Senses

　　We usually say that people have five senses. Senses are the ways by which we learn what is happening around us. The five main senses are sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell.

　　Each sense depends on a specific organ of the body. This organ receives the information and then nerves send it to the brain. For example, eyes control sight, ears control hearing and skin controls touch. Taste depends on the taste buds on the tongue, and smell depends on the nose.

　　In addition, there are also other senses which are equally important. There is a sense of balance which keeps us from falling down. We also have senses of hunger, thirst and heat and cold.

感觉

　　我们通常说人有五种感觉。通过感觉我们可以获知发生在身边的事情。主要的五种感觉是视觉，听觉，触觉，味觉和嗅觉。

　　每一种感觉依赖于身体某一具体器官。这一器官收到信息并通过神经把它传输给大脑。例如，眼睛控制视觉，耳朵控制听觉，皮肤控制触觉。味觉则依赖舌头上的味蕾，嗅觉则依赖鼻子。

　　除此之外，还有一些其它的感觉同样重要。有一种平衡感使我们免于摔倒。同样我们还可以感到饥饿，口渴，热和冷。
