easily panic because of even small changes in their environment. They spend quite a lot of time eating, sleeping, and hanging onto tree trunks, so interaction with humans can cause them a lot of stress. Because of this, the government began to make laws against touching koalas, in the interest of animal protection, as well as public safety. So, if you see one in the wild, you shouldn't approach it to pick it up or even touch it.

它们真的很可爱，但事实是，考拉是非常敏感的生物，即使环境发生微小变化，它们也很容易惊慌失措。它们花了很多时间吃饭、睡觉和挂在树干上，因此与人类的互动会给它们带来很大的压力。正因为如此，为了动物保护和公共安全，政府开始制定禁止触摸考拉的法律。所以，如果你在野外看到一只，你不应该靠近它去把它抱起来，甚至触摸它。如果你想养一只考拉，你必须去某些有执照的动物园，在那里，动物专家会确保每次挑选的考拉都处于良好的状态，可以与人接触，而且只在有限的时间内和以有限的次数与人互动。
3. What do koalas spend most of their time doing
They spend quite a lot of time eating, sleeping, and hanging onto tree trunks.

Q：So, we've talked about some cute animals. What about animals which aren't so cute
+定从
所以，我们讨论了一些可爱的动物。那些不那么可爱的动物呢？
My favourite is a little creature called the Tasmanian devil. If you are out camping in Tasmania and come across one, the experience might scare you! Tasmanian devils hunt at night, so you won't usually see them, but you may hear their loud cries when they are fighting or eating. The noise they make could wake the dead. Frightening! They are about the size of small dogs and look like rather large black rats. They also have a terrible smell ! Their diet is mostly dead animals. Fortunately, despite their name, they are generally not violent towards people.

我最喜欢的是一种叫做塔斯马尼亚魔鬼的小动物。如果你在塔斯马尼亚露营，遇到一个，这种经历可能会吓到你！塔斯马尼亚魔鬼在夜间狩猎，所以你通常不会看到它们，但当它们打架或吃饭时，你可能会听到它们的叫声。他们发出的噪音能把死人叫醒。十分恐怖！它们大约有小狗那么大，看起来像很大的黑老鼠。它们还有一股难闻的气味！他们的饮食大多是死去的动物。幸运的是，尽管他们名为“恶魔”，但他们通常对人类没有攻击性。

Q：Australia also has some animals that many people have never heard of, for example, the duck billed platypus. Is that some kind of bird

听说
澳大利亚也有一些许多人从未听说过的动物，例如鸭嘴兽。那是什么鸟吗？
Not at all. While it may lay eggs in a nest like a bird, it's really a primitive mammal, with a unique biology. Its eggs hatch after about ten days, and then the baby platypus nurses from its mother like all other mammals. Its nose looks like a duck's bill, and it has feet like a duck's so it can dive under the water, but it's covered in hair.

一点也不。虽然它可能像鸟一样在窝里产卵，但它实际是一种原始的哺乳动物，有着独特的生物学特性。它的蛋大约十天后孵化，然后鸭嘴兽宝宝像所有其他哺乳动物一样由母亲身边哺乳。它的鼻子看起来像鸭嘴，脚像鸭子，所以它可以在水下潜水，但它浑身都是毛。你知道鸭嘴兽到底有什么奇怪的地方吗？鸭嘴兽不会用视觉或嗅觉来寻找食物。它有能力通过嘴里的电子传感器在水中寻找食物。世界上只有少数动物能做到这一点！

Sample 1
When talking about iconic animals in China, the first thing that comes to my mind is definitely the giant panda.
The panda is one of the rarest animals in the world. It is a large animal with black and white fur and lives in the mountains of China. People’s “black eyes” are compared to panda’s eyes. Looking quiet and lovely, it can actually be fierce (凶猛的). When it roars, the noise is like a train passing through a tunnel. Do you know how much it loves bamboo An adult panda eats 10-18 kilograms of bamboo each day. And it spends 12-16 hours a day finding and eating bamboo.
Serving as a peace ambassador, pandas have been sent to other countries as gifts, where they have received a warm welcome.
