The elephant is the biggest fourlegged animal in the world.It is also,perhaps,the gentlest ,but not always!
Elephants are like us in some ways.They live for a long time ― fifty or sixty years.They can remember things very well.They never forget great sadness or great happiness.If a female(雌性的)elephant dies,her daughters and her grand daughters are sad for many months.They stay with the dead body.Then they carry a bit of it away with them.They never forget a dead friend.
Elephants are like us,but they are also different.They live in families of females.There will be a few young males ― a few “baby boys”.But the females will soon send them away.An elephant family keeps only its daughters,mothers and its great grandmothers.
The females stay together for fifty,sixty...a hundred years.The older animals look after the younger ones.The mothers teach their daughters and set a good example.

大象是世界上最大的四條腿的動物.它也許有時候很溫順,但不是一直都很溫順.
大象有的時候和我們很象.他們可以生存很多年-50或者60年.他們的記性很好.他們從來不會忘記很傷心和很快樂的事情.如果一只母象死了,它的女兒和它的孫女會傷心好幾個月.它們會一直陪伴在死去的尸體身旁.它們永遠不會忘記一個死去的朋友.
大象很象我們,但是也有不同的地方.它們是母系氏族.但是里面會有很年輕的雄性---幾個幼童雄性.但是這些磁性大象會很快將它們趕離群體.一個大象家庭只有女兒,媽媽和外婆們.
母象們一直待在一起,五十年,六十年...一百年.更年長一些的照顧年輕的.媽媽們教養(yǎng)她們的女兒們,會做一個很好的榜樣.
