不！ 它靠邊緣太近了，然后滑了進(jìn)去。

The plant digests the bee. Some of the largest
tropical pitcher plants can even eat mice and frogs.
That is why these two are trembling with fright!
豬籠草消化掉蜜蜂。
一些最大的熱帶豬籠草甚至可以吃掉老鼠和青蛙。

蒼蠅安心踏到捕蠅草上，而捕蠅草靜靜地保持敞開。
Chomp! Then suddenly the flytrap closes its mouth.
嘎吱嘎吱！旋即，捕蠅草猛地關(guān)上了它的嘴。

‘Ha! I like to fool those flies!
When they land on me the first time, I just wait.
Then when they come back a second or third time, I snap my leaves shut!’
The Venus flytrap uses juices like a person’s stomach, to digest the bugs.
“哈！我喜歡愚弄那些蒼蠅！
當(dāng)它們一開始觸到我身上，我只需等待。
隨后，當(dāng)它們第二或第三次，放心的踏上來，我倏的一下合上我的葉子！”
捕蠅草用它的汁液，就像人的胃（液）一樣，消化蟲子。
