怎么訓(xùn)練導(dǎo)盲犬?養(yǎng)一只寵物所需的花費(fèi)是多少
來(lái)聽(tīng)今天的講解:
A: Hello, Matt!
你好,馬特!
B: Hello, Todd!
你好,托德!
A: Matt, I'm going to ask you some questions about pet. (OK!) First question, do you have a pet?
馬特,我將會(huì)問(wèn)你幾個(gè)關(guān)于寵物的問(wèn)題。(好的?。┑谝粋€(gè)問(wèn)題,你養(yǎng)寵物嗎?
B: Yes, in fact, my mom's house we have three, three pets; two dogs and a cat. My family actually raises dogs for helping blind people.
是的,事實(shí)上,在我媽媽的房子里,我們養(yǎng)了三只寵物,兩只狗和一直貓。我家培養(yǎng)的是能幫助盲人的導(dǎo)盲犬。
A: Oh, really!
哦,真的嗎!
B: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
是的。
A: Wow, like how do they train the dogs?
哇,那么怎么訓(xùn)練導(dǎo)盲犬呢?
B: How do they train the dogs? Well, I mean, it's a long process, right...we get them when they're puppies.....and so we train them basic...you know, sit, come... really basic things...then, after they're about two year old, they go a different training school.
如何訓(xùn)練導(dǎo)盲犬?這其實(shí)是一個(gè)長(zhǎng)期的過(guò)程。我們會(huì)帶回來(lái)出生不久的幼犬。接著訓(xùn)練小狗基本功,比如坐下,過(guò)來(lái)這些很基本的東西。然后,等到它們兩歲大,我們會(huì)送它去一家培訓(xùn)學(xué)校。
A: Oh, wow , that's great!
哇,太棒了!
B: Yeah, yeah!
是的。
A: Well, how many dogs do they train at a time?
一次訓(xùn)練幾只導(dǎo)盲犬呢?
B: Oh, just one! We have our own dog, and then we have a dog that we have that we are training.
只有一只!我們自己養(yǎng)只狗,還有一只訓(xùn)練中的導(dǎo)盲犬。
A: Oh, OK.
好的。
B: Yeah, just one dog at a time.
一次只訓(xùn)練一只。
A: Do you ever see the dogs you trained, like out on the street, or anything?
你有沒(méi)有偶遇自己訓(xùn)練過(guò)的導(dǎo)盲犬,例如在街上,有沒(méi)有類(lèi)似的重聚?
B: Sometimes we'll see them, they'll have like sort of conventions of reunions of the pets so, yeah, you get to see them once in awhile.
有時(shí)候我會(huì)看到它們,導(dǎo)盲犬和訓(xùn)練人相聚是約定俗成的的慣例,訓(xùn)練人偶爾可以看它們。
A: Oh, wow, that's cool. Um, why do people keep pets?
哇,太酷了。那么人們?yōu)槭裁匆B(yǎng)寵物?
B: I guess the most important thing is companionship, right! So there is always somebody there for you that will like you no matter what.
我想最重要的一個(gè)原因就是寵物對(duì)主人的陪伴!無(wú)論如何,寵物總會(huì)圍繞在主人身邊,不問(wèn)原因地喜愛(ài)自己的主人。
A: Yeah, that's true. OK, besides cats, dogs, and fish, what are some other pets people keep?
是的,確實(shí)如此。那么除了貓,狗和魚(yú),人們還養(yǎng)什么寵物?
B: Well, I guess if you are Sigfreid and Roy you can keep a tiger or lion. I guess all types of things don't they.
我想如果你是馴獸師Sigreid和Roy,也許你能養(yǎng)一只老虎或獅子。我想各種動(dòng)物都能成為人類(lèi)的寵物。
A: Yeah.
是的。
B: I mean, my friend has a snake....I don't know if you mention that: snake and ferrets and insects, spiders...
我的一位朋友就養(yǎng)了一條蛇。我忘了你是否提到過(guò),蛇,雪貂,昆蟲(chóng),蜘蛛都可以成為人類(lèi)的寵物。
A: OK.
好的。
B: All kinds of things.
各種動(dòng)物。
A: All right, yeah, like there is so many. What are some costs associated with keeping a pet?
好的,養(yǎng)一只寵物所需的花費(fèi)是多少呢?
B: Food is probably the biggest cost, but also if you keep the dog, particularly a dog in your house, when they are puppies, and we have a lot of puppies they'll chew up everything they can so we're constantly replacing shoes and, you know, cleaning up pee from the carpet and things like that..so.. it can be a hassle.
食物也許是最大的開(kāi)銷(xiāo),但如果你養(yǎng)的是狗,尤其是小狗,你把它放在屋里,我們?cè)?jīng)就把許多小狗放到屋里,它們會(huì)把屋里能咬的東西都咬了,因此我們老得換新鞋,而且還得清理地?cái)偵系哪蚝鄣?,這些也很麻煩。
A: Yeah, OK. Thanks a lot, and by the way, where are you from?
好的。十分謝謝,順便一提,你來(lái)自哪里?
B: I'm from the U.S.A., from Minnesota.
我來(lái)自美國(guó),明尼蘇達(dá)州。
