One day， a couple decide to go to the zoo to spend their weekend.

有一天，一对夫妇决定去动物园度过他们的周末。

They drive and drive but lose their way on a vast grassland. Suddenly， a baby giraffe passes by.

他们不停地开着车，但在一片广阔的大草原上迷失了方向。突然，有一只小长颈鹿经过。

The man opens up the window and asks： “Eh...Excuse me？ Do you know where is the entrance of the zoo？”

那個先生打开车窗问道：“嗯，打扰一下，你知道动物园的入口在哪吗？”

“The zoo？ What is a ‘zoo？ Can you spell it for me？” The baby giraffe gives a very confused look.

“动物园？‘动物园是什么？你能帮我写一下吗？”那只小长颈鹿看起来很困惑。

The couple are surprised： “The zoo， z-o-o is a place where animals live together. And people can watch them through the windows.”

那对夫妇十分惊讶，“动物园，‘动—物—园是一个动物生活在一起的地方，人们可以通过窗户看到它们。”

“Well...I have no idea what it is but here is my home. I live here with my family and friends. I enjoy my breakfast with birds， taking shower with hippos and hanging out with zebras. We love here！”

“嗯，我还是不懂那是什么地方，但这里是我家。我和我的家人、朋友生活在这里。我喜欢和小鸟一起吃早餐，和河马一起洗澡，和斑马一起出去玩。我们喜欢这里！”

“I dont know what is the zoo but I bet you will have much more fun here！Why not get out of the car and enjoy the great sunshine with us？”

“我不知道什么是动物园，但我敢打赌，你会在这里玩得更开心！为什么不从车里出来，和我们一起享受这明媚的阳光呢？”

The couple agree without thinking， “That would be a wonderful idea！Thanks for inviting us！” The couple and the animals spend a special week-end together and they become best friends ever after.

这对夫妇不假思索地同意了：“那真是一个绝妙的主意！谢谢你邀请我们！”这对夫妇和动物们一起度过了一个特别的周末，他们从此成为了最好的朋友。
