Zoos are becoming facsimiles - or perhaps caricatures - of how animals once were in their natural habitat. If the right policies toward nature were pursued, we would need no zoos at all.

  • -- Michael J. Fox 迈克尔·J·福克斯

动物园正在变成动物曾经在自然栖息地生活的复制品——或者可能是漫画。如果对自然采取正确的政策,我们就根本不需要动物园了。

There is a better reason for studying zoology than its possible ‘usefulness’, and the general likeableness of animals. This reason is that we animals are the most complicated and perfectly designed pieces of machinery in the known universe. Put it like that, and it is hard to see why anybody studies anything else!

研究动物学有一个比它可能的“有用性”和动物的普遍可爱性更好的理由。这是因为我们动物是已知宇宙中最复杂、设计最完美的机器。这么说吧,很难理解为什么有人要学习其他东西!

Clearly, then, the city is not a concrete jungle, it is a human zoo.
