　　Horse Talk

　　Do you know horses talk? You can learn to understand "horse talk"if you pay close attention to them.When horses live in the wild,other animals try to eat them,so a lot of horse talk is about staying alive.Even now,when most horses live on farms,they watch for danger.For this reason,never walk behind a horse.If you surprise it,the horse might mistake you for a lion or wolf and give a dangerous kick.By watching the ears,you can get clues to what the horse is hearing.A horse can turn each ear in a different direction.For a wild horse,this skill is important for survival.The horse can hear something creeping up behind it while also checking out a threatening noise in front.When a horse lets its ears down,it's feeling safe and relaxed.Though these actions may be natural responses and not deliberate communications,they help you know what the horse is thinking.Sometimes horses can send definite messages.For example,they know they are safer when they're with other horses.If they become isolated,they “whinny(嘶鸣)，”calling for company.They're saying,"Where are you? I'm over here!”Domestic horses use the same sounds to stay in touch with other horses.If a horse snorts(打响鼻儿)，it's not communicating anything.It's just clearing dust or grass seed out of its nose.But if it snorts while holding its head high and staring at something, it's saying,“That looks dangerous.Get ready to run!"When two horses meet,they put their noses together and smell each other's breath.It's their way of asking,“Are you a friend?”Horses also “blow,"breathing out the air loudly through the nose,when they meet something strange.They are asking,“Is this safe?”Horses have a language of their own.Now you know a bit of what they might be saying!

　　马说

　　你知道马会说话吗?你可以学会理解“马话”，如果你密切关注他们。当马生活在野外时，其他动物会试图吃掉它们，所以很多关于马的谈话都是关于生存的。即使是现在，当大多数马生活在农场时，它们也会注意危险。因此，永远不要跟在马后面走。如果你给它一个惊喜，马可能会误以为你是狮子或狼，并发出危险的踢。通过观察马的耳朵，你可以知道马听到了什么。马的两只耳朵可以向不同的方向转动。对于野马来说，这项技能对于生存很重要。马可以听到身后有东西爬上来，同时也能注意到前面有威胁的声音。当马垂下耳朵时，它感到安全和放松。虽然这些行为可能是自然反应，而不是刻意的交流，但它们可以帮助你了解马在想什么。有时马可以发送明确的信息。例如，它们知道和其他马在一起会更安全。如果他们变得孤立,他们“嘶(嘶鸣),“呼吁公司。他们说:“你在哪里?”我在这里!家马用同样的声音来和其他马保持联系。如果不屑的一匹马(打响鼻儿),它不是任何交流。它只是在清除鼻子里的灰尘或草籽。但如果它昂着头盯着什么东西看的时候哼了一声，它就在说，“看起来很危险。”准备跑吧!“两匹马相遇时，它们会把鼻子凑在一起，闻对方的呼吸。这是他们问“你是朋友吗?”的方式。当马遇到奇怪的东西时，它们也会“吹”，通过鼻子大声地呼出空气。他们在问，“这安全吗?”马有自己的语言。现在你知道他们可能会说些什么了!
