　　I see a big bird. But is it really an eagle? 我看到了一只大鸟。但那真的是一只鹰吗？

　　Sure it is. Here. Use my binoculars². 肯定是。给，用我的双筒望远镜。

　　Are you sure? Let me see. You're right. It's a crow. 你确定吗？让我看看。恩，你说得对，那是只乌鸦。

　　How was bird watching on Saturday? Did you see many birds? 周六赏鸟怎么样？你有看到许多鸟吗？

　　Not really. We just saw some ducks and a few crows. 并不是很多。我们就看到了一些鸭子和几只乌鸦。

　　That's too bad. Well, maybe you'll see more birds next time. 那太糟了。可能下次你会看到更多的鸟。
