Discovery Diane Ackerman/迪安.阿克曼 The word “discovery” literally means, uncovering something that’s hidden from view. But what really happens is a change in the viewer. The familiar offers comfort few can resist, and fewer still want to disturb. But as relatively recent inventions such as the telescope and microscope have taught us, the unknown has many layers. Every truth has geological strata, and you can’t have orthodoxy without a heresy. The moment a newborn opens its eyes, discovery begins. I learned this with a laugh one morning after delivering a calf. When it lifted up its fluffy head and looked at me, its eyes held the absolute bewilderment of the newly born. A moment before it had the even black nowhere of the womb, and suddenly its world was full of color, movement and noise. I’ve never seen anything so shocked to be alive. “发现”一词，字面上是指揭开某种视线以外的隐藏的事物。不过其实是观察者自身发生了变化。很少人能抗拒熟悉事物带来的舒适，愿意扰乱这种舒适的人更少。然而，正如望远镜、显微镜这些较为近期的发明所揭示给我们的，求知事物具有多种层次。每个事实都有地质层次，没有异端也就无所谓正统。 新生儿睁开双眼的那一刻起，发现也就开始了。我是在一天清晨给一头小牛犊接生的时候突然意识到这一点的，不禁大笑。小牛仰起毛茸茸的脑袋看着我，目光中透出这个新生命对世界的一无所知。片刻这前，它还呆在母体里某个黑暗而平静的地方，突然，它的世界变得五光十色，变得活泼而喧闹。我从未见过任何东西在获得生命时是如些的惊异。

Two Little Monkeys两只猴子The monkey mother has two little monkeys. She likes the younger, not the other.猴妈妈生了两个猴子。她喜欢年幼的小猴子而不喜欢年长的大猴子。One day, they were playing in a forest when a wolf came，running at them. The monkey ran away with the younger monkey in a hurry and left the older alone. She climbed up a tree and held the younger in her arms.一天，他们正在森林里玩的时候，一只狼来了并向他们扑去。猴子匆忙带着小猴子跑了，单独留下大猴子。她跑着小猴子爬到树上。After some time, the wolf went away slowly. The monkey took the baby out of her arms. She was surprised to see that the baby had died, for the baby was held in arms toohighly. Very long time later, she remembered to look for the older baby. The older baby was hiding in a wood. So he saved himself.过些时候，狼慢慢地离开了。母猴从他的怀里放下小猴子。她吃惊的发现猴宝宝已经死了，因为小猴子在她的怀里被搂地太紧了。过了很长时间，她才想起去寻找那只大猴子。大猴子藏在一个大洞里，他救了自己。望采纳，谢谢
