1 A white lion living in Guangzhou Zoo has recently become the talk of the town after it was spotted wearing an unusual hairstyle—a choppy fringe （劉海） spreading across its forehead. The white lion， which is also known as the Albino African Lion， is a rare subspecies （亞種） of the Kruger Lion from Africa.

2 The lion， whose name is Hang Hang， was born in 2009 and was sent to Guangzhou Zoo in 2015. Photos of the lion were first released on May 29， when a Weibo user uploaded several photos of the lion with its fringe， leading many to think that the zookeepers had given it a rather fashionable haircut.

3 While most netizens were amused by the lions fringe， some expressed concern as they believed the haircut might cause the lion to develop an inferiority complex （自卑情結(jié)） as it made it look less majestic （威嚴(yán)的）. Malaysians also joined into the fun， asking what kind of conditioners （護(hù)發(fā)素） the lion had used to achieve such smooth hair and wondering how it was more fashionable than they were.

4 In response to the public reaction， an employee at the zoo clarified that the staff would never dare to give a lion a haircut and that its hair was drooping （垂下） due to humid weather in Guangzhou. “The shape of his fringe isnt fixed， so sometimes it will be ‘styled up’ a little by Hang Hang himself，” he said.

5 A spokesperson from the zoo also pointed out that wildlife conservation was vital to the preservation of the ecosystem， especially when it comes to species such as Hang Hangs， who are often hunted down for their rarity.

?語言學(xué)習(xí)

Ⅰ. 語料薈萃

Ⅱ. 語句分析

1. Photos of the lion were first released on May 29， when a Weibo user uploaded several photos of the lion with its fringe， leading many to think that the zookeepers had given it a rather fashionable haircut. 這頭獅子的照片于5月29日首次發(fā)布，當(dāng)時一位微博用戶上傳了幾張這頭獅子留著劉海的照片，以致許多人認(rèn)為動物園管理員給它做了個相當(dāng)時髦的發(fā)型。

【點石成金】Photos of the lion were first released on May 29是主句；when a Weibo user uploaded several...fringe是非限制性定語從句，修飾May 29； leading many to think...haircut是V?ing形式作結(jié)果狀語；that the zookeepers had given...haircut是that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句。

2. Malaysians also joined into the fun， asking what kind of conditioners the lion had used to achieve such smooth hair and wondering how it was more fashionable than they were. 馬來西亞人也加入了這項有趣的活動，（他們）詢問這頭獅子使用了什么護(hù)發(fā)素來獲得如此光滑的毛發(fā)，并想知道這頭獅子是如何比他們更時尚的。

【點石成金】Malaysians also joined into the fun是句子的主干，asking...and wondering...were是V?ing形式短語作狀語，what和how引導(dǎo)的句子分別作asking和wondering的賓語。

3. A spokesperson from the zoo also pointed out that wildlife conservation was vital to the preservation of the ecosystem， especially when it comes to species such as Hang Hangs， who are often hunted down for their rarity. 動物園發(fā)言人還指出，野生動物保護(hù)對生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的保護(hù)至關(guān)重要，尤其是對于像杭杭這樣的物種，它們經(jīng)常因為稀有而被捕殺。

【點石成金】A spokesperson from the zoo also pointed out是主句，that引導(dǎo)的是賓語從句，when引導(dǎo)的是時間狀語從句，who引導(dǎo)的是非限制性定語從句。
