Dialogue

(Eric and Harry are talking on their way home.)

Eric: Harry, you’ve put on a long face all day today.

What’s wrong?

Harry: Well, did you notice that Nora tried to avoid

me in school?

Eric: Nora? Our cheerleader?

Harry: Yes. She doesn’t seem to talk much though

we still say “Hi” to each other.

Eric: Hmm, that’s strange. She’s a proud

girl who likes to talk about herself.

Maybe she’s in love.

Though the swan-shaped boat was much larger than

the swan, it spent several weeks following the boat.

A visitor who rented the boat said, “It seems that

she’s fallen in love. She thinks the boat is a strong

and attractive swan.”

Autumn arrived, but the swan did not fly south

for the winter because it did not want to leave the

boat. To help the swan pass the winter,

people moved both the swan and the

swan-shaped boat to a zoo which

was not far away from the town.

英文英文 愛情是什麼？這是一個困擾著人們好幾千年的問題。你知不知道這個問題有時候也困擾著動物呢 ？ 前幾天，我讀到一則你也許會覺得很有趣的新聞。 在德國柏林市附近一個小鄉鎮裡的一個池塘，有一隻黑天鵝愛上一艘長得很像一隻真天鵝的塑膠製的腳踏平底小船。

動物會戀愛嗎？

Reading （中譯）

雖然這艘天鵝狀的腳踏小船比這隻黑天鵝要大許多，黑天鵝還是有好幾個星期跟在小船身旁。有一位來租腳踏小船的觀光客說：「看起來好像是黑天鵝愛上小船。她覺得小船是一隻強壯而有魅力的天鵝。」 秋天來了，但這隻天鵝卻不往南飛去過冬，因為牠不想離開這艘小船。為了幫助這隻天鵝度過寒冬，人們把天鵝和這艘天鵝形狀的小船都搬到離城鎮不遠的一家動物園去。

動物園裡的工作人員對於這隻黑天鵝感到很難過，他們希望牠會愛上一隻真正的天鵝。 我不知道現在這隻黑天鵝到底怎麼樣了。但是我想「愛情是盲目的」這句話也許是真的。
