女Hi, everyone. I'm Dr Rachel Moore from Northfield University, and I'm here to tell you about our Young Scientists Week. It takes place in the first week of August, from Monday to Friday, and it's for students aged fourteen to seventeen. Every morning there are talks from university researchers, and in the afternoons you'll work in our labs. This year's topic is the ocean, so on Thursday we're taking everyone on a boat trip to collect water samples. The course costs a hundred and twenty pounds, but if your family can't afford that, we have some free places. You'll stay in student rooms on the campus, and all meals are included. On the last day, each group gives a presentation to their parents. To apply, just fill in the form on our website before the thirtieth of June.
大家好，我是北原大學的瑞秋·摩爾博士，來介紹我們的「小小科學家週」。活動在八月第一週，星期一到星期五，給十四到十七歲的學生參加。每天早上有大學研究人員的演講，下午在我們的實驗室做實驗。今年的主題是海洋，所以星期四會帶大家搭船出海採集海水樣本。課程費用一百二十英鎊，如果家裡負擔不起，我們也有一些免費名額。大家住在校園裡的學生宿舍，三餐全包。最後一天，每組要向家長做一場簡報。報名請在六月三十日前填寫我們網站上的表格。

女My guest today is Sam Ellis, a wildlife photographer whose pictures of foxes in the city have become famous online. Sam, how did you start?
今天的來賓是野生動物攝影師山姆·艾利斯，他拍城市狐狸的照片在網路上很紅。山姆，你是怎麼開始的？
男I got my first camera when I was fifteen — it was my grandad's old one. I started by photographing birds in our garden, because I couldn't go far.
我十五歲拿到第一台相機，是爺爺的舊相機。我先拍我家院子裡的鳥，因為我沒辦法跑太遠。
女Why foxes?
為什麼拍狐狸？
男One night I saw a fox sitting at a bus stop near my flat, completely relaxed. I thought: people don't realise how many wild animals live right next to them in the city.
有一天晚上，我看到一隻狐狸坐在我家附近的公車站，完全很放鬆。我心想：大家都沒發現城市裡有多少野生動物就住在身邊。
女Is it difficult to photograph them?
拍牠們很難嗎？
男Very. They're active at night, so the light is poor. I often wait for hours and get nothing. Patience is more important than an expensive camera.
很難。牠們晚上才活動，光線很差。我常常等好幾個小時什麼都拍不到。耐心比貴的相機重要。
女Your photos got a lot of attention last year.
你的照片去年受到很多關注。
男Yes — one was chosen for a national competition. Since then, I've been asked to give talks in schools, which I love.
對，有一張入選全國比賽。從那之後，常有學校請我去演講，我很喜歡。
女What's next?
接下來呢？
男I'm working on a book about wildlife in cities, with photos from ten different countries. I'm off to Tokyo next month.
我在做一本關於城市野生動物的書，有十個國家的照片。下個月我要去東京。
