離婚理由：鸚鵡開始重復說出“離婚”和“耐心”

　　3. The Woman who got divorced after her parrot started repeating "Divorce" and "Be Patient"

　　In 2001, a Chinese woman launched divorce proceedings against her husband after the family's pet mynah bird reportedly spilled the beans on his marital indiscretions. According to the Xinmin Evening News, the woman first suspected something was amiss when the bird began repeating words apparently picked up from her husband's secret telephone calls to his lover after she returned from a month-long visit to her parents. She said words such as "divorce", "I love you", and "be patient" had become an increasingly frequent feature of the feathered telltale's idle twitterings。

　　She took her case -- along with the bird -- to a local law office for consultation, hoping it would testify in court against her husband; lawyers however told her they were not optimistic that the bird's testimony would sway the court. The wife filed for divorce but, for some bizarre reason, evidence from a bird was apparently not admissible in Chinese courts。
　　3. 一個女人在她的鸚鵡開始重復說出“離婚”和“耐心”時要求離婚。

　　2001年，一名中國婦女向丈夫提出離婚訴訟，理由是她的丈夫在一次不慎失言后，家里的寵物八哥開始不斷重復他的話。據《新民晚報》報道，這名婦女最先開始懷疑是在她探親一個月后，回到家中，鳥兒開始重復這兩個詞，而她認為這是鳥兒在丈夫同秘密情人的電話中學到的。她說，像是“離婚”、“我愛你”和 “忍耐”這幾個詞已經越來越頻繁，而且還摻雜著懶散的呢喃。她帶著她的案件和她的鳥到當地的律師事務所咨詢，希望它可以出庭作證指認丈夫。但是律師對鳥類的證詞可以影響法院判決一事并不樂觀。這位妻子提出離婚，但是理由很奇怪，很顯然，證鳥在中國的法庭中很難被接受。
