Hi, Dianne.
이봐, 다이앤.
How did you like the science lecture today?
오늘 과학 강의 어땠어?
W
It was great.
정말 좋았어.
It was about some interesting characteristics that have evolved for animals to survive in urban areas.
도시에서 동물들이 살아남기 위해 진화한 흥미로운 특징들에 대한 내용이었어.
M
That sounds interesting.
흥미로운데?
Can you explain what characteristics they have developed?
어떤 특징들이 생겼는지 설명해 줄 수 있어?
W
Sure.
물론이지.
For example, city lizards have a type of skin on their feet that allows them to climb smooth surfaces like walls and windows.
예를 들면, 도시 도마뱀들은 벽이나 창문 같은 매끄러운 표면을 오를 수 있도록 발에 특수한 피부 구조를
가지고 있어.
M
Wow, that’s fascinating!
와, 신기하네!
What else, other than lizards?
도마뱀 말고 또 뭐가 있어?
W
The professor also gave rats in cities as an example.
교수님이 도시의 쥐들도 예로 들었어.
Interestingly, they tend to have shorter teeth than rural rats.
흥미롭게도, 도시 쥐들은 시골
쥐들보다 이가 더 짧대.
M
Why is that?
왜 그렇지?
W
Short teeth are better for eating human food they find in garbage bins.
짧은 이는 쓰레기통에서 찾은 인간의 음식을 먹기에 더 적합하거든.
M
Really?
정말?
It’s really amazing how animals are able to evolve like that.
동물들이 그렇게 진화할 수 있다니 정말 놀랍다.
