The Fun Club Goes to the Aquarium

The Fun Club goes to the aquarium.

乐趣俱乐部去水族馆啦。

Miss Dimple wanted to take the Fun Club to the beach, but it was too cold and wet. I have an idea, Miss Dimple said. Let's go to the aquarium. Is an aquarium a place to see fish? Rich asked. You'll see fish, Miss Dimple said, and a lot more.

丁普尔小姐本来想带乐趣俱乐部去海滩，可天气又冷又湿。 「我有个主意，」丁普尔小姐说，「咱们去水族馆吧。」 「水族馆是看鱼的地方吗？」里奇问。 「你们会看到鱼的，」丁普尔小姐说，「还有好多别的东西呢。」

The first animals they saw were harbor seals. Some of the seals were swimming and diving. Other seals lay on rocks. Seals aren't fish, Dana said. They are mammals. I can see their hair. Look at their flippers, Rich said. They look like my swim fins. Those flippers are like swim fins, Miss Dimple said. They help seals swim.

他们最先看到的动物是港海豹。有些海豹在游泳潜水，其他的则趴在岩石上。 「海豹不是鱼哦，」达娜说，「它们是哺乳动物，我能看到它们的毛。」 「看它们的鳍状肢，」里奇说，「跟我的游泳脚蹼好像呀。」 「这些鳍状肢确实和脚蹼差不多，」丁普尔小姐说，「能帮海豹游泳哦。」

They stop next at a big tank. Keb read the label. See jellies. They do look like jelly, he said. They are just blobs with long tails, Rich said. They don't even have bones. Those tails are called tentacles, Miss Dimple said. Tentacles help jellies catch food. And some tentacles can sting. The sting helps keep jellies safe.

接着他们停在一个大水箱前，凯布读了标签。 「看水母，它们真的像果冻哎。」他说。 「它们就是些拖着长尾巴的软乎乎的团子，」里奇说，「连骨头都没有呢。」 「那些尾巴叫触手哦。」丁普尔小姐说。 触手能帮水母捕食，而且有些触手还会蜇人哦。 这种蜇人的能力能保护水母的安全。

The next tanks had sea dragons in them. First we see jellies and now dragons. Where are the fish? Ritz asked. Dana read the label. Sea dragons are a kind of fish, she said. Keb watched the animals wave in the water. They look more like seaweed than fish, he said.

旁边的水箱里养着海龙。 我们先看了水母，现在又看到了龙。 「鱼在哪里呀？」丽兹问。 达娜读了标签。 「海龙是鱼的一种哦。」她说。 凯布看着这些动物在水里晃来晃去。 「它们比起鱼来更像海藻呀。」他说。

Next, Miss Dimple led them to a very big tank. It was three stories tall. They saw sharks and sea turtles and eels. Small fish darted in and out of caves in a reef at the bottom of the tank.

接着丁普尔小姐带他们来到一个超大的水箱前，它有三层楼那么高，他们看到了鲨鱼、海龟还有鳗鱼。 小小的鱼儿在水箱底部礁石的洞穴里窜进窜出。
