每日口說挑戰動物是怎麼感覺到「痛」的呢？ (How do animals experience pain? - Robyn J. Crook)

Wild, hurt animals are known to nurse their wounds, make noises to show their distress, and become reclusive. In the lab, scientists have discovered that animals like chickens and rats will self-administer pain-reducing drugs if they're hurting.

■administer[ədˋmɪnəstɚ] 給予，提供[（+to）]
[例句] The nurse administered the medicine to the sick child . 護士給生病的孩子服藥。
■reclusive [rɪˋklusɪv] 隱遁的、隱居的
Wild, hurt animals are known to nurse their wounds, make noises to show their distress, and become reclusive. In the lab, scientists have discovered that animals like chickens and rats will self-administer pain-reducing drugs if they're hurting.
受了傷的野生動物們會自己護理傷口、發出哀嚎聲來表達牠們的痛苦，並找地方躲起來。科學家發現到：在實驗室裡，雞和老鼠之類的動物受傷時，會自己取用舒緩疼痛的藥物。

Day 221

今天以詞組的方式來練習好了

to nurse their wounds
to show their distress
become reclusive
self-administer pain-reducing drugs

*hurt可以當「傷到...」以及「痛」
可以比較一下：
I hurt my finger, and it hurt.
我傷到手指，然後手指很痛。


斷句的原則是：遇到逗點就休息一下，除非你氣很長。逗點之外如果撐不下去，至少要把一個詞組唸完...
以下是參考用，念熟了就不用斷這麼多次啊！！！

Wild, hurt animals // are known to nurse their wounds, make noises // to show their distress, and become reclusive. In the lab, scientists have discovered // that animals like chickens and rats // will self-administer pain-reducing drugs // if they're hurting.
