早晨，我们怀着急切的心情，去看日本名古屋市送给南京市的一对长颈鹿。这一对长颈鹿，一头叫阿国，一头叫山头。它们在特制的房子里和宽阔的草地上悠闲地迈着步子，贪婪地吃着鲜嫩的树叶。

morning, we waited eagerly for a giraffe, to see the japanese city of nagoya to the city of nanjing. the giraffe, a call a guo, a call hill. they are in a special room and spacious lawn leisurely paced, greedily eating fresh leaves.

长颈鹿浑身浅黄，身上长满大小形状不同的棕黄色网状斑纹。它们要是站在树丛里，就很难被人发现。长颈鹿是世界最高的动物，它们不光脖子长，连脸也是长长的。长颈鹿的头像个瞭望台似的，眼睛又大又机灵，可望得很远很远。

the giraffe was pale yellow, covered with different size and shape of brown reticular markings. if they stand in the trees, it is difficult to be found. the giraffe is the highest in the world of animal, they are not only a long neck, face is long. the giraffe's head like a lookout, eyes are big and bright, is expected to be far away.

长颈鹿只要挺直长腿，伸长脖子，仰起头就能毫不费劲地吃到七八尺搞的树叶。但是要吃地上的水和草就要用力把两条腿叉开，低下头才能吃到。好不费劲!

as long as the giraffe straight legs, neck, head can effortlessly to eat seven or eight feet out of the leaves. but to eat on the water and grass will be hauled the two legs splayed, lower the head to eat. had little trouble!

长颈鹿没有声带，是个哑巴。它身上的皮很厚，不怕刺扎。

giraffe have no vocal cords, is a mute. its skin is very thick, not afraid of thorn.

长颈鹿跑起来也挺有意思的：前后两腿同时一边摆动，一上一下的，简直像个钟摆，当跑得飞快。

the giraffe runs is also quite interesting: before and after the legs while swinging, up and down, just like a pendulum, when run fast.

长颈鹿头上的一对角是非常名贵的中药材，据说，虽然长颈鹿的脖子很长，低下头却不会得高血压。这一点，在医学界引起了浓厚的兴趣。现在，有许多医学工作者正在研究这一课题，一便将来造福人类。

the giraffe's head a diagonal is a very rare herbs, it is said that, although the giraffe's neck is very long, low the head but not to have hypertension. to this point, has aroused strong interest in the medical community. now, there are many medical workers are studying this subject, then the future for mankind.
