When summer arrives, cicadas begin to sing.   平平/PingPing： 牠們唱了一整天了耶！不會累嗎？: They've been singing all day! Don't they get tired?   Bear老師/Teacher Bear： 也許會累。可是，牠們等這一天，已經等了好幾年了。 Maybe they do. But they've been waiting for this day for many years.   平平/ PingPing： 好幾年？可是夏天不是只有幾個月嗎？ Many years? But summer only lasts a few months!   Bear老師/ Teacher Bear： 你知道嗎？蟬真正住的地方，不是樹上，而是地下。 Did you know? Cicadas don't really live in trees. They spend most of their lives underground.   平平/ PingPing： 地下？真的假的？ Underground? Really?   Bear老師/ Bear Teacher： 真的。蟬還是小寶寶的時候，叫做若蟲。 It's true! When cicadas are young, they're called nymphs.   牠們住在地下，用嘴巴吸樹根的汁液。 They live underground and feed on sap from tree roots.   有的住兩年，有的住五年，有的甚至住十幾年。 Some stay there for two years, some for five, and some even for more than ten years.   平平/PingPing： 十幾年啊？！牠們一定很想看看外面的世界。 More than ten years?! They must really want to see the world above.   Bear老師/ Bear Teacher： 對呀。 That's right.   有一天，牠們終於準備好了。晚上，牠們慢慢爬出泥土。 One day, they're finally ready. At night, they slowly crawl out of the ground.   平平/PingPing： 然後呢？ Then what happens?   Bear老師/ Bear Teacher： 牠們找到一棵樹，慢慢往上爬。 They find a tree and slowly climb up.   接著，舊殼裂開了。 Then their old shell splits open.   平平/PingPing： 裂開？像脫外套一樣嗎？ Splits open? Like taking off a jacket?   Bear老師/ Bear Teacher： 沒錯！牠們把舊殼留在樹上，長出新的身體，還有透明的翅膀。: Exactly! They leave their old shells behind and come out with a new body and transparent wings.   這個過程叫做羽化。 This process is called moulting.   平平/ PingPing： 原來樹上的空殼，就是蟬留下來的！ So that's why we find empty cicada shells on trees!   Bear老師/ Bear Teacher： 對。等翅膀乾了，牠們就飛上天空，開始唱歌。知了——知了——知了—— That's right. When their wings are dry, they fly into the sky and begin to sing. Crii… Crii… Crii…   平平/ PingPing： 牠們是在唱歌給大家聽嗎？ Are they singing for everyone?   Bear老師/ Bear Teacher： 其實，大部分唱歌的是公蟬。 Actually, most of the singers are male cicadas.   牠們是在說：「我在這裡！快來找我！」所以，這是蟬的求偶歌。 They're saying, "I'm here! Come find me!" It's their mating song.   平平/ PingPing： 原來牠們不是在開演唱會！ So they're not putting on a concert!   Bear老師/ Bear Teacher： 也可以這麼說。只是牠們的觀眾，是其他的蟬。 You could say that. Their audience is just other cicadas.   平平/ PingPing： 牠們等了好多年，可是飛出來以後，能活多久？ They waited for so many years. How long do they live after they come out?   Bear老師/ Bear Teacher： 其實，大部分的成蟲只能活幾個星期。 Most adult cicadas live for only a few weeks.   雖然時間不長，但是牠們完成了最重要的事情：唱歌、交朋友、留下下一代。 Even though their time is short, they do the most important things: sing, find a mate, and leave behind the next generation.   然後，新的小蟬又回到地下，開始下一次長長的等待。 Then the new baby cicadas return underground and begin another long wait.   平平/ PingPing： 原來如此，一隻蟬，要等好多年，才能唱一個夏天。 I see. A cicada waits for many years just to sing for one summer.   Bear老師/ Bear Teacher： 所以，當你聽到——知了——知了——知了——，不只是夏天到了，也代表一隻小蟬花了好多年成長、等待，終於迎來自己的夏天 So when you hear Crii… Crii… Crii…, it doesn't just mean summer has arrived. It also means one little cicada has spent years growing and waiting, and has finally welcomed its own summer.   平平/ PingPing： 嗯！祝牠們夏天快樂！ Yeah! Happy summer, little cicadas! －－－－以下為 SoundOn 動態廣告－－－－ 今年秋季帶你走進世界最美「楓」景~ 美加東五大賞楓勝地，遊船穿梭尼加拉瀑布。 可樂旅遊 台中出發星宇直飛， 日本關西、四國，紅葉秘境x溫泉饗； 韓國釜山，紅葉銀杏x國際煙火節。 今秋你想感受哪一種「楓」情？ 限量團位，快搜尋「可樂旅遊」與你分享世界的美好~ https://sofm.pse.is/9c9vms -- 【暑假首選】雄獅文具想像力製造所天天不休息！白色牆面隨你畫、泡泡雨空中飄，巨型 60 色色彩牆隨手拍都是網美大片！ 八月更有全新「彩耀日」戶外顏料射擊，暑假就是要玩好玩滿。 快來發揮想像力打包快樂！ 🎫手刀購票：https://sofm.pse.is/9cjlv5 -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
