你想成为一只海狸吗？ 作者：邦妮·海史密斯·泰勒

Do you like to play in water? Do you like to swim? If you do, then you might like life as a beaver.

你喜欢在水里玩耍吗？ 你喜欢游泳吗？ 如果喜欢的话，你说不定会喜欢海狸的生活哦。

When you're a beaver, you can swim days after being born. As an adult, you can hold your breath for 15 minutes.

如果你是海狸，出生没几天就会游泳啦。 成年后，你可以憋气长达15分钟哦。

A set of clear eyelids allows you to see underwater. You can also close your nose and ears to keep out water.

你有一副透明的眼睑，在水下也能看清东西。 你还能闭上鼻子和耳朵，不让水流进去。

Your four huge front teeth never stop growing. Chewing on wood all the time keeps them from growing too long. You can chew through a skinny tree in 20 minutes.

你的四颗大门牙会一直长个不停。 不停啃木头就能防止牙齿长得太长哦。 你只需要20分钟就能啃断一棵细树。

Why do you want to chew through a tree? To build a dam.

你为什么要啃断树呀？ 当然是为了建水坝呀。
