1. A: I don't really understand why you contacted Professor Higgins.
1、A：我不明白为什么你联系了希金斯教授。
A: He has nothing to do with our faculty. B: Well, we wanted to understand what impact an invention like this would have on the environment. And that's his area of expertise.
A：他和我们系一点关系都没有。B：我们想弄明白这项发明会对环境有什么影响。而这正是他的专长。
2. A: First of all, we put video cameras in the animals' cages.
2、A：首先我们在动物笼子里设立录像机。
B: Yes, and then we put various tools inside the cages and let the animals back in.
B：对，然后我们把不同的工具放进笼子里，再把动物放回去。
A: We video-recorded them over seven days and nights to see what they would do with the tools.
A：我们录下七天七夜它们的情况，看它们会对这些工具做什么。
3. After gathering all of our data, we looked at the results. We realised that the number of frogs in this area had actually increased over the last 10 years rather than declined.
3、在收集了所有数据后，我们来看看结果。我们发现，在过去十年间，本地区的青蛙数量实际上有所增长，而非下降。
4. A: So, what does that all show?
4、A：那么，这说明了什么？
B: Well, I think we can deduce from this that any development in this area should be halted until the animals have all been safely removed.
B：我认为我们能以此推断，本地区的任何发展活动都应暂停，直到所有的动物都被安全转移了。
