萌犬秘闻视听原文 英汉(6)
我们利用巴吉度猎犬的鼻子来寻找猎物;利用罗威纳犬的力量来保卫家园;利用阿富汗猎犬的视力和速度来追捕;并利用哈士奇在恶劣环境中的忍耐力。
But from the very beginning, we've also chosen dogs that are cute and give us comfort.
但从一开始我们也选择了可爱,能给我们慰藉的狗。
And no matter what the size, dogs have worked their way into our hearts. It's a strong emotional bond.
不管它们体型如何,狗都在我们心中留有一席之地。这是一种强烈的情感纽带。
And one that our rapidly growing puppy is just beginning to discover.
我们成长迅速的小狗才刚刚接触这一情感。

Sometimes dogs look at us with such knowing eyes, but do they really know how we feel?

They're somebody who can understand how you're feeling in a day, whether you're feeling upset.

They know when I'm hurting, they know when I'm sad, and... Yeah, 100% I think they understand me.

Dogs definitely look at us like they know what's up. And tests have shown that there's truth in this.
狗狗看着我们,仿佛知道发生了什么。各种测试也表明确实如此。
Humans naturally look to the left hand side of someone's face to read their mood, as that's where we display our emotions. 人类往往通过关注他人的左脸来解读情绪,因为我们的情绪都表现在上面。

我不记得孩子们的第一次学步,他们上学的第一天,他们的出生。
And I was there for all those occasions, but sadly those are memories robbed of me.

And bless him. He saw something on the floor by my wheelchair, trotted across the training centre, picked it up and put it in my lap.
上帝保佑他,他看到我轮椅边的地上有东西,便一路小跑穿过训练中心,把它捡起来放在我膝盖间。
He didn't get a reaction; he didn't get a treat; he didn't acknowledged. And this really hacked him off.
它没能得到回应、奖励或者肯定。让他觉得十分沮丧。
This was the dog that didn't do anything for anyone and he'd done it for me and he wanted a treat, a reward, praise, anything, and he got the stone wall. 这只狗不会为任何人做任何事,却为我做了,还希望得到奖励、奖赏或者夸赞,什么都行,但却碰了一鼻子灰。
Then he trotted over to the mock-up supermarket, took a tin off the shelf, put it in my lap, didn't get a reaction.
