旁白：听一段生物课上讲座的一部分。

Narrator: Listen to part of a lecture in a Biology class.

教授：我们一直在讨论森林火灾，

Professor: So we've been talking about forest fires,

这个地区的动物，当然会跑掉，

the animals in the area will, of course run away,

尽可能快地逃离，以免被火焰伤害。

flee as fast as they can so as not to get hurt by the flames.

实际上从森林火灾中受益，所以它们会去寻找火灾。

actually benefit from forest fires, and so will seek them out.

因为森林火灾是有帮助的，可以帮助它们满足一定的生存需求。

Because forest fires can be helpful, can help them fulfill certain survival needs.

让我们来讨论森林火灾对这些动物的两种好处。

Let's discuss two benefits forest fires can have for these animals.

一个好处是，可以让捕食者更容易找到食物。

One benefit is that they can make it easier for predators to find food.

森林大火会把动物从藏身之处赶出，

A forest fire will force animals out of their hiding places and out into the open,

因为抓住逃跑的动物比它们躲藏的时候要容易得多。

because fleeing animals are much easier to catch than they normally are when they are hiding.

例如，科学家观察到野生火鸡这样做。

For example, scientists have observed wild turkeys doing this.

这些鸟会去到森林大火的边缘，

These birds will go to the edge of a forest fire,

在那里等着，为了抓住所有从燃烧的森林里跑出来的昆虫，

and wait there in order to catch all the insects running out of the burning forest,

比在地面上啄食昆虫，这是一种更容易的方法。

which is a much easier way to catch insects than the normal way of pecking for them on the ground.

森林火灾的另一个好处是可以为年轻动物的发展提供一个良好的环境。

Another benefit forest fires can have is to help provide a good place for the development of young animals.

森林火灾会使原本有害的环境更适合它们的发展。

Forest fires can make an otherwise harmful environment more suitable for their development.

例如，森林里的一些树木对甲虫有毒，

For example, some trees in the forest are poisonous to beetles,

它们有一种特殊的化学物质能使甲虫远离。

they have a special chemical that keeps beetles away.

甲虫会寻找这些树，因为树已经死了，

beetles will seek out these trees because the trees are dead,

而甲虫可以在树上产卵，而不会受到化学物质的伤害。

and beetles are able to lay their eggs in the trees without being hurt by the chemical.

这些年轻的甲虫把树当作营养，直到它们长成成年甲虫。

The young beetles use the tree as nourishment until they mature into adult beetles.
