今天的這段對話，在討論流浪貓，
 
你怎么看待流浪貓？應不應該有人去喂這些流浪貓
 
來聽今天的講解:
 
A: So, we're here... first of all, how about everybody introduce themselves.
托德：我們……每個人先做下自我介紹吧。
 
C: OK. I'm Fred from Canada and it's a pleasure to be here.
 
好。我是弗雷德，來自加拿大，我很高興來到這里。
 
B: Hello. I am Katerina. I'm from Mexico and I'm also very glad to be here.
 
大家好。我是卡特琳娜，來自墨西哥，來到這里我也很高興。
 
A: Thanks guys. And then, I'm Todd. I'm from the U.S. Now for the listeners, we all live really close to each other and we live in a neighborhood, where I guess, all of our houses are probably within two or three minutes of each other.
 
謝謝你們。我是托德，來自美國?，F(xiàn)在和聽眾朋友說明一下，我們幾個人住的很近，我們住在一個社區(qū)，我想我們幾個人的家也就相隔兩三分鐘的距離。
 
B: Very close.
 
非常近。
 
A: So, we thought we would talk about the neighborhood, and the first topic would be the stray cats.
 
我們來談談我們的社區(qū)吧，第一個話題是流浪貓。
 
B: Which are also are neighbors.
 
其實它們也算是我們的鄰居。
 
A: Right. First of all, how many stray cats do you think there are in the neighborhood?
 
對。第一個問題，你們認為我們的社區(qū)里有多少流浪貓？
 
B: At least at night, you see them all together, especially in one corner, and I see at least about six cats, at least, all together.
 
晚上的時候流浪貓會聚在一個小角落里，我至少看到過6只。
 
C: I would say much more than that.
 
我認為要比6只多的多。
 
A: Yeah, I would too actually. How many do you think?
 
好，我也覺得比6只多。你認為有多少只流浪貓？
 
C: I would go for maybe twenty of those around the neighborhood.
 
我想社區(qū)周圍大概有20只流浪貓。
 
B: But this is just one corner.
 
我說的只是社區(qū)的一個角落。
 
C: OK, just one corner, so multiplied by four or five corners, yeah, twenty, twenty-five cats.
 
好，只是一個角落，假設有四或五個角落，這樣一加倍的話，大概有20或25只流浪貓。
 
A: OK, so then, what do you guys think about the cats? Like should something be done about the cats? Should the people feed the cats?
 
好，你們怎么看流浪貓？我們是不是應該做些什么事？是不是應該有人去喂這些流浪貓？
 
B: I think especially for a lot of the elderly people that live here, I think for them it's very nice to have the cats around and they feed them and I think as long as they don't go into the trash, I think it's OK, but for me, I haven't seen any trash, and I don't think it would be a problem.
 
生活在這里的老人非常好，他們會經(jīng)常和流浪貓在一起，也會喂它們，我認為只要流浪貓不去翻垃圾，就沒什么問題，我并沒有看到有垃圾，所以我覺得這并不是問題。
 
A: Well, you know, they break into my house. I don't know if they break into yours, but they're amazing. If I don't lock the windows, the sliding glass doors they pull the door open with their paw and they come in and they look through my trash and then they leave.
 
流浪貓闖進了我的家。我不知道流浪貓是不是也闖入過你們的家，不過它們真是太令人不可思議了。如果我沒有鎖上窗戶，它們會用它們的爪子把滑動玻璃門打開，進到屋里去翻我家的垃圾，然后離開。
 
C: Those are very clever cats.
 
那些都是非常聰明的貓。
 
A: Yeah, I thought it was a raccoon. I thought I had a raccoon, and I went to talk to my landlady, and she's like, "No, that's just the cats."
 
對，我認為那是只浣熊。我認為有只浣熊進了我的家，我和房東太太說時，她說，“不是，那只是貓。”
 
B: I think you were just not feeding them.
 
我想是因為你沒有喂它們。
 
A: Well, yeah, I guess that's it. Like, they're so hungry that they break into people's houses for food.
 
嗯，我想也是。它們太餓了，所以它們闖進人們的家尋找食物。
 
B: OK, I don't have that problem. I live on the third floor.
 
我并沒有遇到這樣的問題。我住在三樓。
 
A: Oh, really.
 
哦，是嗎？
 
B: So, maybe that's why.
 
所以這就是原因。
 
A: Right.
 
好吧。
 
C: I don't have that problem either, although I do live in a house similar to yours, Todd, where we live on the first floor and there is a lot of stray cats around the neighborhood but I've never had any problems of them breaking into the house.
 
我也沒有遇到個這樣的問題，不過我和托德住的房子很像，我們都住在一樓，社區(qū)里有很多流浪貓，不過我并沒有遇到過流浪貓闖入家里的事情。
 
A: Yeah, I don't know. They're pretty amazing. Like, I did not even know that cat's could break into a house, but they can.
 
我也不知道為什么。這些貓真是太神奇了。我以前都不知道貓會闖入家里，不過它們確實可以做到。
 
B: Very smart cats.
 
非常聰明的貓。
 
A: Yeah. Or very hungry cats, as you said.
 
對，或者像你所說，是非常餓的貓。
 
B: Or friendly cats. They want to visit.
 
或者說是友好的貓。它們想去你家拜訪。
 
A: Yeah, right.
 
好。
