HOW DAISY LEARNED TO HELP WILDLIFE（Daisy如何学习去帮助野生动物）这篇文章出自人教版高一英语下册Unit 4 Wildlife protection必修听力，全文如下：
Daisy had always longed to help endangered species of wildlife. One day she woke up and found a flying carpet by her bed. "Where do you want to go?" it asked. Daisy responded immediately. "I'd like to see some endangered wildlife," she said. "Please take me to a distant land where I can find the animal that gave fur to make this sweater."
Daisy常常渴望去帮助濒临灭绝的野生动物。一天她醒来发现一个飞毯在她包里。“你想去哪里？”飞毯问。Daisy立刻回答它：“我想去看那些濒临灭绝的野生动物，”她说。“请带我去那个我可以找到供给皮毛去制造这件毛衣的动物的地方。”
At once the carpet flew away and took her to Tibet. There Daisy saw an antelope looking sad. It said, "We're being killed for the wool beneath our stomachs. Our fur is being used to make sweaters for people like you. As a result, we are now an endangered species."
飞毯立刻带她飞去了西藏。在那里Daisy看到了一只看起来很伤心的羚羊。羚羊说：“为了我们肚子下的毛，我们被杀是害。我们的皮毛被人类用来制造像你这样的毛衣。因此，现在我们是一种濒临灭绝的物种。”
At that Daisy cried, "I'm sorry I didn't know that. I wonder what is being done to help you. Flying carpet, please show me a place where there's some wildlife protection."
然后Daisy哭着说：“我很抱歉我不知道这些。我想知道什么可以被做来帮助你们。飞毯，请带我去一个有一些野生动物保护区的地方。”
The flying carpet travelled so fast that next minute they were in Zimbabwe. Daisy turned around and found that she was being watched by an elephant. "Have you come to take my photo?" it asked.In relief Daisy burst into laughter.
飞毯飞得如此的快，以至于他们下一分钟就在津巴布韦。Daisy转过身发现她被一头大象盯着。“你过来跟我照相吗？”大象问。Daisy松了口气突然笑起来。
"Don't laugh,"said the elephant, "We used to be an endangered species. Farmers hunted us without mercy. They said we destroyed their farms, and money from tourists only went to the large tour companies.
“不要笑，”大象说，“我们曾经是濒临灭绝的物种。农民很不仁慈地猎杀我们。他们说我们破坏了他们的田地，和那些只去大的旅游公司的游客的钱。
So the government decided to help. They allowed tourists to hunt only a certain number of animals if they paid the farmers. Now the farmers are happy and our numbers are increasing. So good things are being done here to save local wildlife."
所以政府决定去帮助我们。他们允许游客给钱农民，然后可以去猎杀一定数量的动物。现在农民很高兴，而且我们的数量在增加。所以好事情正在被做用于营救当地的野生动物。”
Daisy smiled. "That's good news. It shows the importance of wildlife protection, but I'd like to help as the WWF suggests." The carpet rose again and almost at once they were in a thick rainforest. A monkey watched them as it rubbed itself.
Daisy微笑了。“那是个好消息。它展示了保护野生动物的重要性，不过我喜欢像世界自然基金会建议的那样去帮助野生动物。”飞毯再次升起然后几乎同一时间，他们到达了一个热带雨林。一只一边抓挠着自己，一边看着他们。
"What are you doing?" asked Daisy. ” I’m protecting myself from mosquitoes," it replied. "When I find a millipede insect, I rub it over my body. It contains a powerful drug which affects mosquitoes. You should pay more attention to the rainforest where I live and appreciate how the animals live together. No rainforest, no animals, no drugs."
“你在干什么？”Daisy问。“我在保护自己不受蚊子的伤害，”猴子回答。“当我找到一只千足虫昆虫，我会在我身上摩擦它。它含有一种强大的可以阻碍蚊子的药性。你应该更加注意我们居住的热带雨林，并好好看看动物们如何居住在一起。没有雨林，没有动物，没有药物。”
Daisy was amazed. "Flying carpet, please take me home so I can tell WWF and we can begin producing this new drug. Monkey, please come and help." The monkey agreed.
Daisy很惊讶。“飞毯，请带我回家这样我可以联系世界自然基金会，并开始生产这种新的药物。猴子，请过来帮忙。”那猴子同意了。
The carpet flew home. As they landed, things began to disappear. Two minutes later everything had gone - the monkey, too. So Daisy was not able to make her new drug. But what an experience! She had learned so much! And there was always WWF ...
飞毯飞回家了。当他们降落时，事物开始消失了。两分钟后所有东西都消失了-那只猴子也是。所以Daisy不能去制造她的新药物。不过如此的一段经历！她已经学习了那么多！以及一直都有的世界自然基金会。
