實(shí)戰(zhàn)口語(yǔ)情景對(duì)話：Lulu 露露

My first pet was bought for me when I was still a baby, so I think, I think I was, I think I was less than six weeks old when my granddad bought me a little terrier pup. So as far, as long as I can remember from being very very young, I could always remember this little dog who grew up with me really. Her name was Lulu. I think my granddad named her. I don't really know why he called her Lulu but maybe after an English pop star, or maybe he liked the name, I'm not really sure, but he used to always call her "Lula" rather than Lulu, so I'm not too sure how the name came about, but anyway Lulu and I were about the same age really, so there wouldn't have been more than six weeks between us, and she was really cute, a very small dog, as most terriers are, I suppose, so yeah, quite small, and very small face, so she had really cute features and big brown eyes, from what I remember, so she was really sweet looking, and she was very friendly as well, and would be very happy and we would come and take her for walks or just play with her, and so yeah, we grew up together for the most part. I tried to spend as much time with her as I could cause she didn't actually live with me. She lived with her granddad still. He looked after her for me.

我的第一只寵物是我還是個(gè)嬰兒時(shí)家人買給我的，我想在我還不到六周的時(shí)候，我爺爺給我買了只小獵犬。我能記得的就是那時(shí)我非常非常小，我記得這只小狗和我一起成長(zhǎng)。她的名字是露露。我想是我爺爺給她起的名字。實(shí)際上我不知道爺爺為什么管她叫露露，也許是以一個(gè)英國(guó)流行歌星的名字命名的，或者是因?yàn)樗矚g那個(gè)名字，我不太確定原因，不過(guò)他經(jīng)常叫她“露拉”而不是露露，所以我不太確定那個(gè)名字的來(lái)源，不管怎么樣，露露和我年紀(jì)一樣，我們之間相差不到六個(gè)星期，她是一只非?？蓯?ài)的小狗，我想就像所有小獵犬一樣，非常小，臉?lè)浅Ｐ?，她的臉部非常小，卻有大大的棕色眼睛，這是我所記得的，所以她看起來(lái)非常甜美，而且她也很友好，和她在一起非常開(kāi)心，我們會(huì)帶她去散步，或是和她一起玩耍，所以基本來(lái)說(shuō)我們是一起長(zhǎng)大的。我盡可能和她在一起的時(shí)間長(zhǎng)些，因?yàn)樗⒉缓臀疑钤谝黄?。她仍然住在我爺爺家。爺爺幫我照顧她?/p>

But yeah it was really sad. As she got older, obviously a dog doesn't live as long as we do, so about the time I was maybe, I don't know, twelve or thirteen I suppose, you could really see that poor Lulu was getting, getting much older and you know she had more difficulty in walking and she just looked like she had aged a lot really, so she finally passed away I think when I was about 16. So she lived to be quite old for a little dog like that, but it was really, really sad because we'd spent all that time together and the last few years, we'd been living in the same place and everything, yeah, so I was really, really sad when she passed away. Often times I think, with a pet, you know, when you've had a pet for so long, maybe you don't realize how really attached you are to that person, or to that pet, that animal, and so it really was a wrench when she died. It was very sad.

不過(guò)這很令人難過(guò)。她漸漸老去，顯然狗狗并不能像我們一樣活那么長(zhǎng)時(shí)間，所以當(dāng)我大概12歲或是13歲的時(shí)候，可憐的露露已經(jīng)漸漸老去，你知道，她走路越來(lái)越困難，看上去確實(shí)上了年紀(jì)，而在我16歲的時(shí)候，她去世了。對(duì)一只小狗來(lái)說(shuō)，她活得時(shí)間已經(jīng)相當(dāng)長(zhǎng)了，但是這仍然令人非常難過(guò)，因?yàn)槲覀円恢痹谝黄?，在她去世前那幾年，我們生活在一起，一起做所有的事情，所以她去世讓我非常非常難過(guò)。我經(jīng)常會(huì)想，你知道，一個(gè)寵物你養(yǎng)了很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間，也許你并有意識(shí)到實(shí)際上你有多愛(ài)那個(gè)人或是那只寵物，但是那只動(dòng)物去世后會(huì)令人感到非常痛苦。令人非常憂傷。
