　　古往今來有許許多多的人物偏愛於老虎,他們覺得老虎是一種唯美的動物。老虎之美,美在它的王者風範,美在霸氣。下面是小編帶來的，歡迎閱讀!

　　篇一

　　生活中的對手

　　Jaguar is an endangered animal. It is said that there are less than 20 jaguars in the world currently, one of which is now living in the national zoo of Peru. In order to protect this jaguar, Peruvians singled out a pitch of land in the zoo for it, where there are herds of cattle, sheep and deer for the jaguar to eat. Anyone who has visited the zoo praised it to be the “Heaven of Tiger”. However, strange enough, no one has ever seen the jaguar prey on the cattle and sheep. What we could see is its lying in its house eating and sleeping.

　　美洲虎是一種瀕臨滅絕的動物，據說，目前世界上僅存不足20只，其中有一隻現在就生活在祕魯的國家動物園裡。為了保護這隻美洲虎，祕魯人在動物園裡單獨 為它圈出一塊地來，且圈地中有成群的牛、羊、鹿供老虎享用。參觀過虎園的人都驚歎地稱這裡是“虎的天堂”。然而，令人感到非常奇怪的是，沒有人看見這隻老虎去 捕捉牛羊，唯一能見到的就是它躺在它的虎房裡重複著吃與睡的情景。

　　Some people thought that the jaguar felt too lonely, so they collected money and rented a female tiger to accompany it. Nonetheless, it did not make too much sense. The jaguar just sometimes went out of its house with its “girlfriend” and stayed in the sun for a while before it came back to its house again.

　　一些人認為肯定是美洲虎太孤獨了，於是就集資從國外租來一隻雌虎陪它生 活。然而此舉並未帶來多大改觀，那隻老虎只是偶爾陪伴外來的“女友”走出虎房， 到陽光下站一會兒,不久就又回到它的“臥室”。

　　“It is normal for the jaguar to be lazy in this environment. Tiger is the king of forest but you simply put some small animals around him. That is why the jaguar shows no interest in going out. Why don’t you put two wolves or at least a jackal around him?” A visitor proposed.

　　“在這種環境下，美洲虎不懶散才怪呢!虎是林中之王，你們在它周圍放這麼一群小動物， 它怎麼可能有興趣走出來?為什麼你們不放上兩 只狼呢，即使不放狼，至少也得放一隻豺狗吧?” 一位來此參觀的市民建議道。

　　Others all agreed with him and put five panthers into the jaguar’s territory. Since then, the jaguar did not go back to its house any more. It either stands on top of the hill roaring or goes down from the hill strolling without sleeping all day long. It did not eat the meat provided by the zoo staff and has totally got back to its nature.

　　其他人都覺得他說得很有道理，就把5只美 洲豹投進了虎園。結果就是，自那以後，美洲虎就 再沒回過虎房。它不是站在山頂長嘯，就是從山 上下來，在草地上游蕩;它不再整日睡覺，也不再吃動物園的管理員送來的肉,它恢 復了虎的本性。

　　Actually, this principle does not only apply to animals, but also apply to human beings. Here is another story. There was a rich man who was selecting a husband for his only child among a multitude of pursuers. The man led all the pursuers to a river and pointed to the crocodiles, saying, “Anyone who can swim across the river safe and sound will marry my daughter.” Those pursuers looked at each other and no one dare take the initiative. At that moment, a man plunged into the river bravely and swam at a staggering speed to the other side. All the people applauded for his courage with great sense of admiration. Nevertheless, the man, after landing on the bank, shouted angrily, “Who pushed me into the river just now?”

　　其實，不只是動物，人也如此。有這樣一則故事:一個富人為其獨生女兒選婿，， 而求婚者眾多。於是這個富人將所有的求婚者帶到一條河邊，指著河裡的鱷魚說 道如果誰能夠安全地游到對岸,我就會把我的女兒嫁給他。”這些追求者們你看 看我，我看看你，沒有人敢跳進河裡。正在這時，突然有一個男子“撲通”一聲很勇敢 地跳了下去，然後以超乎尋常的速度游到對岸。所有的人對這名勇氣十足的男子投 以欽佩和羨慕的目光。沒想到，這個男子上岸後，生氣地大聲問道剛才是誰把我 推下河去的?”

