Psychedelic seal 的妈妈试图保护他免受外面恶劣世界的伤害 - 她担心两个问题，不仅其他海豹幼崽取笑可怜的 Psychedelic seal，而且她担心他成为捕食者的大目标。 But Psychedelic's father was more practical and told Mama seal - we have to make Psychedelic strong: Physically - so he can fght off predators, and emotionally so he can brush off the cruel taunts he might get from being different. bʌt psychedelic's* ˈfɑðər wɑz mɔr ˈpræktɪkəl ənd toʊld ˈmɑmə sil wi hæv tu meɪk ˌsaɪkəˈdɛlɪk strɔŋ: ˈfɪzɪkəli soʊ hi kæn fght* ɔf ˈprɛdətərz, ənd ɪˈmoʊʃnəli soʊ hi kæn brʌʃ ɔf ðə kruəl tɔnts hi maɪt gɛt frʌm biɪŋ ˈdɪfərənt. 但 Psychedelic 的父亲更实际，他告诉海豹妈妈——我们必须让 Psychedelic 变得强大：在身体上——这样他就可以击退掠食者，在情感上，这样他就可以摆脱因与众不同而可能受到的残酷嘲讽。 While kids can be cruel and Mama seal considered keeping Psychedelic in home school to protect him, Papa seal said - no. waɪl kɪdz kæn bi kruəl ənd ˈmɑmə sil kənˈsɪdərd ˈkipɪŋ ˌsaɪkəˈdɛlɪk ɪn hoʊm skul tu prəˈtɛkt hɪm, ˈpɑˌpə sil sɛd noʊ. 虽然孩子们可能很残忍，海豹妈妈考虑让 Psychedelic 在家上学以保护他，但海豹爸爸说——不。 If we bring him up to be proud of his differences, and teach him to be physically and ɪf wi brɪŋ hɪm ʌp tu bi praʊd ʌv hɪz ˈdɪfərənsɪz, ənd tiʧ hɪm tu bi ˈfɪzɪkəli ənd 如果我们培养他为他的不同而自豪，并教他在身体上和 emotionally strong -
