Voice 2: Do you own a pet? Maybe you have a dog. Maybe you have a cat. You probably know someone who owns an animal. Studies say that there are about six hundred million dogs and cats in the world. But eighty percent of those animals do not have homes. This is a serious problem.
聲音2：你有養(yǎng)寵物嗎？也許你養(yǎng)了只狗。或是貓。你可能認(rèn)識(shí)養(yǎng)動(dòng)物的人。研究表明世界上約有六億只狗和貓。但是80%的動(dòng)物沒(méi)有家。這是一個(gè)嚴(yán)重的問(wèn)題。
Voice 1: Some people argue that cats and dogs were wild in the past — they are simply returning to a natural state. But this is not true. These pets have lived with humans for many generations. They are not able to live successfully and healthily in the wild. Cats and dogs need homes. They need to be fed regularly. They need the care of a good owner. Without that care, they become problems in their communities.
聲音1：有些人認(rèn)為貓和狗過(guò)去是野生的——它們只是在回歸自然狀態(tài)。但事實(shí)并非如此。這些寵物已經(jīng)和人類共同生活了好幾代。它們無(wú)法在野外順利且健康地生活。貓和狗需要家。它們需要定期喂食。它們需要好主人的照顧。如果沒(méi)有這種照顧，它們就會(huì)成為社區(qū)的問(wèn)題。
Voice 2: People have owned animals since ancient times. Experts say people kept animals for three reasons. First, people kept animals as a job. They raised the animals to eat. Or people sold the animals to someone else for money. Second, people kept animals to help with work. Animals such as horses, cows, and camels helped people carry heavy loads. People used these animals for transportation. The animals also helped with farming tasks.
聲音2：自古以來(lái)，人們一直有養(yǎng)動(dòng)物。專家表示，人們飼養(yǎng)動(dòng)物有三個(gè)原因。首先，人們以飼養(yǎng)動(dòng)物為工作。他們養(yǎng)動(dòng)物是為了食用這些動(dòng)物。或者人們?yōu)榱速嶅X將動(dòng)物賣給別人。其二，人們飼養(yǎng)動(dòng)物來(lái)協(xié)助工作。馬、牛和駱駝等動(dòng)物可以幫助人們搬運(yùn)重物。人們用這些動(dòng)物來(lái)運(yùn)輸。這些動(dòng)物也可以幫助完成農(nóng)活。
Voice 1: Third, people owned animals as companions. People enjoyed spending time with these animals. Animals like dogs and cats are companion animals. They are like friends to humans. People still own animals for all these reasons today.
聲音1：其三，人們養(yǎng)動(dòng)物來(lái)陪伴自已。人們喜歡和這些動(dòng)物在一起。狗和貓這樣的動(dòng)物是動(dòng)物伴侶。它們就像人類的朋友。出于這些原因，如今人們?nèi)栽诶^續(xù)養(yǎng)動(dòng)物。
