There’s a bit of post-Christmas cheer on the menu for elephants and other tenants at the Berlin Zoo: they can chomp on Christmas trees that didn’t find a home.
柏林動物園的大象和其他房客的菜單上，有一些耶誕節後的菜餚：牠們可以咀嚼沒有找到家的耶誕樹。
The tree treats were unwrapped Thursday in what has become an annual event. Elephants tore off branches with their trunks and either gobbled them or tossed them around their enclosure.
大樹饗宴週四開席，這已成一年一度活動。大象用牠們的象鼻扯下樹枝，吞掉它們或扔到牠們的圍欄四周。
The European bison nestled into the trees before starting to munch on them. And reindeer sniffed and played with the conifers.
歐洲野牛開始咀嚼哪些樹木之前，先窩了進去。馴鹿則是聞來嗅去玩著這些針葉樹。
