M:Hello, listeners.People around the world are reporting that birds are much louder these days.
M:听众朋友们,大家好。世界各地的人们报告说,这些天鸟儿的声音要大得多。
Now I've connected with doctor order and let's hear what she will say.
现在我联系了医生,让我们听听她会怎么说。
W:Well, we feel that they're singing louder because they sing in typically noisy places.
W:嗯,我们觉得他们唱得更大声了,因为他们在通常嘈杂的地方唱歌。
But when the noise is gone, they think quieter than they normally do.
但当噪音消失后,他们会比平时更安静地思考。
M:So in other words, birds are like us in a noisy bar, for example, people will raise their voices.
M:换句话说,鸟儿就像我们在吵闹的酒吧里一样,比如,人们会提高嗓门。
W:Exactly. We know that birds sing quieter on the weekend mornings.
W:没错。我们知道,鸟儿在周末的早晨唱歌比较安静。
This is because the noise levels are lower than the weekday rush and that's probably what's happening now.
这是因为噪音水平低于工作日的高峰期,这很可能是现在正在发生的事情。
Here I've recorded a call, the songbird.Listen to see you can hear the difference.
我在这里录下了鸟儿的呼叫。听着看就能听出区别。
