Some animals are smarter than humans. Take the intelligent dolphin as an example. After just a few weeks in captivity, it can train humans to throw it fish.

Notes:

1. Some animals are smarter than humans.

有一些動物比人類還聰明。

“human”和“human being"都是指“人類”。但前者通常是相對于動物而言的;后者更強調(diào)有血有肉有感情的人類，因為being是表示生命的存在。

2. Take the intelligent dolphin as an example.

以聰明的海豚為例。

句中的“as an example”也可以寫成for example。

3. After just a few weeks in captivity, it can train humans to throw it fish.

只要幾個星期的囚禁之后，它就可以訓練人類扔魚給它。

在海豚看來，也許它們覺得是它們在訓練人類，只要他們轉(zhuǎn)圈、跳高，人類就會喂它們魚。
