论文部分内容阅读
I am an elephant, not a telephone. Elephants live on the plain or in the zoo. But where are telephones? They are on the table in your living room, in the pocket of your jacket, or in the phone box on the street. I just don’t know why so many people call us “telephone”? Can’t they tell us from them?
OK. Please don’t call me “a telephone”, or an elephant. I’m more than an elephant. My name is Ellie, an African elephant. Eric is my brother. He often tells me that the African elephants are the biggest animals on land. He always eats a lot and he likes eating bark, leaves and weeds. He hopes to be a real African elephant, with a big strong body. Being a girl, I can’t eat as much as my brother. But I also want to be a lady African elephant with beautiful teeth. You know teeth are very important to us. Our African elephants all have long white teeth. They keep growing, become longer with age. Now my teeth are only 50cm long. I believe, they can grow longer, longer and longer when I grow up.
I am Ellie, an African elephant, more than an “elephant”, and certainly not a “telephone”. Don’t get it wrong. Otherwise I will be angry with you.
我是大象，不是电话。大象生活在平原上或者是在动物园里。可电话呢？它们要么在客厅的桌子上，要么在你的上衣口袋里，再不然就是在大街上的电话亭里。真不明白为什么就是有那么多人要叫我们“电话”？难道就是分辨不出？
好了，反正别叫我电话，也别叫我大象。我不仅仅是头象，我叫Ellie，还是一头非洲象呢。Eric是我哥。他常常对我说我们非洲象是陆地上最大的动物。他总是吃得很多，他喜欢吃树皮、树叶和野草。他希望自己也能成为一头强壮的真正的非洲象。作为一名女孩，我当然不能像我哥那样吃那么多。可我也想当一名拥有漂亮牙齿的非洲母象呀。你们知道，牙齿对于我们来说是非常重要的。我们非洲象都有又长又白的牙齿，它们随着我们的年龄不断生长。现在我的象牙只有50厘米长，但是我相信等我长大了，它们会长得很长很长。
我是Ellie，一头非洲象，非一般大象，更加不是什么“电话”。可千万别再叫错我，不然我可会不高兴的哦！
