Its name means that its foot is a part of its underside, or its belly. 提示 蝸牛是一種稱為腹足綱的軟體動物。 腹足是指足位于軀體的底面或腹面。 ●10 This snail is having a feast! It loves these fresh green leaves.

It cannot run away, so it hides inside its shell. Some snails make a sticky plug to seal up the hole. 遭受攻擊 從一只饑餓的甲蟲（手中）逃脫對于蝸牛來說很難。 蝸牛不能逃跑，所以它會藏在自己的殼里。 有一些蝸牛會制造黏性堵塞物用來封住洞口。 That’s not a snail!

It is a very quiet message, just like the spiders themselves in their glittery, beautiful webs. What is this message? ‘We aren’t insects.’ That’s right! Spiders aren’t insects. They just wanted you to know that. Now the spiders are happy. 蜘蛛不是昆蟲！ 所有的陸地蜘蛛都有一條消息要告訴你。 是一條非常清晰的信息，就像蜘蛛自己 在它們閃耀而又美麗的蜘蛛網(wǎng)般明確。 這條消息是什么呢？ “我們不是昆蟲?！?對啊！蜘蛛不是昆蟲。 它們很想讓你知道呢。 現(xiàn)在，蜘蛛們開心了。 ●扉頁 Are you ready to find out about spiders? 你準(zhǔn)備好了，來了解蜘蛛嗎？ Animal | Spider 動物 | 蜘蛛 原作者：Nopineopi 編寫者：Lisa Regan 插畫師：Tak Jeong-tae 標(biāo)題：蜘蛛不是昆蟲！ Spiders aren’t insects! 正文 ●01 The spider feels her web tingling. 'Who has woken me from my nap?' It is a dragonfly. The spider runs across her web towards it. 蜘蛛感到她的網(wǎng)一陣震顫。 “是誰把我從瞌睡中弄醒？” 是一只蜻蜓。 蜘蛛從她的網(wǎng)中梭向它。 ●04 The dragonfly wriggles and twists as it calls for help. But the harder it tries to escape, the more the web tangles around it. 蜻蜓扭擺著被纏繞的身體，一陣求救。 但是它越努力想要逃生，網(wǎng)就從各個角度纏得它越緊。 TIP Spiders make their webs out of a special silk. We call them cobwebs or spider webs. 提示 蜘蛛用一種特殊的絲織網(wǎng)。 （英文）我們稱它們?yōu)?cobwebs/ spider webs, 蜘蛛網(wǎng)。 ●05 The hungry spider wraps up the dragonfly in more silk. She bites it hard to inject it with her special juice. It dissolves the dragonfly so the spider can suck it up like a smoothie. 饑餓的蜘蛛用更多的絲把蜻蜓重重包裹。 她狠狠咬它，用她特殊的汁液注進(jìn)它體內(nèi)。 汁液能溶解掉蜻蜓，所以蜘蛛能像冰沙一樣吮吸它。 ●07 Spiders catch all sorts of creatures in their web and eat them. They love to feast on insects. So, how come spiders themselves aren’t insects? 蜘蛛在它們的網(wǎng)中捕捉各種生物，然后餐食它們。 它們喜愛把昆蟲當(dāng)成大餐。 所以，蜘蛛們怎么會認(rèn)為它們自己是昆蟲呢？ ●09 A spider’s body is different from that of an insect. Insects have three parts: their head, a middle section called the thorax, with the legs attached to it, and the end part called the abdomen. A spider has only two parts. Its head and its thorax are joined together, with a separate abdomen behind. Also, count the legs. Can you see the difference? Insects have six legs, while spiders have eight. 蜘蛛的軀體與昆蟲的有區(qū)別。 昆蟲的軀體分為三個部分： 它們的頭部，中間的部分稱為胸部， 腿附著在胸部，最后的部分稱為腹部。 蜘蛛僅僅只有兩個部分。 它的頭部和胸部是連在一起的，獨(dú)立的腹部在其后方。 同樣，數(shù)數(shù)它們的腿。 你能看出區(qū)別么？ 昆蟲有六條腿，而蜘蛛有八條。 ●11 Insects’ and spiders’ eyes are different, too. Insects have compound eyes made up of lots of tiny parts. They are good at spotting movements and seeing changes in light. 昆蟲和蜘蛛的眼睛也不同。 昆蟲的是復(fù)眼，由許多細(xì)小的部分組成。 復(fù)眼擅長偵查（物體的）移動，在光線下看到（物體的）變化。 ●12 A spider has eyes with a single lens, like our eyes. But a spider often has eight eyes lined up on its head! 蜘蛛的眼睛里有一個單獨(dú)的水晶體，就像人眼。 但是一只蜘蛛通常在它的頭頂上有八只眼排成一排。 ●14 A spider has a very clever body that can make its own silk. It shoots threads from its rear end to weave a fabulous, beautiful net. The web is where it lives, and is used for catching the spider’s next meal. 蜘蛛的身體非常靈巧，能自己產(chǎn)絲。 絲從它的尾部末梢被發(fā)射出來，編織出一張美妙、巨大的網(wǎng)。 網(wǎng)也是它生活的地方，也幫助蜘蛛捕捉接下來的每一餐。 ●16 Some of the spider’s web is sticky, to catch its food. But how does the spider move around without getting stuck? 有一些蜘蛛的網(wǎng)黏糊糊的，用以捕食。 但是當(dāng)蜘蛛在網(wǎng)四周移動的時候，怎么做到不被纏住的呢？ Tip Spiders can make different types of silk. Some is used to wrap up their victims. Some makes sticky traps in the web. Some of it is not sticky so the spider can walk across its own web easily. 提示 蜘蛛能制造不同的絲。 有一些絲拿來裹住（陷進(jìn)去的）受害者們。 有一些絲制成網(wǎng)中黏糊糊的陷阱。 而有一些絲，并不黏，蜘蛛便能在自己的網(wǎng)里輕松地橫行。 ●17 Not all spiders make webs to live on. Some hide on the ground or in leaves.
