英语四级晨读100篇精华版069动物的语言 (中英)

　　蜜蜂通过两种舞蹈告诉伙伴它发现了食物。第一种是圆形舞蹈。跳这种舞蹈时，蜜蜂在蜂房里绕一个圆圈移动。这种舞蹈表示食物就在附近，不超过10米远。蜜蜂还会去闻已经找到食物的那只蜜蜂以确定应该找何种花，看了圆形舞蹈,有问过找到食物的那只密蝗.

　　A second kind of dance done by the bees is a tail-wagging dance. In this dance, the bee wiggles the end of its body as it moves in a straight line. Thetail-wagging dance is used when the food is more than ton meters away. The bees know from the speed ofthe tail-wagging dance just how far away the food source is. The line the bee dances on shows thedirection that the bees must fly in to find the food. In the tail-wagging dance, the bees also smell the beethat has found the food. The smell tells them what kind of flower to look for.

　　第二种舞蹈是摆尾舞。跳这种舞时,蜜蜂沿直线移动并摆身体的尾部。摆尾舞表示食物很远，超过 10米以外。蜜蜂通过摆尾舞的速度知道食物源头究竟有多远。蜜蜂跳舞的那条线表示其他蜜蜂应该沿着其飞行以找到食物的方向。在摆尾舞中，蜜蜂仍然去闻已经找到食物的那只蜜蜂。它身上的味道会告诉它们应该寻找哪种花卉。

　　The bees communication system is extremely interesting. Each bee can tell all the other bees where to look for food. The bees can also toll one another if the food is especially good and how much of it there is. Karl von Frisch did an experiment with bees. He put a food source very high above the bee hive, and put a bee into the food. The bee returned tothe hive and did the round dance, but none of the other bees could find the food. This suggests that bees do not really have a language. One bee could not tell the other bees the height of the food. One bee could not communicate this new information to the others.
