Jeff and Lucy are visiting an insect ecology center to discover more about the wonders of nature.
J: Wow! Look at all these insects in the display cases.
L: Cool! This butterfly collection is amazing.
J: It’s hard to believe they all started out as tiny caterpillars.
L: I know. Nature is truly incredible. I’m going to the dragonfly section over there. Did you know they can fly in all directions—even backward?
J: Really? I had no idea. Hey, check out the size of this moth. Can you imagine that thing flying at you in the middle of the night?
L: Ugh. Don’t creep me out!

杰 夫: 很难相信牠们最初都是小小的毛毛虫。
露 西: 对啊。大自然真是不可思议。我要去那边的蜻蜓区。你知道牠们可以朝各个方向飞 ── 甚至是向后吗?
杰 夫: 真的吗?我完全不知道。嘿,看看这只蛾有多大。妳能想像牠半夜朝妳飞过来的样子吗?
露 西: 哎呀。别吓我!
