Pets and animals（宠物和动物）

　　1 Did you have any pets when you were a child?

　　你小时候有没有养过宠物?

　　Yes, my family had a dog and a cat. These are fairly normal domestic animals to keep, really. I do remember once having a small snake in a plastic box that I bought at a street market, but it died within a few weeks.

　　是的，我家有一只狗和一只猫。实际上，这些都是很正常的家畜。我确实记得有一次，我在街市上买了一个塑料盒子，里面装着一条小蛇，但几周后它就死了。

　　2 What is the most popular animal in China?

　　在中国最受欢迎的动物是什么?

　　I'd say a cat or maybe a dog is the most common animal. Today, slightly more obscure animals are gaining in popularity though – for example, my friend has a chinchilla, a very cute animal!

　　我想说猫或者狗是最常见的动物。今天，虽然稍微有点晦涩难懂的动物越来越受欢迎--例如，我的朋友有一只毛丝鼠，这是一种非常可爱的动物

　　3 Do you like to see animals in the zoo?

　　你喜欢在动物园里看动物吗?

　　Yes, I've always liked it. When I was a little girl, this was my favourite family activity on the weekends, because you know it greatly satisfied my curiosity about wild animals, like peacocks, tigers, monkeys etc. but now, since I am pretty bogged down with studies and work I don't get much chance to go to the zoo.

　　是的，我一直很喜欢。当我还是个小女孩的时候，这是我周末最喜欢的家庭活动，因为你知道这极大地满足了我对野生动物的好奇心，比如孔雀、老虎、猴子等。但是现在，由于我学习和工作都陷入了困境，我没有多少机会去动物园。

　　4 What's your favorite animal?

　　你最喜欢的动物是什么?

　　I'd probably have to say dogs, it's hard to explain why though. I guess it's because they are really loyal and quite affectionate and playful, much more so than cats who I think tend to be a bit more indifferent and aloof. So yeah I'd say I'm much more of a dog person than a cat person.

　　我可能不得不说是狗，但很难解释为什么。我想这是因为它们真的很忠诚，很有感情，也很好玩，比我认为更冷漠的猫更可爱。所以是的，我想说我更喜欢狗而不是猫。
