台湾籍旅美老师今天交给我们的句子是:
When beetles bury their dung balls, they inadvertently protect these seeds from predators and increase the likelihood they'll germinate.
当屎壳郎将粪球埋掉时,他们同时也不经意地保护了这些种子,杜绝猎食者的威胁,进而提高了种子发芽的可能性。
学习重点:
1.dung 粪便
dung (n.) 粪便
2.inadvertently 无意地
inadvertently (adv.) 无意地
3.likelihood 可能性
likelihood (n.) 可能性
likely (adj.) 可能的
4.germinate (使) 发芽、萌芽
germinate (v.) (使) 发芽、萌芽
