《我的胃》，作者：雷切尔·赖斯 插画：达伦·麦基 核心问题 为什么胃是你身体的重要组成部分？

A yummy smell is in the air. My brain tells me that smell is my favorite food. My brain sends a message to my mouth and my stomach.

空气中飘着一股好闻的味道 我的大脑告诉我，这是我最爱吃的食物的香味 我的大脑给我的嘴巴和胃发送了信号

My mouth starts to water and my stomach grumbles. I am hungry. My stomach tells me so.

我的嘴巴开始流口水，肚子也咕噜咕噜叫 我饿啦 是我的胃告诉我的哦

My stomach is a part of my body. My stomach helps my body break down the food it needs. Food gives my body energy and helps it grow.

胃是我身体的一部分 胃帮我的身体分解所需的食物 食物给我的身体提供能量，还能帮我长身体

My stomach is part of my digestive system. My digestive system is one of my body's systems that keep me alive.

胃是我消化系统的一部分 消化系统是我身体的众多系统之一，负责维持我的生命运转

My mouth is the first stop in my digestive system. My teeth, tongue, and saliva start to break down my food. I chew, bite, and mash with my teeth and tongue.

嘴巴是我消化系统的第一站 我的牙齿、舌头和唾液开始分解食物 我用牙齿和舌头咬呀、嚼呀，把食物磨碎
