原版英語對(duì)話1000個(gè):880 Zoos

Jake: Hey, Lindsay, would you like to go with me to the zoo this Saturday?
Lindsay: The zoo?
Jake: Yeah, it's gonna be lot's of fun. We're going to see lions and tigers and bears.
Lindsay: Oh, my! Actually, I don't really like the zoo.
Jake: Why not. I thought everyone liked the zoo.
Lindsay: I don't think it's natural for the animals to be in a cage.
Jake: Yeah, I can see your point but on the other hand, zoos often rescue the animals in the wild that couldn't survive on their own, and I hear that zoos often take very good care of the animals and they have an even longer life expectancy than they would have in the wild.
Lindsay: Yeah, I agree with you. I think the animals do live longer in the zoo, but my problem is more the fact that it's just not natural. For example, I once saw a polar bear in California. A polar bear should not be in a warm climate. It should be in a cold climate where there's snow.
Jake: OK, you got me there.
Lindsay: Yes, I think I did. But I understand your point that zoos could be good, especially for the animals and the fact that they rescue the animals. I mean, that's nice. But, I think that you know, animals should die in the wild.
Jake: Well, I think it's better that they're alive so that people can enjoy them.
Lindsay: So you think the purpose of animals is for them to be enjoyed?
Jake: No, no, but it's really interesting for us to be able to learn about the animals and see them in person instead of just on TV.
Lindsay: I guess I agree with you, but I don't know, I don't really think the purpose of the animals are for our pleasure. I think animals should be out in the wild living freely.
Jake: OK, are you opposed to circuses too?
Lindsay: Oh, absolutely. I think they're very cruel to animals. Animals should not be there performing and living in close quarters and not being able to move around freely.
Jake: Well, I can see your point but I still think zoos and circuses are a lot of fun and I like to go to them a lot.
Lindsay: OK, I guess we'll just have to disagree on this one. Have fun at the zoo Jake.
