Question

Can dolphins (海豚) talk? Maybe they can’t talk with words, but they talk with sounds. They show their feelings (感覺) with sounds.

Dolphins travel in a group. We call a group of fish a “school”. They don’t study, but they travel together.

Dolphins talk to the other dolphins in the school. They give information. They tell when they are happy or sad or afraid. They say “welcome” when a dolphin comes back to the school. They talk when they play.

They make a few sounds above water. They make many more sounds under water. People can’t hear these sounds because they are very, very high. Scientists make tapes of the sounds and study them.

Sometimes people catch a dolphin for a large aquarium (水族館). People can watch the dolphins in a show. Dolphins don’t like to be away from their school in an aquarium. They are sad and lonely (孤獨(dú)的).
