what it looks like③
and explain your feelings about this animal.④
其实这道题与2007年的Describe a wild animal大同小异,甚至是几乎不变。仅仅是变了一下脸,就继续拿出来作为2008年的新题。其实还是考察考生对事物题中,动物的描述。建议考生在准备的时候变通一下,把此题当作wild animal来准备。原因很简单:有趣的动物不一定是野生动物,而野生动物却可以很有趣。
The Beauty ---- Mandarin ducks
I happened to meet the Mandarin Ducks over the years in the wild area of Ampere Garden, in ponds along the big drainage. And, Im 100% sure they were not normal Ducks. It was in the wild and free to fly off whenever it wanted to!
The male mandarin duck is way more colorful, his breast is purple with two vertical white bars and the flanks ruddy, with two orange sails at the back. The female is similar to female Wood Duck, all dark green brown. Male Mandarin ducks are considered by many to be the most beautifully colored of all waterfowl.
In China, the mandarin duck is associated as a Chinese weddings symbol, because it symbolizes wedded bliss and fidelity. A Chinese proverb for loving couples uses the Mandarin Duck as a metaphor: Two mandarin ducks playing in water. Mandarin ducks are always depicted in a pair it is said that if the ducks were separated, they would pine for each other and die of loneliness. Dying of loneliness for love might only be a romantic myth and a cheerful reflection of peoples attitude to reality.
Anyway, I love these lovely creatures; I wish I could raise one.
