If I Ran The Zoo

It's a pretty good zoo said young Gerald Mcgrew and the fellow who runs it seems proud of it too.

“这动物园可真不错，”小杰拉尔德·麦格鲁说，“经营它的人看起来 也为它感到十分自豪呢。”

But if I ran the zoo said young Gerald I'd make a few changes. That's just what I do The lions and tigers and that kind of stuff they have up here now are not quite good enough You see things like these in just any old zoo. They're awfully old -fashioned. I want something new

“可要是由我来管动物园，”小杰拉尔德说， 我得做些改动，这正是我要干的事。 现在这儿的狮子、老虎这类动物，都不够好。 这些玩意儿随便哪个老动物园都有，太老套啦，我想要点新鲜的。

So I'd open each cage, I'd unlock every pen, let the animals go, and start over again. And somehow or other I think I could find some beasts of a much more unusual kind.

所以我要打开每个笼子，打开每处围栏，把动物都放走，从头再来。 我肯定能找到一些更稀奇少见的动物。

A four -footed lion's not much of a beast. The one in my zoo will have ten feet at least, five legs on the left, and five more on the right. Then people will stare and they'll say, what a sight! This zookeeper, Newkeeper Gerald's, quite keen. That's the gall -darnedest lion I ever have seen.

四条腿的狮子算不上什么厉害的动物，我的动物园里的狮子至少得有十条腿， 左边五条，右边五条。到时候人们会看得目不转睛，还会 说：哇，太神奇了！这位新园长杰拉尔德可太厉害了。这是我见过的 最最稀奇的狮子了。

My new zoo, Maghru's zoo, will make people talk. My new zoo, Maghru's zoo, will make people gawk at the strangest odd creatures that ever did walk. I'll get for my zoo a new sort of a hen who roosts in another hen's top knot. And then another one roosts in the top knot of his, and another in his, and another in his, and so forth, and upward and onward. Gee whiz!

我的新动物园，麦格鲁动物园，肯定会让大家议论纷纷。 我的新动物园，麦格鲁动物园，大家都会瞪大眼睛看那些有史以来最奇怪的生物。 我要给我的动物园找一种新品种的母鸡，它会栖息在另一只母鸡的羽冠上。 然后又有一只栖息在它的羽冠上，再一只又在那只的上面，一只接一只，越摞越高，天呐！
