2018年商务英语初级口语测试:红河猪
A mob of red river hogs.
They have travelled over two miles through the thick undergrowth
to get to this fall of fruit.
But in the African forest, little comes for free.
This feast is a bribe.
The hogs will carry the seeds in their stomachs
and deposit them far from the parent tree.
Night falls.
But one living community,
which is neither animal nor plant
continues its never ending work in the darkness.
This ground is alive with fungi
that digest all the litter discarded by the forest.
Some rare fungi do so with enzymes that are luminous.
一群红河猪来了
他们在茂密的灌木丛跋涉了两英里
才吃到这些落下的果实
但是在非洲森林里没什么可以不劳而获
这顿饕餮盛宴就当是贿赂了
那些猪会用自己的胃把树种
散播到远离母树的地方
夜幕降临了
但是一群既非动物又非植物的生灵
还在黑暗中继续着无穷无尽的工作
真菌的存在让这片土地充满生机
它们会消化森林产生的全部垃圾
一些稀有的菌类所用的酶能够发光
