A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
动物园
Zoo
There is a better reason for studying zoology than its possible ‘usefulness’, and the general likeableness of animals. This reason is that we animals are the most complicated and perfectly designed pieces of machinery in the known universe. Put it like that, and it is hard to see why anybody studies anything else!
研究动物学有一个比它可能的“有用性”和动物的普遍可爱性更好的理由。这是因为我们动物是已知宇宙中最复杂、设计最完美的机器。这么说吧，很难理解为什么有人要学习其他东西!
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
You know, if you have a zoo you don't want the other creatures to see you. You want them to hang out and act properly and, you know, when the monkeys will come and ask for the bananas, they won't act like monkeys. If you want them to act on what their true nature is, you've got to leave them alone.
如果你有一个动物园，你不想让其他动物看到你。你想让他们出去玩，举止得体，你知道，当猴子来要香蕉时，他们不会表现得像猴子一样。如果你想让他们按照他们的本性行事，你就得让他们自己待着。
Zoos are becoming facsimiles - or perhaps caricatures - of how animals once were in their natural habitat. If the right policies toward nature were pursued, we would need no zoos at all.
动物园正在变成动物曾经在自然栖息地生活的复制品——或者可能是漫画。如果对自然采取正确的政策，我们就根本不需要动物园了。
As you may know, some of the stereotyped behaviors exhibited by autistic children are also found in zoo animals who are raised in a barren environment.
你可能知道，自闭症儿童表现出来的一些刻板行为也存在于在贫瘠环境中长大的动物园动物身上。
Anybody can be a great photographer if they zoom in enough on what they love.
任何人都可以成为一个伟大的摄影师，如果他们足够放大他们的爱。
People go to the zoo and they like the lion because it's scary. And the bear because it's intense, but the monkey makes people laugh.
人们去动物园，他们喜欢狮子，因为它很可怕。还有熊，因为它很紧张，但是猴子让人发笑。
A race is what zoologists term a variety or subdivision of a species.
人种是动物学家所说的一个物种的变种或细分。
