There's three basic species of zebra, mountain zebras, Grevy's zebras, and plains zebras.

斑马有三个基本品种，山地斑马、细纹斑马和平原斑马。

The Grevy's zebra is larger than a standard plains zebra and has narrower stripes and wider ears.

细纹斑马比标准的平原斑马大，条纹更窄，耳朵更宽。

" It's a serious threat to us, " said Andrew Letura, an animal observation officer at Grevy's Zebra Trust (GZT).

细纹斑马信托组织（简称GZT）的动物观察官员安德鲁·勒图拉说：“这对我们来说是一个严重威胁。”

Drought has killed about 40 Grevy's since June - which is how many would be expected to die over a whole year, said Letura.

勒图拉称，自6月以来，干旱已经造成约40匹细纹斑马死亡，这一数字是往年预计一整年内细纹斑马的死亡数量。

French Skiing Federation President Anne-Chantal Pigelet-Grevy also says French athletes will strive for the highest places on the podium at the Beijing Winter Olympic Games.

法国滑雪联合会主席安妮·尚塔尔·皮杰莱·格雷维也表示，法国运动员将努力冲击北京冬奥会的最高领奖台。

GZT has begun to feed Grevy's zebras hay poured over a mix of molasses, salt and calcium, helping to reduce the number of deaths, the trust says.

该信托组织称其已经开始用浇上糖蜜、盐和钙的干草喂食细纹斑马，这有助于减少细纹斑马的死亡数量。
