T: Tom P: Peggy
Peggy is telling her friend Tom about her family’s trip to the Taipei Zoo last weekend.
P: Yeah! I particularly loved watching the meerkats dash around. They’re so cute.
T: Did you see any big animals, like elephants or giraffes?
P: Of course! My sister really loves elephants. She was happy to see them out and about. Do you have a favorite animal?
T: Bears are cool. Polar bears are my top pick, but there aren’t any of those at the Taipei Zoo.
P: The zoo has a few other species of bears, though.
T: Oh, I know. The pandas are adorable and charming.
佩姬正在向她的朋友汤姆讲述她们家上周末去台北市立动物园的旅行。
佩 姬: 是啊!我特别喜欢看狐獴跑来跑去。牠们太可爱了。
汤 姆: 妳有看到大象或长颈鹿等大型动物吗?
佩 姬: 当然有啊!我姊姊非常喜欢大象。她很高兴看到牠们外出走动。你有最喜欢的动物吗?
汤 姆: 熊很酷。北极熊是我的首选,但台北市立动物园没有北极熊。
佩 姬: 不过,动物园里还有一些其他种类的熊。
汤 姆: 哦,我知道。大猫熊可爱又迷人。
