#24 Luckiest job in the world – Panda keeper 最幸福的工作-熊猫饲养员

大家好，欢迎回来MaoMi Chinese。今天我想和大家聊聊一份特别的工作，也可能是世界上最幸福的工作-大熊猫饲养员。

你们喜欢熊猫吗？如果你喜欢熊猫，一定要到中国四川成都的大熊猫基地，在这里你会看到很多毛茸茸的可爱的熊猫。几乎没有中国人不喜欢熊猫，所以四川的大熊猫基地总是有很多游客，他们都想来看一看可爱的熊猫。

熊猫是中国的国宝。他们以前只生长在中国，后来一些国家的动物园会花钱向中国租熊猫，因为全世界喜欢熊猫的人特别多，人们也愿意花钱去看熊猫。

大熊猫基地里有很多熊猫饲养员。他们的工作是什么呢？比如，打扫熊猫住的地方，给熊猫喂食物，照顾熊猫宝宝，等等。这些工作一点儿都不轻松，但是很多人说，这可能是世界上最幸福的工作了。因为熊猫太可爱了！毛茸茸的，太可爱了！熊猫宝宝非常粘人，他们喜欢和饲养员玩儿。有时候，饲养员在打扫，熊猫宝宝会紧紧抱着饲养员的大腿，想让饲养员和他们玩。真让人哭笑不得！

现在我们一起来听一听，梅燕，一位熊猫饲养员说说她是怎么看熊猫的：

“其实熊猫吧，我们觉得它什么都挺萌的。就是我觉得它有一点不好：熊猫有一个习惯就是边吃边拉。它可以上面吃，下面拉，我跟你说。”

梅燕说，他们熊猫饲养员觉得熊猫什么都挺萌的。萌，是一个流行语，意思是可爱，非常可爱。但是熊猫有一个坏习惯，就是边吃边拉。边……边……意思是同时做两件事情。熊猫边吃边拉，意思是它们吃东西的时候也在拉屎。它们边吃边拉，真让人哭笑不得！

我们再来听一听梅燕的话吧：

“其实熊猫吧，我们觉得它什么都挺萌的。就是我觉得它有一点不好：熊猫有一个习惯就是边吃边拉。它可以上面吃，下面拉，我跟你说。”

最后我们来说一说今天的词语吧！

第一个，毛茸茸的，fluffy。你可以说：“熊猫毛茸茸的。”“毛茸茸的小动物特别可爱。”

第二个，萌，意思是可爱，非常可爱。你可以说：“啊，熊猫太萌了！”“这个女生好萌啊！”

第三个，哭笑不得。你可以说：“我的孩子总是做一些蠢事，真让人哭笑不得！”

好啦，今天的MaoMi Chinese 就先到这里。如果是你的话，你会愿意做熊猫饲养员吗？欢迎在MaoMi Chinese的网站上告诉我哦！

Hello everyone. Welcome back to MaoMi Chinese. Today I would like to talk about a very special job, which also may be the luckiest job in the world: panda keeper.

Do you like pandas? If you do, you must go to the Panda Research Base in Chengdu, Sichuan, China. There you can see loads of fluffy, cute pandas. There are few Chinese people who don’t like pandas, therefore in the Panda Research base, there are always lots of visitors. They want to come and see cute pandas.

Pandas are national treasures of China. Previously they only grow in China. Later on, some zoos in different countries would pay and rent pandas from China, because there are many panda lovers in the world and people would like to pay to see pandas.

In the Panda Research base, there are lots of panda keepers. What is their work like? They will, for example, clean the pandas' living space, feed them food, look after panda babies and so on. Sometimes, panda keepers are cleaning and panda babies will tightly cling on their legs. They want keepers to play with them. This is annoying but funny!

Now let’s have a listen, Meiyan, a panda keeper talking about what she thinks of pandas.

“Actually pandas… we think it’s cute in all ways except one thing, I think. Pandas have a bad habit. They eat and poo at the same time. They can eat with their mouth and poo with their bum.”

Meiyan said that the panda keepers think pandas are cute in all ways. Méng, is a buzzword, which means 'very cute'. But pandas have a bad habit. They eat and poo at the same time. 边……边……means doing 2 things at the same time.

Now let’s listen to Meiyan one more time:

“Actually pandas… we think it’s cute in all ways except one thing, I think. Pandas have a bad habit. They eat and poo at the same time. They can eat with their mouth and poo with their bum.”

At last, let’s talk about today’s key vocabs!

1, fluffy. You can say: “Pandas are fluffy.” “Fluffy animals are very cute.”

2,méng, which means very cute. You can say: “Pandas are so cute!” “That girl is adorable!”

3, annoying but funny, makes people laugh and annoy. You can say: “My child always do something stupid. It makes me laugh and feel annoyed!”

That’s all about today. If it were you, would you like to be a panda keeper? Leave comments MaoMi Chinese website!
