來(lái)見(jiàn)識(shí)這條綠色的小狗

A dog owner in Germany was surprised to see one of her Golden Retriever’s nine puppies wasn’t so golden. In fact, it was a strange shade of green.

德國(guó)一位狗主人驚訝地發(fā)現(xiàn)，她養(yǎng)的一只金毛獵犬的9只幼犬并沒(méi)有那么金黃。事實(shí)上，它是一種奇怪的綠色。

The mint green puppy was born last week – just in time for Halloween – in the north German town of Wermelskirchen at the home of dog owner Joanna Justice, German news agency Deutsche Presse-Agentur (DPA) reports.

據(jù)德國(guó)新聞社(DPA)報(bào)道，這只薄荷綠的小狗于上周在德國(guó)北部小鎮(zhèn)Wermelskirchen的主人喬安娜·賈斯特家中出生，當(dāng)時(shí)正是萬(wàn)圣節(jié)前夕。這只小狗的主人是喬安娜·賈斯蒂(joanna justice)。

Justice was concerned about the color at first, however, she quickly realized the puppy was otherwise healthy, as were the eight other siblings.

賈斯特一開(kāi)始很在意這只小狗的顏色，但是她很快意識(shí)到這只小狗和其他8個(gè)兄弟姐妹一樣都很健康。

She aptly named the puppy “Mojito,” inspired by the mint and lime-infused white rum cocktail.

她給這只小狗起了個(gè)貼切的名字:“莫吉托”，靈感來(lái)自于薄荷和檸檬混合的白朗姆酒雞尾酒。

Fear not though, young Mojito won’t stay this faint shade of green for too long. Christian Dimitriadis, a veterinarian in Düsseldorf, told DPA that the color will eventually fade and grow out of the pup’s hair. After a few days or weeks of licking from its mother, Mojito will be bright white, just like the rest of the litter.

不過(guò)別怕，年輕的莫吉托不會(huì)在這淡淡的綠色里待太久的。杜塞爾多夫的獸醫(yī)Christian Dimitriadis告訴DPA，狗毛的顏色最終會(huì)褪去，并從狗的毛發(fā)中生長(zhǎng)出來(lái)。經(jīng)過(guò)幾天或幾周的舔食，莫吉托就會(huì)變成白色，和其他幼崽一樣。

While extremely rare, green puppies are not as uncommon as you might think. In fact, over in the US this week, a green “shamrock-colored” Great Dane puppy was born too. She's been named "Verdant," and is healthy, her owners have confirmed.

雖然非常罕見(jiàn)，但綠色的小狗并不像你想的那么罕見(jiàn)。事實(shí)上，本周在美國(guó)，一只綠色的“三葉草色”大丹犬也出生了。它的主人證實(shí)，它被起名為“翠綠”，身體健康。
