本课插图:A Garden for Night Visitors

先听一遍

听听傍晚观察时,学生看到什么,又有什么没有贸然断定。

Our school garden looked empty after sunset. The flowers were still open, but the bees we saw during the day were gone. One evening, our teacher asked us to sit quietly near the window and watch.

A small moth landed on a pale flower. It moved to another flower, then vanished into the dark. We could not tell from one visit whether it carried pollen, so we wrote only what we saw.

The next week, we drew a simple map of the flowers and the lights nearby. We wanted to learn which visitors came at different times. The plants had not moved between afternoon and evening. Our way of looking at the garden had changed.

日落后,校园花园看起来空荡荡的。花仍然开着,白天见到的蜜蜂却不见了。一天傍晚,老师让我们安静地坐在窗边观察。

一只小飞蛾落在颜色浅的花上,又飞向另一朵,随后消失在夜色里。只观察这一次,我们无法判断它有没有带走花粉,便只记下亲眼所见。

第二周,我们画了一张简图,标出了花朵和附近的灯。我们想知道不同时段会有哪些访客。花园里的植物从下午到傍晚并没有移动;改变的是我们观察花园的方式。

背景知识
