第一部分 強壯 brawny
北極熊
There’s nothing to eat. Let’s have a little wrestling match.
Ha! You can’t beat me! You didn’t think I was this brawny, did you?
Okay, okay! I give up!! Uncle! Uncle!
Child: Mommy! I’m bored. Can’t I go out and play?
Mother: No, just stay here for now. Ooh, you’re so cute. Ooh, Mommy loves you.
Child: Ha-ha! That tickles!
Mother: Stay close behind me, son. Don’t go running off. There are bad bears in this area.
Lone bear: Heh-heh. The “bad bear” she’s talking about is me. I look like a pretty suspicious characters, eh? I’m so hungry I could eat a bear. A baby polar bear, in fact!
Mother: See? There he is. Just stay close to me and you’ll be okay. He won’t dare come near you as long as I’m here.
I’m the king of the North, the fearsome brawny Polar Bear. My fur is snowy white, but my skin is black. I like to eat seals. And my sense of smell is very sensitive. I can smell a seal from over ten miles away. But right now the seals have all taken refuge on the bank on the other side. The river ice has thawed, so I can’t walk over to the other side and have a tasty feast. Oh well, I can just dig up a little bit of seaweed for a snack.
片子中提到北極熊的嗅覺非常靈敏
extraordinary sense of smell,能聞到10英里外的海豹,真夠厲害的。
我還知道熊的一個長處,我先問問你們知道熊跑起來有多快麼
跟豬差不多吧。
反正不會很快,應該沒我跑得快吧。
熊奔跑起來速度很快
看似笨拙的灰熊跑起來速度能達到48公里/時 和馬不相上下
因為熊是強壯威猛的象徵,羅馬軍隊由身披熊皮的旗手引領着,仿佛被賦予了熊的力量。

第二部分 憨態可掬huggable
我還覺得熊非常可愛,憨態可掬。像小熊維尼。
你説的是Pooh吧。模倣一句維尼的話。
田薇,你怎麼笑得這麼高興?
我一看到維尼那憨樣就想樂。看到它,我想起了我家裏的泰迪熊玩具。毛茸茸的,非常可愛。
likable, cute, adorable,huggable
説過維尼熊, 接下來一起看看可愛的棕熊
我還知道全世界的熊都特別喜歡談戀愛
接下來,讓我們看看阿拉斯加棕熊是怎麼談情説愛的。因為熊是強壯威猛的象徵,羅馬軍隊由身披熊皮的旗手引領着,仿佛被賦予了熊的力量。

棕熊嬉戲談情説愛
Famished from half a year of hibernation, even the lordly brown bear is content to graze in spring,sharing the meadows with caribou too fleet to be caught. As bellies fill, play begins.
There is other business conducted in the fields of fresh grass…
the age-old rite of spring.
they will remain a couple for only a day or two sharing a rough affection. Bear hugs will lead to the conception of new life to be born in the hibernation den in the dead of winter.
Yawn… I’ve been sleeping for half a year, my fat is almost all gone. I’d better get something to eat.
Ah, I’m all full now. Mm? Hey, that girl there is awfully cute.
She’s so pretty. She makes my heart go pitter-pat.
Girl bear: Ick. You’re disgusting. Your mouth is so oily.
Boy bear: Hey, baby, don’t go away! Come here, let me give you a hug.
Girl bear: Yuck, no way! Men and women are not supposed to touch each other.
Boy bear: Okay, then. If you won’t let me hug you, I’ll just give you a little kiss. Come on.
Girl bear: Yuck! 瞧你那熊樣。 臉上都是你的口水。 壞蛋。
片子中説到“熊樣”,不知英文中有沒有類似説法?
第三部分 機敏的shrewd
剛才看到兩隻雄終於喜結連理,現在呢經過五個月的冬眠,小熊出世了。
hibernation
母熊是如何帶着小熊覓食的。
但你們知道嗎,熊還是一種非常聰明的動物。
clever機靈的,聰明的, shrewd精明的,狡猾的
你説熊可愛我信,但説它聰明,我不太理解。古時候不是有專門形容軟弱笨拙無能的人為“熊包”嗎?
