Lee and the teacher are speaking about animals

李和老師在討論動物

Lee

I want to learn everything about animals. How can I do that?

Teacher

Well, you can learn from people, from television and from books. You can really learn a lot from books. I think those books over there will tell you a lot of what you want to know about animals. Why don’t you go and read one of them?

Lee

Yes, I will. I’ll read one this afternoon. If I see words I don’t understand, can I come and see you so you can help me with the new words?

Teacher

Yes, you can. And if you have any questions, you can ask me. I will answer your questions if I can. But remember, I don’t know everything. Nobody knows everything.

Lee

Thank you.

Teacher

Let me show you the books. These yellow books here are about animals in zoos. Those pink books over there are about animals on farms.

Lee

Oh yes, I see. This book here has a lot about snakes. I want to learn everything about snakes. I really like snakes.

Teacher

Lee! Nobody likes snakes!

Lee

Well, I do. I think snakes are really beautiful! I want to have a snake at home so I can play with it, but Mommy and Daddy won’t let me.

Teacher

I think your mommy and daddy are right, Lee. Now, please read two or three pages of this book. When you finish, come and see me and I will ask you some questions.

李

我想學習關於動物的一切。我怎樣才能做到呢？

老師

嗯，你可以向別人請教，從電視和書本中學習。你可以從書中學到很多。我想那裡那些書會告訴你很多你想要了解的有關動物的信息。你為什麼不去拿一本看看呢？

李

好的，我會去的。今天下午我要看一本。如果我看到有不理解的詞語，我能來找您幫忙嗎？

老師

當然可以。有任何問題，你都可以問我。如果我知道，我會告訴你答案。但是要記住，我不是什麼都知道的。沒有人無所不知。

李

謝謝您。

老師

我給你看看這些書。這裡這些黃色的書是有關動物園裡的動物的，那裡那些粉紅色的書是有關農場裡的動物的。

李

好的，我知道了。這裡這本書有很多關於蛇的內容。我想了解關於蛇的一切，我真的喜歡蛇。

老師

李！沒有人喜歡蛇！

李

可是我喜歡。我認為蛇真的非常漂亮！我想在家養一條，這樣我就可以和它玩了，但是爸爸媽媽不會允許。

老師

我認為你的爸爸媽媽是對的，李。現在，請你看兩三頁這本書。你讀完之後來找我，我會問你一些問題。
