话说去年3月份有15头大象离开了云南的西双版纳国家自然保护区一路北上。他们翻山涉水，途径村庄,森林和城市，走到哪吃到哪，让当地人民伤透脑筋。这些大象跋涉了一年多还没看到要停下来的迹象。他们到底要去哪里呢？今天的看新闻学英语我们就来看一下这则消息。在看新闻的同时，我会讲解里面涉及到的英语单词的发音，用法，以及学习英语时要注意的一些事情。
我们先逐句来把这段新闻看懂：
A wandering herd of elephants has reached the edge of a bigChinese city as authorities rush to close off roads and neighbourhoods toprotect both the animals and people.
It’s not clear why the 15 elephants made their long trek, which has beendocumented and monitored both on the ground and from the air by a dozen drones. Authoritieshave urged peoplein areas where the elephants have traveled to stay indoors and are blocking roads with construction equipment while seeking to lure theanimals away with food.
The Xinhua News Agency reported Thursday the elephants by lateWednesday night had reached the Jinning district on the edge of Kunming, a city of 7 million people that is thecapital of Yunnan province.
今天要为大家讲解的单词是：
Wander /‘w-o-n-d-r/：游荡，闲逛，走神
Wonder /‘w-UH-n-d-r/：惊奇
Herd: 这个词是兽群，或者民众的意思
Herd immunity: 群体免疫
Authority：权利，威信，当局，这是名词
Author: 名词，作者，发起人
Authorize: 动词，批准，授权
Trek：长途旅行，跋涉，这个既可以是名词，也可以是动词
Monitor：做名词讲是显示器，检测器。在原文里做动词，是观察，监视的意思
Drone /j-R-uh-oo-n/:无人机，嗡嗡声，或者雄峰
Lure:引诱
District:地区，街区
Edge：这个词意思很多，作为名词有边缘，锋芒，也有刀刃的意思，作为动词也可以是慢慢挪动
大象一家子来了一场说走就走的旅行，不错，人家可是活得比我潇洒多了，贼羡慕。今天就到这，别忘了订阅我们的频道。我是英语调音师 Jerry. I’ll catch you later.
