　　Now we're entering Kangaroo Country.

　　现在我们正在进入袋鼠的国度。

　　In all, there are more than fifty different species of kangaroo, and the advantage of zoos like ours is that you see them in their natural habitat.

　　总共有超过五十种不同的袋鼠，像我们这样的动物园的优势是,你在他们的自然栖息地看到它们。

　　The ones we have all live in the grasslands.

　　我们拥有的这些(袋鼠)都生活在这草原上。

　　On my right, you can see one of the biggest types: the red kangaroo.

　　在我的右边，你能见到最大的一个品种：红袋鼠。

　　It travels about 20 miles per hour.

　　它一个小时大约行进20英里。

　　It looks like hard work, but hopping actually lets the kangaroo conserve more energy than another animal could when running on four legs.

　　看起来似乎很辛苦，但是跳跃实际上让袋鼠你能比其他四条腿奔跑的动物保存更多的能量。

　　In fact, up to a certain point, the faster a kangaroo goes the more energy it conserves.

　　事实上，在某种程度上，袋鼠行进的越快节省的能量越多。

　　Rather than taking more hops to increase speed, the kangaroo makes the length of each jump longer.

　　与其说用更多的跳跃来增加速度，不如说袋鼠使每次的跳跃长度更长。

　　Let's stop here for a minute. Take a look over on your right at this group of kangaroos resting.

　　让我们停在这里一小会儿。看看在你的右边正在休息的这群袋鼠。

　　Can you see that their ears are moving? Hearing may well be the kangaroo's most important sense.

　　你能看见他们的耳朵在动吗?听力很可能袋鼠的最重要的感觉。

　　Their two large ears can move independently, so sometimes one ear is pointing forward and the other toward the rear.

　　它们的两只大耳朵能独立地动，所以有时一只耳朵向前一只耳朵向后。

　　Kangaroos' eyesight is also excellent. They have a wide field of vision and, like most grazing animals, they are especially good at detecting movement.

　　袋鼠的视力也很棒。它们有一个宽广的视野，而且，像大多数食草动物一样，它们尤其擅长侦测动作。

　　Before we move on, I'd like to point out one more thing: If you look closely, you can see a joey that's a baby kangaroo peering out of its mother's pouch.

　　在我们继续之前，我想再指出一件事：如果你仔细观察，你能见到一只幼仔，那是一只小袋鼠正从妈妈的育儿袋里隐约露出来。

　　Before long that joey will be out of the pouch for good. The mother will push it out by the time it's eight months old.

　　不久以后那只幼仔将永久地从育儿袋里出来。妈妈将在它八个月大时强迫它出来。

　　Since we've been discussing alternative fuels lately, I wanted to pass on to you some information I read about a new fuel that's been in the news a lot lately.

　　由于近期我们已经讨论过替代燃料，我想传递给你们一些我最近读到的一种上了很多次新闻的新型燃料的信息。

　　It's called A-21. It's composed of water and a chemical known as naphtha.

　　它叫做A—21。它由水和一种被认为是石脑油的化学物质组成。

　　It seems to be a very promising fuel because it's much cleaner than the gasoline that we use today.

　　它似乎是一种非常有前途的燃料，因为它比我们今天使用的汽油要清洁得多。

　　That's not to say that it doesn't pollute, but it is cleaner. A-21 isn't like some other alternative fuels that require completely new types of engines.

　　那并不是说它不会污染，但是它更清洁。A-21不像某些其他的替代燃料那样需要完全新式的引擎。

　　A-21 still works in regular, everyday combustion engines—like the ones in cars—with only minor mechanical modifications.

　　A-21在常规的，日常内燃机——比如汽车里的引擎里依然起作用—只要较小的机械改动。

　　So changing over wouldn't be a big deal.

　　所以(燃料)对换不是什么大事。

　　You may doubt some of these claims as many researchers have.

　　你可能怀疑许多研究人员都有这样的说法。

　　Some people feared that because it contains about 45 percent water it would freeze in the winter.

　　有些人担心由于它包含了大约百分之四十五的水，它可能在冬天冻住。

　　But a small amount of antifreeze was added to it, and that seems to have solved the problem.

　　但是少量的防冻剂被添加进去，而这似乎就解决了问题。

　　A-21 has recently undergone street tests in buses in Reno, Nevada.

　　A-21最近在Nevada的Reno经历了街头测试。

　　So far it seems to work just fine.

　　目前它看来工作良好。

　　This is a good thing, especially in Nevada, because the state government there has passed a law requiring that a large percentage of vehicles in Nevada run on alternative fuels. A-21 should help.

　　这是件好事儿，尤其在Nevada，因为那里的州政府通过了一项法律，要求在Nevada的很大比例的车辆靠替代燃料运转。A-21会有帮助。