　　Maybe the man, after thinking of the whole process and the good consequence he is going to obtain, will feel obliged to the one who pushed him into the river. It is fairly common that disadvantages will turn into advantages and misfortunes into fortunes! But many of us cannot manage to realize the significance of our “rivals” to our success. Generally speaking, many people will see the one who “pushes him into the river” as an opponent. However, if you think in a deeper sense, you will realize that it is also a blessing and opportunity to have someone like that! It is the one who “pushes you into the river” who makes you feel the sense of crisis and stimulates your ambition and desire to strive! You will resolve to eliminate all difficulties and progress to another stage of your life!

　　或許那位男子在回頭想想整件事情的經過後，會有很大的收穫，也會很感謝那 位推他下河的人。把不利變有利，將壞事變好事，這樣的例子在現實屢見不鮮。但很 少有人能認識到造成這個結果的那個“對手”在此之中所起的重要作用。一般講來， 多數人都會把推他“下河”的人視做敵人，不過你只要往深處想想就會發現，這未嘗 不是一種福分、一種機遇。有這樣一推你“下河”的人的存在，會促使你產生危機 感，從而激發你更加旺盛的精神和鬥志!你會下定決心排除一切艱難險阻,在前行 路上躍上一個更髙的舞臺!

　　In our world, one creature without any rivals is a lifeless creature. If a man lives without rivals, he is bound to be satisfied with the present and will not strive for the better. He would hold back before all difficulties and decline in inaction and laziness. Adverse environment tends to cultivate successful people. Therefore, your rivals are not your opponents or those you grudge. Instead, they are your good friends! In our lives, we need some rivals to “push us into the river”，leaving us striving ahead in all difficulties and competitions. In our work, we need some rivals to be picky about us and supervise our work with rigorous requirements and standards. Due to our rivals, we can bring out our potential to the best; Due to our rivals, we will continuously promote our capabilities when competing with them!

　　在這個優勝劣汰的世界，任何一種生物，假如沒有了對手，必將變得死氣沉沉。 假如一個人沒有了對手，他就會變得安於現狀,不思進取。以後遇到困難,他會畏 縮，最終在怠惰和沒落中消沉。逆境往往造就成功，因此，對手不是你的敵人,而是 你的浄友、摯友,你不必嫉恨他。人生中,我們需要一些對手推自己“下河”,讓自己 無論路遇多少艱難競爭，也會奮勇向前。在工作中，我們需要一些對手，對自己百般 挑剔，督促你發現不足，嚴要求，高標準。有了對手，我們就會把自己的潛能發揮到 極致;有了對手，我們就會在與對手的比拼中不斷提高自身能力，站得更高更遠!

　　The jaguar

　　美洲虎

　　The jaguar has his home in the New World. He lives in the great forests of South America.

　　美洲虎分佈在新世界，住在南美洲的大森林裡。

　　His skin is covered with dark spots, something like the leopard's, and he may be called theleopard of America.

　　美洲虎身上覆蓋著黑點，這與美洲豹身上的黑點類似。人們也稱其為住在美洲的美洲豹。

　　The favourite food of the jaguar is the flesh of the monkey; but he finds it no easy task tocatch the nimble monkeys.

　　美洲虎最愛吃猴子的肉，但要抓住敏捷的猴子談何容易。

　　Sometimes, however, he finds them sleeping high up on the trees; and then he steals amongthem before they are aware that he is near.

　　然而，有時候，猴子們在高高的樹上沉睡時，美洲虎會悄悄靠近，等猴子們意識到危險，美洲虎已經得到美味了。

　　A few strokes of his terrible paw soon dashes some of them to the ground. The jaguar thendescends, to feast at his leisure.

