A rhinoceros is a very large, heavy plant-eating animal from Africa or Asia, with thick folded skin and one or two horns sitting on its nose — not on the top of the head like a cow.

A rhinoceros犀牛 is是 a very large, heavy plant-eating animal from Africa or Asia一種來自非洲或亞洲、體型非常大又笨重的草食動物， with thick folded skin and one or two horns sitting on its nose皮膚厚而有皺褶，鼻子上長著一或兩根角 — not on the top of the head like a cow——不是像牛那樣長在頭頂。

Five kinds are still alive: two in Africa (the ones people call white and black, though the colours in those names do not help much) and three in Asia. Some have one horn, some two.

Five kinds are still alive現存還有五種： two in Africa兩種在非洲 (the ones people call white and black, though the colours in those names do not help much)（就是大家說的白犀牛和黑犀牛，不過名字裡的顏色其實幫不上什麼忙） and three in Asia另外三種在亞洲。 Some have one horn有些只有一根角， some two有些有兩根。

Their eyesight is poor, but they can still run fast if they feel trapped. People hunt them for the horn, so several kinds are in real danger.

Their eyesight is poor牠們的視力不好， but they can still run fast但如果覺得被困住，還是能跑得很快 if they feel trapped。 People hunt them for the horn人類為了角獵殺牠們， so several kinds are in real danger所以有好幾種都真的瀕臨危險。

Though actually, the horn is not bone; it is packed fibre, more like very hard hair, which is why the old claim that powdered horn is medicine was always a cruel mistake.

Though actually不過其實， the horn is not bone角不是骨頭， it is packed fibre而是緊密的纖維， more like very hard hair比較像非常硬的毛髮， which is why the old claim that powdered horn is medicine was always a cruel mistake這也是為什麼過去說磨成粉的犀牛角能當藥的說法，一直都是個殘忍的錯誤。

The English name is from Greek “nose-horn,” which is a fair description. We often shorten it to rhino.

The English name這個英文名字 is from Greek "nose-horn,"來自希臘文的「鼻角」 which is a fair description這算是滿貼切的描述。 We often shorten it to我們常把它簡稱成 rhino.rhino，也就是犀牛的簡稱。
