[Intro]
Hello, Voicetubers, this is Ashley. Today we're talking about pigeons. I personally like pigeons. I like to see them waddle (搖搖晃晃地走) around with their adorably (可愛的) plump (微胖的) bodies. Their iridescent (虹彩斑斕的) necks that shine green and purple always fascinate me. However, some consider them disgusting and annoying since they carry germs and often take up squares and parks. Why are pigeons everywhere? There are some reasons for that, which we can find out in the video. But before that, here's our sentence of the day:

In 1972, the Environmental Protection Agency banned DDT, and as a result: "Those predators are now moving back into the city."
在 1972 年，美國國家環境保護署禁止了 DDT，也因此「那些獵食者現在搬回了城市。」

[Vocab]
1. environmental (adj.) 環境的
The environmental activist urges world leaders take immediate action against climate change.
那位環保活動人士呼籲世界領導人對於氣候變遷採取立即的作為。

2. ban (v.) 禁止
The film is banned in several countries since it mentions some sensitive racial and religious issues.
這部電影在好幾個多國家都被禁止播映，因為它提及了一些敏感的種族和宗教議題。

ban (n.) 禁令
這個字這一年來很常用，因為疫情一直害大家無法出國玩 :(
旅遊禁令就是叫 travel ban。
Sea ban was a series of policies that China implemented in the Ming and Qing Dynasty, isolating itself from other countries and restricting international trade.
海禁政策是中國在明朝和清朝所執行的一系列政策，藉此將自己孤立自其他國家，並限縮國際間的貿易。

3. predator (n.) 掠食者
Although many believe predators cause great harm to prey animals, they play an important role in maintaining a healthy and balanced ecosystem.
雖然很多人都覺得掠食者對它們的獵物造成很大的傷害，但牠們也在維持生態系統的健康與平衡上扮演重要的角色。

[Outro]
Okay, so that's it for our vocabulary. Remember, don't feed your feathered friends, even if you love pigeons. They are animals anyway, and they are not supposed to rely on humans for food. Otherwise, they might get into the habit of gathering around, and can even be aggressive to those who feed them! What do you guys think about these winged(長翅膀的) city dwellers? Do you enjoy seeing them around or just wanna yell "Goodbye and good-riddance!" (這句話有點像中文的「慢走不送！」) at them? Comment below and leave your recordings. I'll see you next week, bye!

☺In 1972, the Environmental Protection Agency banned DDT, and as a result: "Those predators are now moving back into the city."
1972 年，美國國家環境保護署禁止了 DDT，也因此「那些捕食性動物現在又回到城市裡了。」
