Most people know little about the hard work and worry that go into the collecting of those fascinating birds and animals that they pay to see in the zoo. One of the questions that is always asked of me is 1A I became an animal collector in the first 2C . The answer is that I have always been interested in zoos and animals. According to my parents, the first word I was able to say with any 3A was not the conventional “mamma” or “daddy”, 4D the word “zoo”, which I would 5D over and over again with a shrill 6C until someone 7B me up and took me to the zoo. When I 8A a little older, we lived in Greece and I had a great 9C of pets, ranging from owls to seahorses, and I spent all my spare time 10D the countryside in search of fresh specimens to 11C to my collection of pets. 12A on I went to the City Zoo for a year, as a student 13D , to get experience of large animals, such as bears, lions, ostriches etc, 14D were not easy to keep at home. When I left, I 15D had enough money of my own to be able to 16D my first trip and I have been going 17B ever since then. Though a collector’s job is not easy and is full of 18C , it is certainly a job which will appeal 19C all those who love animals and 20B .
很多人都不知道，要收集那些他们花钱就能在动物园看到的可爱鸟儿和动物要付出多少艰辛。别人经常问到的问题之一，就是当初我如何成为一名动物收集者。答案就是我一直对动物园和动物很感兴趣。听父母说，我最早发清楚的音不是其他人所喊的“妈妈”或“爸爸”，而是“动物园”。我会不断地重复这个词并尖叫，直到有人带我去动物园才停止叫喊。等我长大了一些，一家人住在希腊，在那儿我养了很多宠物，从猫头鹰到海马。我花了很多时间到乡间寻找新的动物来增加宠物数目。后来，作为学生助理，我在市立动物园工作了一年，便可以接触大型动物，如熊、狮子、鸵鸟等等，这些动物是很难在家饲养的。离开动物园时，我成功地攒够了钱开始自己的第一次旅行。从那时起，我就经常出游。尽管收集动物这项工作不容易，失望也是常事，但它确实能够吸引所有热爱动物和游历的人。