　　它只要揮幾下令人膽寒的爪子，就能把一些猴子打落在地，隨後它會從樹上跳下，享用大餐。

　　Travellers in the forests often hear the fierce roar of the jaguar, mingled with the yells of themonkeys. These sounds tell of the deadly work that is going on among the trees.

　　遊客們經常能在森林裡聽到美洲虎的咆哮，夾雜著猴子的尖叫。這些聲音表明，在某棵樹上又有猴子成為美洲虎的盤中餐。

　　The jaguar also feeds on other animals, and is strong enough to kill a deer or a horse.

　　美洲虎也吃其它動物，它很強，能殺死一隻鹿或一匹馬。

　　If any animal pursued by the jaguar should take to the water, that makes no difference to him.He plunges into the water after it, and soon seizes his prey.

　　如果美洲虎追捕的動物跳進水裡，那也是跑不掉的。它會跳進水裡繼續追捕，很快就能抓住獵物。

　　The jaguar is also fond of fish, and watches for them by the river-side.

　　美洲虎也喜歡吃魚，經常在岸邊潛伏。

　　As soon as a fish comes within reach, he strikes it with his paw, and with his sharp claws hethrows it on the bank.

　　只要有魚在它的攻擊範圍內，他就會用爪子攻擊，將魚拋到岸上。

　　He catches birds too; and so quick are his movements, that he will bound within reach of a bird,and strike it down before it has time to escape.

　　美洲虎也能捕鳥。它動作非常迅捷，跳起攻擊在範圍內的鳥，而小鳥沒有機會逃走。

　　篇三

　　為什麼獅子老虎的聲音適於咆哮?

　　For many potential entrée animals this [sound of lion roar] is one of the scariest sounds around. Scientists long thought the lion's distinctive roar was due to thick layers of fat inside the vocal cords. But new research suggests that it's not the fat that makes the roar, it's the shape of the vocal cords themselves.

　　獅子的咆哮聲對可能被它拿來打牙祭的動物來說是最可怕的聲音。長期以來，科學家認為獅子擁有獨特的咆哮聲是因為它的聲帶裡有厚厚的脂肪層。但新的研究宣稱咆哮聲並不是脂肪造成的，而是由於聲帶本身的形狀。

　　Most animals have triangular vocal cords. But the lion's mighty pipes are square. Tigers’ too. That square shape allows the tissue to withstand more stretching, which lets the big cats create louder roars using lower lung pressure. The finding is the journal Public Library of Science ONE. [Sarah Klemuk et al., "Adapted to Roar: Functional Morphology of Tiger and Lion Vocal Folds"]

　　多數動物的聲帶是三角形的。但獅子強有力的聲帶是方形的。老虎的也是如此。方形可以使聲帶組織承受更大幅度的伸展，由此大型貓科動物可以在肺部施加較小壓力的情況下發出更大的咆哮聲。以上發現刊登在公共科學圖書館期刊。***《適於咆哮：對於老虎和獅子聲帶的功能形態學研究》作者：Sarah Klemuk及其他人***

　　When we say loud, we mean loud. Lion roars can travel over five miles, and reach up to 114 decibels, which is as loud as a jet airplane taking off. The researchers suggest that the fat is there to cushion the cords, and to provide tissue for repair if the cords get damaged.

　　我們不僅在說聲音大，而且高。獅子的咆哮聲可傳出5英里遠並且能達到114分貝，可以與噴氣式飛機起飛的聲音相媲美。研究者認為聲帶中的脂肪可起緩衝作用，而且在聲帶受損的時候為恢復提供組織材料。

　　Understanding how that repair happens might help doctors fix damaged vocal cords in humans, too. Which would have to be called a roaring success.

　　瞭解恢復是如何發生也可以幫助醫生修復人類的聲帶損傷。這可以說是由咆哮聲帶來的巨大成就。
