Taylor: Turtles lay their eggs in the sand. The temperature of the sand is important.

泰勒：海龟在沙子里产卵。沙子的温度很重要。

Rob: I know! If the sand is hotter, more baby turtles will be female.

罗布：是啊！如果沙子更热一些，小海龟更多的会是雌性。

Taylor: But the turtle's habitat is disappearing.

泰勒：但是海龟的栖息地正在消失。

Rob: Yes. People build on beaches. So turtles don't have a place to make a nest.

Linda: What do you think about turtles, Alex?

琳达：阿莱克斯，你觉得海龟怎么样？

Alex: Well, they're delicious.

阿莱克斯：恩，它们味道很不错。

Linda: Alex! That's terrible.

琳达：阿莱克斯！你也太可怕了。

Alex: I'm just joking. But some people do like to eat turtles.

阿莱克斯：我开个玩笑。但是有一些人确实喜欢吃海龟。

Linda: They shouldn't. Five of the seven kinds of sea turtles are in danger. We should protect them, not eat them.

琳达：他们不应该这样。七种海龟中有五种已经濒临灭绝。我们应该保护它们，而不是吃它们。

Alex: Yes. We can stop hunting them. And we can use less plastic, too. If turtles eat plastic, they will get sick.

阿莱克斯：是的。我们可以停止猎杀它们。我们也可以少用塑料。如果海龟吃了塑料，它们就会生病。
