2 Chapter 1 Animal Lover

Chapter 1 Animal Lover Jane Goodall was born on April 3, 1934, in London, England. London is one of the world's greatest cities. Jane, however, was far happier in the country. She liked being outdoors, exploring nature. Her family moved outside the city to a house with a yard. What interested her most were animals. All kinds of animals. Learning about them in books was interesting. But facts from books were not enough for Jane. Jane wanted to find out about animals by watching them herself. One time she dug up some earthworms. She came home and put them under her pillow. Jane wanted to go to sleep with them! Her mother explained that the worms needed to be in their own homes. Little Jane was disappointed, but returned the worms to the garden.

动物爱好者简·古道尔1934年4月3日出生在英国伦敦。 伦敦是世界上最伟大的城市之一。 然而，简在乡下要快乐得多。 她喜欢户外活动，探索大自然。 她的家人搬到了城外一所带院子的房子里。 她最感兴趣的是动物。 各种各样的动物。在书中了解它们很有趣。 但书本上的事实对简来说还不够。 简想通过自己观察动物来了解它们。 有一次她挖出了一些蚯蚓。 她回到家，把它们放在枕头下面。 简想和他们一起睡觉!她的母亲解释说，蠕虫需要在自己的家里。 小简很失望，但还是把虫子放回了花园。

When she was about five, Jane was curious to see how chickens laid eggs. In the backyard at her grandmother's house was a chicken coop. Here was Jane's chance to watch an egg get laid.

She had Jubilee with her. She crept into the empty chicken coop. Then she waited for a hen to arrive. Jane stayed so still that the hen didn't notice her. Hour after hour went by. Jane kept waiting and watching. Finally, after five hours, Jane saw what she had hoped for. Out popped an egg from underneath the chicken! Jane was excited. Her family, however, was scared! Her mother had called the police to report that Jane was missing. But when Jane returned to the house, she did not get a scolding. Her mother understood that Jane was not being naughty. She needed to learn about the natural world in her own special way.

她带着朱比利。她蹑手蹑脚地钻进空鸡笼。 然后她等着母鸡来。 简静静地呆着，母鸡没有注意到她。 一个小时又一个小时过去了。简一直在等着，看着。 五个小时后，简终于看到了她所希望的。 从鸡的下面蹦出一个鸡蛋!简很兴奋。 然而，她的家人却很害怕!她母亲打电话报警说简失踪了。 但当简回到家时，她并没有受到责骂。 她妈妈明白简并不是淘气。 她需要用自己独特的方式来了解自然世界。
