from News For Kids · host ICRT

Hi everyone, today I want to talk to you about an animal called a walrus… Walrus… 海象。 They have long teeth called tusks, a bit like an elephant. 海象有長長的牙齒,有點兒像大象。 They love the water and swimming, and they can grow really big! 牠們非常的愛玩水,游泳,而且身體會長很大ㄛ! One walrus called Wally the Walrus, likes to visit a harbor in Ireland. 有一頭名叫Wally的海象,喜歡去愛爾蘭的海港。 But big Wally is causing big problems. 但是大Wally造成大問題。 When Wally wants to take a rest, he sometimes crawls up onto peoples' boats. But Wally is really heavy! Sometimes Wally breaks things and even sinks the boats! Wally 累了想要休息,會爬上一艘船,但是牠太重了,有時候會把船弄破,甚至把船弄沉! The people want to help Wally the Walrus but they don't want him to sink their boats! So next time Wally comes to the harbor, they will give him a special sofa that floats on the water! Wally下次再來海港,要給牠會漂浮的沙發!
