  1. 1nB1/ˈwaɪldlaɪf/野生動植物

    Animals and plants that live and grow in nature, not looked after by people.

    示範例句 · Example

    We saw lots of wildlife on the mountain trail.

    逐字我們在山徑上看到很多野生動植物。

    「wildlife」指在大自然裡自己生長的動物和植物，不是人養的。它是不可數名詞，講的是整體的野生生物：protect wildlife（保護野生動植物）、wildlife habitat（野生動物棲地）。注意雖然中文常說「野生動物」，wildlife 其實也包含植物。

core核心畫面

You can picture everything living in a forest or a river with nobody feeding it, fencing it, or watering it — birds, deer, fish, insects, the trees and grass too. Wildlife is that whole living side of a place, taken as one thing. It has no plural and takes no a: you say a lot of wildlife, never a wildlife.

wildlife 可以想成一片森林或一條河裡所有自己活著的東西：沒有人餵、沒有人圍起來、也沒有人澆水——鳥、鹿、魚、昆蟲，連樹和草也算在內。它把一個地方「活的那一面」整個當成一件事來講。這個字不可數，也不加 a：說 a lot of wildlife，不會說 a wildlife。
