    A walrus is a very large sea animal是一種非常巨大的海洋動物 that lives in the cold seas around the North Pole生活在北極周圍的寒冷海域。It has thick grey-brown skin有厚厚的灰棕色皮膚, whiskers on its face臉上有鬍鬚, flippers instead of legs用鰭代替腳, and two long white tusks coming down from the top of its mouth還有兩根從嘴巴上方垂下來的長長白色獠牙。

    It is heavy — much heavier than a person, often over a tonne — and it moves slowly and clumsily on land but swims well. It uses the to pull itself up out of the water onto ice and to fight other males.

    It is heavy牠很重 — much heavier than a person, often over a tonne比人重得多,常常超過一公噸 — and it moves slowly and clumsily on land but swims well在陸地上動作緩慢又笨拙,但游泳很厲害。It uses the tusks to pull itself up out of the water onto ice牠用獠牙把自己從水裡拉上冰面 and to fight other males也用來跟其他雄性打鬥。

    Walruses lie together in big groups on the ice or on beaches. The plural is usually walruses; you will also see walrus used for the plural, the way people say "deer", but walruses is safer.

    Walruses lie together in big groups on the ice or on beaches海象會成群躺在冰上或海灘上。The plural is usually walruses複數通常是 walruses; you will also see walrus used for the plural你也會看到 walrus 直接當複數用, the way people say 'deer'就像大家講「deer」(鹿)那樣, but walruses is safer但用 walruses 比較保險。

    The word turns up in two other places English speakers know well: a "walrus " is a thick that hangs down at both sides, like the animal's whiskers, and "I Am the Walrus" is a famous Beatles song, which is why the animal is oddly well known in pop culture.

    The word turns up in two other places English speakers know well這個字還會出現在英文使用者熟悉的另外兩個地方: a 'walrus moustache' is a thick moustache that hangs down at both sides, like the animal's whiskers「walrus moustache」是指兩邊垂下來的濃密鬍子,像海象的鬍鬚一樣, and 'I Am the Walrus' is a famous Beatles song而「I Am the Walrus」是披頭四的一首名曲, which is why the animal is oddly well known in pop culture這也是為什麼這種動物在流行文化裡意外地有名。
