有一次，我对蚂蚁吃的东西感兴趣，我想看看蚂蚁吃什么东西，于是我做了一个试验。
Once, I was interested in what ants eat and wanted to see what ants eat, so I conducted an experiment.
今天，我准备了盐、白糖、口香糖、玉米粒放在离蚂蚁洞很远的地方。我本来以为蚂蚁会成群带队的过来可是都过了几个小时了我准备的东西还纹丝不动的在那里。我到蚂蚁洞旁边捉了几只蚂蚁放到我准备的东西旁边，我刚把蚂蚁放到我准备的东西旁边，蚂蚁就跑走了。
Today, I prepared salt, sugar, chewing gum, and corn kernels and placed them far away from the ant hole. I thought ants would come in groups, but it's been a few hours and the things I prepared are still there. I caught a few ants next to the ant hole and placed them next to what I had prepared. As soon as I placed the ants next to what I had prepared, they ran away.来自作文吧 zUOwENbA.net
我想：可能是我放的太远了。于是我把我准备的这些东西放到蚂蚁洞旁边，蚂蚁成群带队的过来搬食物。勤劳的蚂蚁都过去搬食物，懒惰的蚂蚁不但不过去还狼吞虎咽的吃食物，最后懒惰的蚂蚁撑死了。
I think: maybe I put it too far away. So I put these things I prepared next to the ant hole, and the ants came in groups to carry food. The diligent ants all went over to move food, while the lazy ants not only refused but also wolfed down the food. In the end, the lazy ants managed to survive.
我发现我准备的东西里只有玉米粒全部拿走了，而其他的东西蚂蚁却没有拿走。最后我终于知道了蚂蚁吃什么东西。
I found that only the corn kernels were taken from the things I prepared, while the ants didn't take the rest. Finally, I learned what ants eat.
