Arizona,It took 4 years to get it,but the rare photo Jack Childs captured near the border between Arizona and Mexico was well worth the wait.His automatic,motion-sensing camera took hundreds of photos of virtually everything that moves in the deserts of the Southwest,but in January he finally got his cat.2 There,running across the desert in the dark of night,was a wild jaguar,one of the most powerful animals in the world,and a rare visitor to the United States.3“Everybody said Id never get it,”says Childs,a retired Wildlife researcher.,NEXT,HOME,译 文,Text A(continued),NEXT,BACK,4 The picture of the jaguar was precisely what Childs was after,because scientists believe there is a chance that these wild cats might be attempting to“recolonize”the southern part of the United States.They were never there in large numbers,but jaguars used to roam across southern Arizona,New Mexico and even Southern California and Texas.Childs has been using 10 cameras at different sites in southern Arizona,and he will soon expand that number to 16.But just like the princess who had to kiss a lot of ugly“frogs”before finding her prince,Childs wound up with boxes full of bad photos before he got the one he was after.,译 文,Text A(continued 2),5“Weve got pictures of everything that lives in this country,”he says.“Wild pigs,mountains lions,black bears,a gray fox,and even illegal immigrants.”So far,he says,none of the humans captured on film have touched his cameras.6 Childs jaguar was the first photographed in North America in about six years.There were two other confirmed sightings in 1996,both by hunters who were looking for mountain lions.One of those hunters was Childs.7“I was lion hunting with my hounds,”says Childs,“I thought I was chasing a mountain lion,and it turned out to be a jaguar.”,NEXT,译 文,BACK,课文译文,1 杰克蔡尔兹花了4年时间才得到这张照片。但是这张在亚利桑那州和墨西哥交界处拍到的珍贵照片的确值得一等。他那套全自动、运动检测照相机实际上将在美国西南部沙漠上所有能够运动的都拍了下来。拍了数百张照片。到了一月份，他终于拍到了他要的大猫。2 照片上只见一只夜幕下飞奔于沙漠的野生美洲豹。这是世界上最强有力的动物之一，也是美国的稀客。3“所有人都说我永远也拍不到它，”蔡尔兹说。他是个退休的野生动物研究学者。,亚利桑那州的野生美洲豹,BACK,课文译文,4 这幅美洲豹的照片正是蔡尔兹梦寐以求的，因为科学家们认为有可能这些大野猫要将美国的南部地区“重新作为它们的定居点”。它们以前从未大量地在那儿出现过，但它们曾经穿行在亚利桑那州南部、新墨西哥州，甚至加利福尼亚州南部和德克萨斯州。蔡尔兹在亚利桑那州南部不同的地方安装了10架相机，很快这一数量将会增加到16架。但是，正如公主得先吻许多丑青蛙后才能找到她的王子一样，蔡尔兹拍了一箱又一箱没用的照片，最后才得到了他要的那一张。,BACK,课文译文,5“我们拍到了生活在这个地区的所有生物，有野猪、山狮、黑熊、灰狐，甚至非法移民。”他还说，到目前为止，他胶片上拍到的人没有一个动他的相机。6 蔡尔兹所拍的美洲豹是过去大约6年中在北美拍到的第一只。1996年另有两次有人确实见到过美洲豹，这两次都是由猎捕山狮的猎人看到的。其中一位猎人就是蔡尔兹。7 蔡尔兹说：“我当时正带着我的猎狗一起猎狮子。我原以为是在追一只山狮，结果却是一只美洲豹”。,BACK,It took 4 years to get it.,The sentence means“He worked for 4 years
