猛禽一直在充分利用其南部逗留时间,在联合车站和国家邮政博物馆停留。它也在品尝当地美食,尤其是华盛顿特区的老鼠群。

STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Some Arctic wildlife swooped8 into Washington, D.C. A snowy owl flew through town with a snowstorm last week. The raptor has been seeing the sights, with stops at Union Station and the National Postal Museum. It's also been sampling the local cuisine, notably DC's rat population. We cannot confirm rumors9 that the rare bird in the Capitol was considering a run for office. When asked directly, the owl simply answered, who? It's MORNING EDITION.

STEVE Inskeet,主持人:

早上好我是Steve Inskeep。一些北极野生动物光临华盛顿特区。上周,一只雪鸮带着暴风雪飞过华盛顿。猛禽号一直在观光,中途在联合车站和国家邮政博物馆停留。它也在品尝当地美食,尤其是华盛顿的老鼠群。我们无法证实国会大厦的这只稀有鸟正在考虑竞选公职的传言。当被直接问到时,猫头鹰只回答:“谁?”?这是晨报。
