怎么训练导盲犬？养一只宠物所需的花费是多少

来听今天的讲解:

A: Hello, Matt!

你好，马特！

B: Hello, Todd!

你好，托德！

A: Matt, I'm going to ask you some questions about pet. (OK!) First question, do you have a pet?

马特，我将会问你几个关于宠物的问题。（好的！）第一个问题，你养宠物吗？

B: Yes, in fact, my mom's house we have three, three pets; two dogs and a cat. My family actually raises dogs for helping blind people.

是的，事实上，在我妈妈的房子里，我们养了三只宠物，两只狗和一直猫。我家培养的是能帮助盲人的导盲犬。

A: Oh, really!

哦，真的吗！

B: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

是的。

A: Wow, like how do they train the dogs?

哇，那么怎么训练导盲犬呢？

B: How do they train the dogs? Well, I mean, it's a long process, right...we get them when they're puppies.....and so we train them basic...you know, sit, come... really basic things...then, after they're about two year old, they go a different training school.

如何训练导盲犬？这其实是一个长期的过程。我们会带回来出生不久的幼犬。接着训练小狗基本功，比如坐下，过来这些很基本的东西。然后，等到它们两岁大，我们会送它去一家培训学校。

A: Oh, wow , that's great!

哇，太棒了！

B: Yeah, yeah!

是的。

A: Well, how many dogs do they train at a time?

一次训练几只导盲犬呢？

B: Oh, just one! We have our own dog, and then we have a dog that we have that we are training.

只有一只！我们自己养只狗，还有一只训练中的导盲犬。

A: Oh, OK.

好的。

B: Yeah, just one dog at a time.

一次只训练一只。

A: Do you ever see the dogs you trained, like out on the street, or anything?

你有没有偶遇自己训练过的导盲犬，例如在街上，有没有类似的重聚？

B: Sometimes we'll see them, they'll have like sort of conventions of reunions of the pets so, yeah, you get to see them once in awhile.

有时候我会看到它们，导盲犬和训练人相聚是约定俗成的的惯例，训练人偶尔可以看它们。

A: Oh, wow, that's cool. Um, why do people keep pets?

哇，太酷了。那么人们为什么要养宠物？

B: I guess the most important thing is companionship, right! So there is always somebody there for you that will like you no matter what.

我想最重要的一个原因就是宠物对主人的陪伴！无论如何，宠物总会围绕在主人身边，不问原因地喜爱自己的主人。

A: Yeah, that's true. OK, besides cats, dogs, and fish, what are some other pets people keep?

是的，确实如此。那么除了猫，狗和鱼，人们还养什么宠物？

B: Well, I guess if you are Sigfreid and Roy you can keep a tiger or lion. I guess all types of things don't they.

我想如果你是驯兽师Sigreid和Roy，也许你能养一只老虎或狮子。我想各种动物都能成为人类的宠物。

A: Yeah.

是的。

B: I mean, my friend has a snake....I don't know if you mention that: snake and ferrets and insects, spiders...

我的一位朋友就养了一条蛇。我忘了你是否提到过，蛇，雪貂，昆虫，蜘蛛都可以成为人类的宠物。

A: OK.

好的。

B: All kinds of things.

各种动物。

A: All right, yeah, like there is so many. What are some costs associated with keeping a pet?

好的，养一只宠物所需的花费是多少呢？

B: Food is probably the biggest cost, but also if you keep the dog, particularly a dog in your house, when they are puppies, and we have a lot of puppies they'll chew up everything they can so we're constantly replacing shoes and, you know, cleaning up pee from the carpet and things like that..so.. it can be a hassle.

食物也许是最大的开销，但如果你养的是狗，尤其是小狗，你把它放在屋里，我们曾经就把许多小狗放到屋里，它们会把屋里能咬的东西都咬了，因此我们老得换新鞋，而且还得清理地摊上的尿痕等，这些也很麻烦。

A: Yeah, OK. Thanks a lot, and by the way, where are you from?

好的。十分谢谢，顺便一提，你来自哪里？

B: I'm from the U.S.A., from Minnesota.

我来自美国，明尼苏达州。
