听力原文及翻译

When we get to the rocky area inhabited by first seals, we'll stop and watch them swimming around the coast. They're inquisitive creatures, so don't be surprised if one pops up right in front of you. Their predators, orca whales, hunt along the coastline too, but spotting one of these is rare. 

当我们到达第一批海豹栖息的岩石区域时，我们会停下来观看它们在海岸边游泳。它们是好奇的生物，所以如果一只海豹突然出现在你面前，不要感到惊讶。它们的捕食者虎鲸也在海岸线上捕猎，但发现其中一只虎鲸的情况很少见。

Dolphins, on the other hand, can sometimes approach on their own or in groups as they ride the waves beside us. Lastly, I want to mention the caves. Tasmania is famous for its caves, and the ones we'll pass by are so amazing that people are lost for words when they see them. 

另一方面，海豚有时会独自或成群结队地靠近我们，它们在我们身边乘风破浪。最后，我想提一下洞穴。塔斯马尼亚以其洞穴而闻名，我们经过的洞穴非常神奇，人们看到它们时会说不出话来。

They can only be approached by sea, but if you feel that you want to see more than we're able to show you, then you can take a kayak into the area on another day, and one of our staff will give you more information on that. 

只能通过海路接近它们，但如果你想看更多我们无法向你展示的东西，那么你可以在另一天乘皮划艇进入该地区，我们的一名工作人员会为你提供更多信息。

What we'll do is to go through a narrow channel, past some incredible rock formations, and from there we'll be able to see the openings to the caves. And at that point, we'll talk to you about what lies beyond.

我们要穿过一条狭窄的通道，经过一些令人惊叹的岩层，然后我们就能看到洞穴的入口。然后，我们会告诉您洞穴后面的情况。
