One day， a couple decide to go to the zoo to spend their weekend.

有一天，一對(duì)夫婦決定去動(dòng)物園度過他們的周末。

They drive and drive but lose their way on a vast grassland. Suddenly， a baby giraffe passes by.

他們不停地開著車，但在一片廣闊的大草原上迷失了方向。突然，有一只小長(zhǎng)頸鹿經(jīng)過。

The man opens up the window and asks： “Eh...Excuse me？ Do you know where is the entrance of the zoo？”

那個(gè)先生打開車窗問道：“嗯，打擾一下，你知道動(dòng)物園的入口在哪嗎？”

“The zoo？ What is a ‘zoo？ Can you spell it for me？” The baby giraffe gives a very confused look.

“動(dòng)物園？‘動(dòng)物園是什么？你能幫我寫一下嗎？”那只小長(zhǎng)頸鹿看起來很困惑。

The couple are surprised： “The zoo， z-o-o is a place where animals live together. And people can watch them through the windows.”

那對(duì)夫婦十分驚訝，“動(dòng)物園，‘動(dòng)—物—園是一個(gè)動(dòng)物生活在一起的地方，人們可以通過窗戶看到它們?！?img alt="" src="https://cimg.fx361.com/images/2018/06/04/qkimagesyyqjyyqj201804yyqj20180408-5-l.jpg"/>

“Well...I have no idea what it is but here is my home. I live here with my family and friends. I enjoy my breakfast with birds， taking shower with hippos and hanging out with zebras. We love here！”

“嗯，我還是不懂那是什么地方，但這里是我家。我和我的家人、朋友生活在這里。我喜歡和小鳥一起吃早餐，和河馬一起洗澡，和斑馬一起出去玩。我們喜歡這里！”

“I dont know what is the zoo but I bet you will have much more fun here！Why not get out of the car and enjoy the great sunshine with us？”

“我不知道什么是動(dòng)物園，但我敢打賭，你會(huì)在這里玩得更開心！為什么不從車?yán)锍鰜恚臀覀円黄鹣硎苓@明媚的陽光呢？”

The couple agree without thinking， “That would be a wonderful idea！Thanks for inviting us！” The couple and the animals spend a special week-end together and they become best friends ever after.

這對(duì)夫婦不假思索地同意了：“那真是一個(gè)絕妙的主意！謝謝你邀請(qǐng)我們！”這對(duì)夫婦和動(dòng)物們一起度過了一個(gè)特別的周末，他們從此成為了最好的朋友。
