新喀里多尼亚

I´m going to talk today about research into a particular species of bird—the New Caledonian crow, whose natural habitat is small islands in the Pacific Ocean.

我今天要讲的是对一种特殊鸟类的研究——新喀里多尼亚乌鸦，它的自然栖息地是太平洋上的小岛。

We´ve learnt a great deal about the ability of New Caledonian crows to use tools, and some very interesting research is being carried out into them.

我们已经了解了很多关于新喀里多尼亚乌鸦使用工具的能力，并且正在对它们进行一些非常有趣的研究。

One New Caledonian crow, called Betty, bent some straight wire into a hook and used it to lift a small bucket of her favourite food from a vertical pipe.

一只名叫贝蒂的新喀里多尼亚乌鸦把一根笔直的铁丝咬成一个弯钩，用它把一小桶她最喜欢吃的食物从一根垂直的管子里吊了出来。

So scientists want to find out much more about how the crows behave in their native habitat, and a team from Exeter and Oxford universities is carrying out research in New Caledonia.

因此，科学家们希望更多地了解乌鸦在它们的自然栖息地是如何活动的，而埃克塞特大学和牛津大学的一个研究小组正在新喀里多尼亚进行研究。
