（单词翻译）

 But their success hasn't gone unnoticed. From many miles away, the short-faced bear can smell blood on the breeze. He sniffs1 his way towards the source. 

 
Meanwhile, satisfied and sleepy, the pride settles down for a snooze. More than twice the weight of the pride's most powerful lion, the short-faced bear is a daunting2 sight. Its trump3 card is to use its massive size to frighten hunters from their kill. 
 
But the lions won't give up their hard-won meal without a fight. This time the bear's scare tactics just don't work. The lion's numbers are against him. And despite his annoying hunger, he backs down. The autumn winds are rising, carrying another scent4 across the plains. And once again the bear's nose senses course.
