【原创】雅思口语说说这只新晋网红--"树懒"

这两天想必大家已经被这部电影

刷爆了屏!!!

music 起~！

对，就是传说中的《疯狂动物城》，英文为"Zootopia"

即“动物园”的"zoo"和“乌托邦”的"utopia"的混合体。

最吸引大家关注的

当然是这部动画片最火的两只：

美狐男和萌小兔

但是小编只想说

▼

有比车管所的小伙子“闪电”更会抢戏的配角吗啊啊啊

电影里每五个“哈哈哈”，就有两个是因为它。

出演五分钟不到；

订个纸——

盖个戳——

你就憋不住了——

所以今儿我们就来聊聊

这只反射弧可绕地球三周的

“树懒”

怎么和谐地用在雅思口语中

1

首先，真实的“树懒”是这样的......

树懒的英文叫做『sloth』

▼

sloth 这个名词除了指树懒，还相当于laziness

比如，这个词可以这么用：

e.g. He should overcome his natural sloth.

他应该克服他天生的"懒惰"。

这么个名也就决定了它们的习性！

那就是“懒”,“慢”！

▼

据资料显示，树懒一天有20个小时在睡觉，懒得去吃、懒得去玩，吃下去的食物要30-50天才能消化。

Sloths have low metabolisms, so they have to move slowly in order to conserve energy.

Tips:

metabolisms n. 新陈代谢

conserve energy 保存能量

可是“慢”有什么关系呢

因为它们够萌

▼

Their toes look more like big hooked claws in appearance.

Some of them have three toes.

Some of them have only two.

Their claws are their only natural defence.

于是当有童鞋留言说本季度雅思口语有这么个话题

小编第一个想到的就是树懒啦。大家可以参考一下以下说法哦：

▼

“

What does it look like？

Sloths have short, flat heads, big eyes; short snouts(塌塌鼻), long legs, and tiny ears. Some species have stubby(短而粗的) tails. Altogether, sloths' bodies are usually  between 50 and 60 cm long.

“

Why do you think it is interesting？

（最近的"网红"当之无愧）

Sloths are hilariously(滑稽的，可以替代interesting) slow in Disney’s latest movie 'Zootopia’. I remembered a  popular scene in this movie that a fast-moving bunny is trying to get some work done, while the sloth named 'Flash’ acts really really slow.

（卖萌神器）

Besides, they are experts in playing  cute(卖萌). I think that's probably the reason why so many people like sloths.

（居然吃素） 

What strikes me the most(让我印象最深刻的是) is that sloths are 'vegans’(这里是拟人化的说法，形容树懒吃素), they eat leaves, flower petals and other plant products. They are essentially herbivores（食草动物）.
