        【选段台词】
        Mowgli: The turtles like me. Maybe the crocodiles. What about the rhinos? They always let me hang around. Of course, the rhinos sleep standing up. I don't think I'd be very good at that. It's either the turtles or the crocodiles. Which one do you think is better?
        Bagheera: Neither.
        Mowgli: What do you mean?
        Bagheera: I'm bringing you to the man village.
        Mowgli: What? Bagheera, I don't know man.
        Bagheera: You will.
        Mowgli: You always said we're not supposed to go near a man village.
        Bagheera: That was different.
        Mowgli: Why is it different? You always said, "Stay away from the man village... because you might fall in a trap… or get eaten, or get hurt by flying rocks."
        Bagheera: I know what I said.
        Mowgli: Whoa. Elephants.
        Bagheera: Bow your head.
        Mowgli: Why?
        Bagheera: Show them respect. The elephants created this Jungle. Where they made furrows with their tusks the rivers ran. Where they blew with their trunks, the leaves fell. They made all that belongs. The mountains, the trees the birds in the trees. But they did not make you. That is why you must go.
        Mowgli: What if I live with the nilgai?
        Bagheera: No.
        Mowgli: Or the mongoose?
        Bagheera: This is not a discussion.
        Mowgli: But this is my home! I don't even know what man's like.
        Bagheera: You'll learn.
        Mowgli: But I wanna stay in the Jungle. Why do I have to go there?
        Bagheera: Because the Jungle is no longer safe for you. You're being hunted by a tiger. Only man can protect you now.
        Mowgli: Whoa!

        2. be good at
        因为犀牛是站着睡觉，毛克利说他觉得自己不擅长站着睡觉，所以还是乌龟或者鳄鱼合适。然后问黑豹那边更好，黑豹告诉他都不好，他要把他送到人类的村庄里去。be good at在这里是擅长的意思。
        3.be supposed to
        毛克利跟黑豹说，他不懂人类。黑豹说可以学习。但是毛克利很疑惑的说：“你不是一直跟我说我不应该接近人类村庄的吗？”be supposed to在这里是应该的意思。
        4.stay away from
        黑豹告诉毛克利现在不一样了，毛克利就说，“为什么不一样，你总说要离人类的村子远一点，有可能会掉陷阱里或者被石头打伤。”stay away from 在这里是远离的意思。
