初级班第七课：不会飞的鸟 On earth there are a lot of birds that don't fly.地球上有很多鸟是不会飞的。 One of the most famous is kiwi bird. 其中最有名之一是几维鸟。 They're very precious and very rare. 它们非常珍贵和稀少。 Another one is a kakapo. It's New Zealand's flightless green parrot. 第二种是鸮鹦鹉，它们是新西兰不会飞的绿色鹦鹉。 It's kind of like a large fat parrot that lives on the ground.有点像是生活在地上的大胖鹦鹉。 Nobody has seen them in the wild because they are extremely rare.由于极度稀少，所以很少人在野外见过它们。 Around 20 years ago there were only 45 kakapo left.大概20年前，就只有45只鸮鹦鹉。 They lay their eggs on the ground, so they're very vulnerable to predators.它们在地上产蛋，所以很容易受到捕食者的攻击。 Nowdays,there's an breeding program for them，or it'll die out like the dinosaurs.现在，它们有了人工哺育计划，不然就会像恐龙一样灭绝了。
