一只海獭将一个巨藻紧紧地抱在怀里,睡着 了。巨藻也喜欢被海獭抱着。突然,海獭醒 了,并四处张望。
A sea otter is holding a branch of kelp tightly in her arms. She is asleep. The kelp just loves to be embraced by the otter. Suddenly the sea otter wakes up and looks around.
早上好,巨藻说,亲爱的朋友,我期 待与你度过每一天,这让我保持健康和快 乐。 噢,醒来后能听到一个可爱的声音告诉我 说,我在把自己的事情做好时,也能帮助到 你,这真是太好了!海獭高兴地回答道。
Good morning, says the kelp. I am looking forward to another day with you, my dear friend, keeping me healthy and happy. Oh, it is so nice to wake up and to hear a lovely voice telling me that I am doing good for you by doing good for me, responds the otter.
你做的事情对我的帮助可大了!如果你不 把海胆、海螺、鲍鱼、海蟹甚至鱼类吃掉, 我将永远无法生长成林! 我得承认我的胃口确实有点大。为了跟上 我快节奏的生活,我每天需要吃自己体重十 分之一重量的食物。
You are doing so much good for me. If you were not filling your belly with sea urchins, snails, abalone, crabs, and even fish, I would never be able to grow into a forest! I must admit I do have a good appetite. In order to keep up with the fast pace of my life, I need to eat a quarter of my body weight every day.
