The Rain Forest

热带雨林

A tropical rain forest is like an apartment building. Just as an apartment building has many floors, a rain forest has many levels. Different creatures live at each level of the rain forest.

一片热带雨林就像一栋公寓楼。就像公寓楼有很多层一样，热带雨林也有很多层次。 不同生物生活在雨林的不同的层面。

The ground level is the forest floor. Leaves litter the ground. Many insects live here. Ants look for food under the leaves.

地面那一次是地被层，树叶洒落在地面上。 许多昆虫生活在这里。蚂蚁在树叶下寻找食物。

Tapirs walk among the trees. They lift up the leaves looking for food. Armadillos scurry around.

貘在树林中穿行。 他们掀起树叶寻找食物。犰狳在这里四处奔跑。

The next level is the understory. Tarantulas spin their webs to catch insects and birds. Anteaters use their long snouts to sniff out ants. Iguanas hunt for flies.

第二层是林下层 狼蛛织网来捕捉昆虫和鸟，食蚁兽用它们的长鼻子寻找蚂蚁。美州大蜥蜴捕捉飞虫。

Big snakes like boa constrictors wind around branches. Jaguars climb the lowest branches of the trees and wait for food. Sometimes they catch fish and crocodiles.

像蟒蛇那样的大蛇缠绕在树枝上。美洲豹爬上最矮的树枝等待猎物，有时他们抓鱼和鳄鱼。
