少兒趣味英語故事,兔子(帶翻譯)

Ribbit

Hello, my name is Ribbit, I have a big family.There are 18 different types (scientists call them species) of rabbits and hares in the world. Some have famous names like "jackrabbit" and "cottontail." The rabbit and hare once were thought to be part of the rodent family (like mice)! But they have four front teeth – most rodents have two.

·I live on all the continents of the world except Antarctica. And although I live in Australia, it's not one of my native homes.
·I can live in all sorts of places with different climates and temperatures. They include plains, forests, snowy areas and even swamps.
·I usually make my home in shallow holes in the ground called burrows. I sometimes might use another animal's burrow instead of digging my own.
·Most people think I'm really cute. I often have large floppy ears, although they can be small and short too. I have a chubby body, short legs and thick, soft fur.
·I normally am shades of brown or gray all over, but my fur also can be white, black or even red.
·I can be less than a foot (10 inches, about 25 centimeters) long to almost 2 feet (20 inches, about 50 centimeters) long from nose to tail.
·I normally am pretty light but can get quite heavy, especially if I'm a pet. I've been known to get as heavy as 15 pounds (almost 7 kilograms).
·I eat a lot of grass and other plants. I'm often known for chewing on the leaves of plants in people's gardens.
·I'm speedy and can hop away from many enemies, especially humans.
·You would see me most often at sundown when it's getting dark. I might be alone or hanging out with friends in a group called a colony.

大家好，我的名字是兔子，我有一個大家族。世界上有18種不同類型的兔子（科學家稱之為物種）。有些兔子很有名，象“長耳大野兔”和“棉尾兔”。兔子曾被認為屬于嚙齒類動物（像老鼠一樣）！但是它們有四顆門牙，而大部分的嚙齒類動物只有兩顆。

·我住在世界上除南極洲以外的所有的陸地上。盡管我生活在澳大利亞，但我的家決不只有這一處。
·我能生活在具有不同氣候和溫度的各種各樣的地方，包括平原，森林，雪地，甚至沼澤地。
·我通常把家安在地里的淺洞中，稱為“洞穴”。有時我會用其他動物的洞穴而不是自己挖。
·大多數人認為我聰明伶俐。我通常有一幅大大的耷拉的耳朵，有時也可能又小又短。我還有一個渾圓的身體，短腿和又厚又軟的皮毛。
·一般我全身棕色或灰色，但我的毛也可能是白色，黑色，甚至紅色。
·我可能不足一英尺長（10英寸，約25厘米），也可能從鼻子到尾巴將近二英尺長（20英寸，約50厘米）。
