Jeremy: Yeah,the map says so. I never saw a giant panda in person.
杰里米: 是的，地圖上是這么說的。我從來沒有親眼見過大熊貓。
Anna: Me neither. I'm so thrilled!
安娜: 我也沒有。我太激動了!

杰里米: 噢,瞧! 一只大熊貓正在樹頂上休息!
Anna: Wow! How adorable! I wonder how it got up there.
安娜: 哇! 多么可愛! 我想知道它是怎么爬上去的。
Jeremy: Well,pandas are pretty good at climbing trees. Look! Here is another panda chowing down on bamboo shoots.
杰里米:嗯，熊貓很擅長爬樹?？? 這有另一只正在吃竹筍的熊貓。
Anna: Oh I see it. The way it eats bamboo is so cute.
安娜: 哦，我看到了。它吃竹子的樣子真可愛。
Jeremy: Yeah,and don't get too excited. We'll see some red pandas later. Some people think they're even cuter than pandas.

Anna: But what are they anyway? Have you seen them before?
安娜: 但它們到底是什么? 你以前見過他們嗎?
Jeremy: Oh no,not in person. But I've seen them on the Discovery Channel. They have reddish-brown fur and long shaggy tails.
杰里米: 哦，不，不是當(dāng)面。但我在探索頻道看過。它們有紅棕色的皮毛和毛茸茸的長尾巴。

安娜: 聽起來它們和普通的熊貓很不一樣。
Jeremy: Uh-huh. They're comepletely two different species.
杰里米: 嗯。它們可能是兩個完全不同的物種。
Anna: Got it! I have to say that pandas always look so relaxed. I kinda envy them,you know? It seems that all they need to do is sit around and eat all the time.
安娜: 明白了! 我不得不說熊貓看起來總是那么放松。我有點羨慕他們，你知道嗎?似乎他們所需要做的就是坐在一起，一直吃東西。
Jeremy: Well,if human beings were on the verge of extinction,we may be bred in captivity like pandas.
杰里米: 嗯，如果人類瀕臨滅絕，我們可能會像熊貓一樣被圈養(yǎng)。
