北極熊通常生活在海冰上，以海豹為食。然而，全球氣溫上升導致極端高溫，冰層正在消融。許多北極熊不得不躺在泥濘或岩石地上休息，以恢復體力。有些雌熊在照顧幼崽時顯得筋疲力盡。人類活動，例如工業排放，是造成這些變化的主要原因。沒有了冰層，北極熊無法有效地捕獵，面臨嚴峻的生存挑戰。北極熊在陸地上掙扎求生的畫面提醒我們，必須採取行動保護野生動物，並減少氣候變遷的負面影響。
What challenges do animals face during hot summers?
How does melting ice affect polar bears’ hunting?
Why do humans have a responsibility to protect wildlife?
Polar bear (n.) 北極熊 [ˈpoʊ.lɚ beər]
A large bear that lives mainly in the Arctic and hunts seals for food.
Example: The polar bear struggles to find food as the ice melts.
北極熊因為冰塊融化而努力尋找食物。
Mud (n.) 泥土 [mʌd]
Soft, wet earth.
Example: After the rain, the cubs played in the thick mud.
下雨後，小熊仔們在濕軟的泥土裡玩耍。
Heat (n.) 高溫，炎熱 [hiːt]
The quality of being hot or very warm.
Example: The Arctic heat is unusual but dangerous for polar bears.
北極的高溫不尋常，但對北極熊很危險。
Hunt (v.) 捕獵 [hʌnt]
To chase and kill animals for food.
Example: Without ice, polar bears cannot hunt seals efficiently.
沒有冰塊，北極熊無法有效地捕獵海豹。
Exhausted (adj.) 疲憊的 [ɪɡˈzɔːs.tɪd]
Very tired or worn out.
Example: The mother bear looked exhausted after searching for food.
母熊找食物後看起來非常疲憊。
Human activity (n.) 人類活動 [ˈhjuː.mən ækˈtɪv.ə.ti]
Actions done by humans that can affect the environment.
Example: Human activity has accelerated climate change in the Arctic.
人類活動加速了北極的氣候變化。
A: Look at the polar bear lying on the mud. Why is it so exhausted?
B: The heat is extreme, and it cannot hunt for seals easily.
A: Do humans have an effect on polar bears?
B: Yes. Human activity like pollution and global warming melts the ice.
A: What can we do to help these animals?
B: We should protect their habitats and reduce harmful human activity.
Polar bears usually live on sea ice and hunt seals for food. However, rising global temperatures cause extreme heat, and the ice is disappearing. Many polar bears lie on mud or rocky land, trying to rest and recover energy. Some mothers look exhausted while caring for their cubs. Human activity, such as industrial emissions, is a major cause of these changes. Without ice, polar bears cannot hunt efficiently and face serious survival challenges. Images of bears struggling on land remind us that we must act to protect wildlife and reduce the negative effects of climate change.
