這個空調不用電

○張軍輝

Summer is here and the hardest time has come for those who are sensitive to heat.With the temperature going up,more and more people begin to turn on their electric fans or air-conditioners to reduce the pain from the hot weather.

Humans are lucky to have those inventions to live a better life.Of course some animals in the zoo can enjoy the same treatment too,but at the cost of losing their freedom.

It is a wonderful world with wonderful creatures.People are thought as the head of animals and the cleverest one,and meanwhile the most selfish one.Air conditioner is one of the inventions considered as selfish.Because when you sleep like a baby inside a room with air-conditioner on,you are making the outside hotter.

Some animals do better than men.For example,Saiga antelope has a bizarre nose works a bit like an air-conditioner.

This strange-looking fellow is found on the vast steppes of Kazakhstan and rarely seen by humans.

In summer it cools the air before it hits the antelope's lungs,and in winter it warms it.

夏天到了，對于怕熱的人而言，最難熬的時刻也到了。隨著氣溫升高，越來越多的人開始求助于電扇、空調來減輕炎熱感。

人類非常幸運，這些發明可以他們生活得更好。當然，動物園里的一些動物也可以享受這種待遇，不過，卻失去了自由。

這個奇妙的世界孕育了奇妙的生物。人類被認為是“動物之首”，也是最聰明的動物，當然，還是最自私的動物。空調就是人類眾多自私發明的一個。當你開著空調，酣然入睡時，卻讓房間外邊變得更熱。

有些動物比人類做得好。比如賽加羚羊就自帶空調，它奇特的鼻子可以像空調一樣工作。這個長相怪怪的家伙生活在哈薩克斯坦大草原上，人類很少能看到它們。

夏天，熱空氣在進入賽加羚羊肺之前，會被冷處理；冬季，冷空氣則會得到加熱。
