托福TPO/【学术讲座】#9听力原文What does the speaker imply about the food that camels eat?【新东方在线】

听一段关于自然的广播节目内容。

Listen to part of a radio program about nature.

骆驼是一种特别适应在恶劣环境中生存的动物典型例子。

The camel is an example of an animal that is especially adapted to survive in harsh conditions.

First of all，camels have humps on their backs.

如今很多人认为骆驼的驼峰里储存着水。但事实并非如此。

Now many people think that camels hold water in their humps.But that is actually not true.

虽然骆驼确实需要储存水分，但它们驼峰里装的不是水，而是脂肪。

While camels do have to store water, what they carry in their humps is not water but fat.

这些脂肪是它们的应急能量储备，以备食物短缺时使用。

That’s their emergency supply of energy in case there’s little food to eat.

当然，如果在骆驼生活的地方很容易找到食物，它们就不需要携带这样的安全脂肪储备了。

Of course camels wouldn’t need to carry a safety supply of fat if it were easy to find something to eat where they live.

不幸的是，在沙漠里，骆驼有时要在烈日下行走好几天才能找到食物和水。

Unfortunately in a desert, camels can sometimes walk for days in the hot sun looking for food and water.

因此，当食物匮乏时，驼峰中的脂肪能让它们存活相当长的时间，甚至可以两周不进食。

So when there is little to eat，the fat from their hump allows them to survive for quite a long time, even up to two weeks without eating anything.

当骆驼有机会进食饮水时，它们会尽可能多地摄入。

When they do get an opportunity to eat and drink, camels consume as much as possible.

骆驼能喝下极大量的水，远超大多数动物在不生病前提下的饮水量。

A camel can drink incredible amounts of water，a lot more than most other animals can take in without getting sick.

要知道，任何动物的饮水量都是有限度的。

You see, there’s a limit on how much an animal can drink.

如果一种动物饮水量超过所需，甚至可能对其健康造成危害。

If an animal were to drink more than necessary, that could even be bad for that animal’s health.

但骆驼的身体不会因摄入过多水分而受到不良影响。

But a camel’s body does not suffer the effects of too much water.

在储存了充足的食物和水分后，骆驼就能在炎热的沙漠中继续生存好几天。

After it has stored up plenty of food and water, it can go on for days in a hot desert.

What false belief about camels does the speaker correct?

What does the speaker imply about the food that camels eat?

According to the speaker，what is harmful to most animals’ health?
