自然之歌(三) Echolocation

Some animals, such as dolphins and bats, send out sounds to find their way or to catch prey. The sounds bounce off objects and echo back to the animals. This is called Echolocation.


If I Could Ride a Dolphin

Oh, to ride a dolphin,
To leap and dive and play.
If I could ride a dolphin,
We'd click to find our way.

We'd skim around a submarine,
And slide around a whale,
Our clicks would echo off them
And guide us as we sailed.

We'd click our way through sunken ships
Hidden in the sea.
Oh, to ride a dolphin.
What magic that would be!

倘若我乘在海豚背上翱游

噢，乘坐在海豚背上，
在大海中跳跃，下潜和嬉戏。
倘若我乘坐在海豚背上，
我们会一起尖叫着找寻方向。

我们在潜水艇四周滑行，
在鲸鱼身边溜过，
就凭回声，
当我们飘游的向导。

我们用回声寻获了
躺在深海中的沉船。
噢，乘坐在海豚背上，
是多么美妙的事情！
