《动物桥》 作者：玛西·阿博夫 插画：马克·迈尔斯 思考问题 故事里动物们的心情发生了什么变化？

Bear was eating some juicy forest berries when Blue Jay swooped down next to him. The trucks are back, Blue Jay screeched. Rabbit hopped by and squealed. They're working on another construction project. Oh no, not again, Bear cried. It seems as though the humans just finished building their busy highway, Rabbit complained. Bluejay reported, they're at it again chopping down trees and digging up the dirt and grass.

熊正在吃森林里鲜甜多汁的浆果，蓝松鸦猛地落到了他身边 "卡车又来了！"蓝松鸦尖声叫道 兔子蹦过来，高声喊道 他们又要开工修新东西了 "哦不，怎么又来了！"熊嚷道 兔子抱怨："人类好像刚把那条繁忙的公路建完啊" 蓝松鸦说："他们又开始砍树，挖泥土铲草皮了"

Bear growled, when will those humans stop building? He thought. They kept constructing roads through the forest. In the process, they were destroying the animals' homes and food. Some animals had even been hit by cars when they tried to cross the busy roads.

熊低吼道："这些人类什么时候才能停止修东西啊？" 他心想 他们不断地在森林里修公路 修公路的过程中，他们摧毁了动物们的家和食物 有些动物尝试过马路的时候还被车撞到了

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. Then he noticed Deer trotting slowly toward him, her head down. Bear asked, What's the matter, 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 think of some way to stop the humans.

熊抓了一把浆果，坐在树边想办法 他担心自己最爱的浆果丛很快也会消失不见 这时他看到鹿低着头，慢慢朝他跑来 熊问："鹿，你怎么了？" 鹿呻吟着说 "我现在孤零零一个人" "我和族群在苔藓小径附近走散了" "我太害怕了，不敢过马路去找他们" 熊愤怒地吼道："够了，忍无可忍了" "我们得想办法阻止人类"

The animals gathered together at the woody hill. We need to get tough, Rabbit yelled to the animals. Yes, they all agreed.

动物们聚集在山林边 兔子对大家喊道："我们必须强硬起来" 大家都齐声赞同："对"

Too bad none of you can fly," said Blue Jay. If you had wings, then you wouldn't need to cross the roads. I can't fly, said Rabbit, but I can chew. Rabbit showed off her two front teeth. She said, I have an idea. My big teeth can chew through anything. I can get underneath the trucks and chew through the wires. Without their trucks working properly, the humans can't dig up the land.

"可惜你们都不会飞"，蓝松鸦说 要是你们有翅膀，就不用过马路了 兔子说："我不会飞，但我会咬东西" 兔子亮出了自己的两颗大门牙 她说："我有一个主意" "我的大门牙能咬穿任何东西" "我可以爬到卡车底下咬断电线" 卡车没法正常工作，人类就不能挖地了
