Dr. Jane Goodall is a famous specialist1 in studying wild animals, especially in chimps2. She is a kind, modest and outspoken3 woman.
簡(jiǎn)·古道爾博士是一位著名的野生動(dòng)物研究專家,尤其是在研究黑猩猩方面。她是一位善良、謙遜而又坦誠(chéng)的女性。
In her childhood, she came across a book called Tarzan and Dr. Doolittle by chance. Jane was greatly inspired4 by it and hoped to study animals one day. At that time, women were often looked down on and only her mother was for her decision. In the 1960s, Jane moved off to Africa to study chimps, where she spent more than 25 years in observing5 and recording their daily activities and fully understood chimps behaviour.
在她還是個(gè)孩子的時(shí)候,她偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)了一本名為《泰山和杜利特爾博士》的書。簡(jiǎn)受到極大的鼓舞,希望有一天能研究動(dòng)物。在那個(gè)時(shí)代,女性經(jīng)常被歧視,只有她母親支持她。在20世紀(jì)60年代,簡(jiǎn)動(dòng)身去非洲研究黑猩猩。她花了超過(guò)25年的時(shí)間觀察和記錄黑猩猩的日?;顒?dòng),終于完全弄懂了黑猩猩的行為。
Setting up several organizations6 and taking up a campaign7 to protect animals have made her famous all over the world. In recent years, Jane has given speeches to call on younger people to take part in her project “Root and Shoot”.
她先后成立了幾個(gè)組織,并發(fā)起了一項(xiàng)保護(hù)動(dòng)物的活動(dòng),因此名聞天下。近年來(lái),簡(jiǎn)還先后在世界各地演講,呼吁年青一代參加“根與芽”的活動(dòng)。
Such is Jane Goodall, who is awarded many prizes for her great achievements8.
這就是簡(jiǎn)·古道爾——由于她卓越的貢獻(xiàn),她被授予了多個(gè)獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)。
