《动物桥》，作者：玛西·阿博夫， 绘者：马克·迈尔斯。 核心问题： 故事里动物们的心情发生了怎样的变化？

Bear was happily munching on some forest berries. Bluejay swooped down next to him. Then Rabbit hopped alongside them. The humans are building again, Rabbit said. Oh no, not another construction project, Bear cried. Those humans have brought their trucks back into our forest. They're chopping down trees and digging into the dirt and grass, said Bluejay.

熊正开开心心地嚼着林子里的浆果。 冠蓝鸦嗖地一下落在他身边。 接着兔子蹦蹦跳跳凑到了他俩旁边。 兔子说：“人类又在搞施工啦。” 熊大叫：“哦不，别又来个施工项目啊。” 那些人类又开着卡车进咱们森林啦。 冠蓝鸦说：“他们在砍树，还挖开了泥土和草地。”

Bear grabbed a bunch of berries and sat down by a tree to think. He wondered if his favorite berry bushes would be gone soon too.

熊抓了一把浆果，坐到一棵树下开始想办法。 他担心自己最爱的浆果丛会不会很快也没了。

Bear noticed Deer walking toward him, her head down. Bear asked, What's wrong, Deer? Deer moaned, I'm all alone. I got cut off from my herd near Moss Trail. Now I'm too scared to cross the road to join them. Enough is enough, fumed Bear. We need to do something to stop the humans, he added.

熊看见鹿低着头朝他走过来。 熊问： “小鹿，你怎么啦？” 鹿唉声叹气地说： “我只剩自己啦，我在苔藓小径那儿和鹿群走散了。” “现在我不敢过马路去找大家。” 熊气呼呼地说：“真是太过分了。” 他又补了句：“我们得做点什么拦住人类。”

The animals came together to talk about the humans and their new bridge. Rabbit took the lead, encouraging the animals. We're smart, she said. We will do whatever we can to stop the humans. The other animals agreed.

动物们聚到一起，讨论人类和他们建的新桥的事。 兔子站出来给大家打气。 她说：“我们可聪明着呢。” “我们会想尽一切办法拦住人类。” 其他动物都同意这个想法。

Rabbit showed off her two front teeth. My big teeth can chew through anything, she bragged. I can hop underneath their trucks and chew through wires. Without their trucks working properly, the humans can't dig up the land, she said.

兔子炫耀了下自己的两颗大门牙。 她得意地说：“我的大门牙什么都能咬断。” “我能蹦到他们的卡车底下，咬断电线。” 她说：“卡车没法正常运行，人类就不能挖地啦。”
