美語情景對話 第82期:養狗 Good Dog!

Todd: James, I saw on your desk you have a nice picture of a dog.

詹姆斯，你桌上的照片裏是一隻很棒的狗。

James: Yes.

是的。

Todd: OK. Tell us about your dog.

好的，跟我們說說你的狗。

James: My dog's name is Piper. He was a mutt, a homeless dog that we picked up off the street about four and a half years ago.

我的狗名叫Piper。它是一隻雜種的流浪狗，4年半前我們領養了它。

Todd: Oh, wow! So what kind of dog is he now?

哇！它現在是一隻什麼樣的狗？

James: He's a yellow lab, golden retriever mix. He's very very sweet, very very fun to play with, really really nice.

它是一隻拉布拉多犬和黃金獵犬的混合體。它很聰明，和它玩十分有趣，真的很棒。

Todd: Oh, that's great. Can he do any tricks?

太棒了。他會什麼特技嗎？

James: No.

不會。

Todd: No.

不會。

James: We can do one trick where we point our finger at him and go Bang Bang Bang Bang and he falls over dead, but that is the only trick he can do and he only does that maybe half the time.

它會的唯一特技就是，當我們用手指指着它，併發出嗙嗙嗙聲音時，它會倒下裝死。這是它會的唯一特技，而且這個特技只有50%的成功機率。

Todd: OK. Does he bark a lot?

你經常犬吠嗎？

James: Usually no. Usually he's pretty good.

通常不會。它是隻好狗。

Todd: Pretty quiet.

很安靜。

James: Mm,hm!

是的！

Todd: OK. Is it a male dog or a female dog?

它是公的還是母的？

James: Yeah. It's a male dog.

是公狗。

Todd: So, no puppies.

那麼，就不會有小狗了。

James: No, puppies.

不會帶來小狗的。

Todd: OK. Would you like to have another dog, another puppy?

好的，那麼你還想再養只狗嗎？

James: It would be fun in the future but not for awhile.

將來再養一隻會很有趣，但最近還不行。
