《Do Fish Breathe Water?》鱼能呼吸吗
当你小的时候，有没有想过：鱼，是怎么呼吸的？它在水里为什么没有淹死呢？那为什么我们在游泳的时候不能像鱼一样自由的呼吸呢？
Joey has a pet. Her name is Goldie. She lives in a bowl. Goldie is a fish-a shiny goldfish.
乔伊有一只宠物。她的名字叫戈尔迪。她住在一只碗里。戈尔迪是只条鱼——一条闪闪发亮的金鱼。
Once a week, Joey takes Goldie out of her bowl. He cleans her bowl so she can grow strong and healthy.
每一个星期，乔伊都会把戈尔迪从她的碗里拿出来。他会给她的碗做一次清洁工作，以保证她能够健康地生长。
When Joey’s parents gave him Goldie, they said,” You will have to learn to take care of her.” So, Joey started learning a lot about fish.
想当初，乔伊把戈匀迪交给他的时候，他们说，“你得学着照顾它。”所以，乔伊开始学习很多关于鱼的知识。
Joey used to think fish did not breathe, “How can they breathe in the water?” he thought. “When I swim, I cannot breathe if I put my head under the water!”
乔伊曾经认为鱼不会呼吸。“他们在水里是如何呼吸的？”他想着：“当我游泳的时候，如果我把头埋在水里，是不能够呼吸空气的。”
But fish get air in a different way. They have ”gills” on the sides of their heads.
但鱼以不同的方式获取空气。它们的头部两侧有“鳃”。
Joey learned that water has oxygen in it. The water passes through the gills. The fish get their oxygen from the water.
乔伊认识到，原来水里面也有氧气。水从鱼鳃经过，鱼就从水里面呼吸到了氧气。
When Joey cleans the fish bowl, he puts Goldie in a small glass of water. That way, she can breathe while he cleans her home.
当乔伊清洗鱼缸的时候，他会把戈尔迪放到一个装着水的玻璃杯里。那样，她就可以在他做清洁的时候呼吸了。