別急。在這裡我要為親愛的熊同胞們正名。熊被描述成笨拙,是人們的誤解、偏見。你們沒見過熊是怎麼吃東西的吧?來領教一下熊卓絕的捕食技巧,你們就贊同我的觀點了。
棕熊和狐狸挖蚌
Bear: Come on, son, let’s go look for a delicious treat to eat.
Baby bear: Hurry up, Mama, I’m getting hungry. When do we eat?
Here you go, son, I’ve got one. Try some, it’s really nutritious.
Fox: Hey, what are that mother bear and cub looking for? I bet it’s something good to eat. Well, a fox like me can also get in on the action.
Mother: Whew! This one is really deep. I’ve got to keep digging.
Fox: What’s going on? I keep digging and digging, but I can’t find anything!
Smells good, smells good.
Baby: That fox is trying to steal our delicious clams. Hey! You, fox! Get away from here. You’re starting to make us angry! I’ll call my mother over here to beat you up!
Fox: Okay, okay, I’ll leave. Hmpf. Today is not my lucky day.
捕魚
Mother:兒子,點心好吃麼
Baby:我根本就沒吃着什麼
Mother:別着急,我帶你吃鮭魚大餐去。
For brown bears, the arrival of salmon is the most important feeding event of the year. It’s the last opportunity to add the bulk they need for the months of winter hibernation ahead. Dominant bears claim the best fishing spots. Such confrontations are rarely bloody. Size is power. The subordinate merely finds another spot. Bears are not born with fishing skills. Each develops a highly specialized style of fishing. There’s the scanner and the apprentice scanner. The pouncer. The submariner. Easily distracted. For the submariner, the key is not to be graceful but persistent. More bear fish singly and selfishly. Only a mother shares her catch. For some, greed prompts its own style of fishing… the mugger. The salmon banquet is brief. Nothing is wasted. Many feed, but with hibernation time approaching none more urgently than bear. To store up fat, bears may fish 20 hours a day. Large males can put on 300 pounds. Success in the world of the brown bear is a simple matter of reaching one’s sleeping weight. Some reach it a little too soon.
一天20個小時不停的捕魚吃,真的比我們還辛苦啊
別説吃 ,看也看夠了,熊可真夠有耐心的。
它們吃魚時姿態各異,There’s the scanner and the apprentice scanner. The pouncer. The submariner.
片子中還有頭熊吃飽了就睡,還打起了呼嚕,太可愛了。
熊冬眠前一天吃20個小時,體重增加40公斤。在岩洞或雪窩裏,冬眠3-7個月
第四部分
電影熊的傳説Brother Bear
This is the story of the youngest of three sons. Their oldest brother was killed by a bear when he accidentally disturbed a mother bear, who killed him thinking he wanted to harm her cubs. His brother Kenai sets out to hunt the bear himself when his other older brother refuses to form a hunting party right away. In his hunt for vengeance however, the young man is transformed by the spirits. Seeing the world through a bear's eyes, the young man will learn valuable lessons about the cycle of life... especially when he learns that his middle brother has finally formed a hunting party, aiming to kill all bears to avenge the brother's death... which means him too. In the end, the spirit of their oldest brother saved both of them. And Kenai decided not to become a man again. He wanted to be a bear in the rest of his life.
熊和人應該換位思考
我們應該保護熊這麼可愛的動物,就像電影中那個熊圖騰象徵博愛一樣。
The final exam was a bear.期末考試真難!
be a bear for
有精力, 有能耐, 有特殊才能, 有興趣(做某事); 經得起(緊張工作)
今天的問題是機敏用英文怎麼説?
另外我們想向廣大高三畢業生觀眾徵求留言,你們在臨分別之際會對你的同桌好友説些什麼?你們的網上留言與來信將在以後的節目中在這裡被送出。
