一群蓝瓶僧帽水母沿着海岸 游动时,遇到了一条孤独的沙丁鱼。
A school of bluebottles is floating along the coast when they meet a lonely sardine.
哎呀, 很少在周围见到 你。僧帽水母说。 是的,过度捕捞导致我们快要 灭绝了。你一定很高兴渔民们帮 你摆脱了最大的食物竞争对 手。沙丁鱼回答。
Oh, you are one of the few still around, says the bluebottle. Yes, overfishing has really wiped us out. You must be happy that the fishermen got rid of your biggest competitor for food, replies the sardine.
我知道。但还有可怕的 带须虾虎鱼,他真的很喜欢 吃我们! 你应该也害怕蓝龙吧!
I know. But there is still that dreaded bearded goby fish and he really likes to eat us! You should also be scared of the blue dragon!
又 是龙!僧帽水 母喊道,这些天,人人都 在谈论龙。 这个蓝龙会喷火焰。 哦,是的。我太了解这一切 了!他利用我们制造他 的火!
Not dragons again! shouts the bluebottle. These days, everyone talks about dragons. This blue dragon spews fire. Oh yes, I know that all too well! He makes his fire from us!
