Some animals are smarter than humans. Take the intelligent dolphin as an example. After just a few weeks in captivity, it can train humans to throw it fish.
Notes:
1. Some animals are smarter than humans.
有一些動物比人類還聰明。
“human”和“human being"都是指“人類”。但前者通常是相對于動物而言的;后者更強調(diào)有血有肉有感情的人類,因為being是表示生命的存在。
2. Take the intelligent dolphin as an example.
以聰明的海豚為例。
句中的“as an example”也可以寫成for example。
3. After just a few weeks in captivity, it can train humans to throw it fish.
只要幾個星期的囚禁之后,它就可以訓練人類扔魚給它。
在海豚看來,也許它們覺得是它們在訓練人類,只要他們轉(zhuǎn)圈、跳高,人類就會喂它們魚。
