[00:04.41]Sacrificed to Science?
[00:06.30]為科學(xué)犧牲?
[00:08.18]Professor Colin Blakmore works at Oxford University Medical School
[00:11.45] 科林.布萊克默教授在牛津大學(xué)醫(yī)學(xué)院工作,
[00:14.73]doing research into eye problems
[00:17.25]從事眼睛疾病的研究.
[00:19.77]and believes that animal research has given humans many benefits.
[00:23.01]他相信動(dòng)物研究已使人類獲益非淺:
[00:26.25]The use of animals has been central to the development of anaesthetics
[00:32.91]vaccines and treatments for diabetes,cancer,developmental disorders...
[00:36.74] 動(dòng)物利用對(duì)于麻醉學(xué),疫苗的發(fā)展,糖尿病.癌癥,發(fā)育紊亂的治療等極其重要.
[00:40.57]most of the major medical advances
[00:45.43]have been based on a back ground of animal research and development.
[00:48.76]多數(shù)重要的醫(yī)學(xué)發(fā)展者是以對(duì)動(dòng)物研究和開發(fā)的背景為基礎(chǔ)的.
[00:52.09]There are those who think the tests are simply unnecessary.
[00:54.87] 有些人認(rèn)為這些實(shí)驗(yàn)毫無(wú)必要.
[00:57.65]The International Association Against Painful Experiments on Animals
[01:04.42]is an organiza0tion that promotes the use of alternative methods of research
[01:11.68]which do not make animals suffer.
[01:14.06]因反對(duì)動(dòng)物痛苦實(shí)驗(yàn)協(xié)會(huì)是一個(gè)提倡使用不使動(dòng)物痛苦的研究方法的組織.
[01:16.43]Their spokesman Colin Smith says:
[01:18.86]他們的發(fā)言人科林.史密斯說:
[01:21.29]Animal research is irrelevant to our health
[01:23.87] 動(dòng)物的研究與我們的健康無(wú)關(guān),
[01:26.44]and it can often produce misleading results.
[01:29.08]它常常產(chǎn)生令人誤入歧途的結(jié)果.
[01:31.72]People and animals are different in their reactions to drugs
[01:38.27]and in the way their bodies work.
[01:40.30]人和動(dòng)物對(duì)藥物的反應(yīng),以及身體運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)的方式不同.
[01:42.32]We only have to look at some of the medical mistakes to see this is so.
[01:45.76]我們只要看一看一些醫(yī)學(xué)失誤就會(huì)明白這一點(diǎn).
[01:49.19]But Professor Blackmore stresses:
[01:51.37] 但布萊克默教授強(qiáng)調(diào):
[01:53.55]It would be completely irresponsible and unethical to use drugs on people
[01:57.28] 在人身上使用沒有認(rèn)真在動(dòng)物向上實(shí)驗(yàn)的藥物,
[02:01.00]that had not been thoroughly tested on animals.
[02:03.64]是完全不負(fù)責(zé)任和不合道德的.
[02:06.28]The famous example of Ihalidomide is a case for more animal testing not less.
[02:10.90]薩立多胺就是一個(gè)著名的事例,它證明需要更多的動(dòng)物實(shí)驗(yàn)和不是更少的動(dòng)物實(shí)驗(yàn).
[02:15.52]The birth defects that the drug produced were a result of inadequate testing,
[02:19.61]這種藥物引起的先天性畸形是缺乏實(shí)驗(yàn)的結(jié)果.
[02:23.70]if thalidomide were invented today,
[02:26.02]如果薩立我胺是現(xiàn)在發(fā)明的,
[02:28.35]it would never be released for human use
[02:31.01]它就不會(huì)被批準(zhǔn)為人類使用,
[02:33.68]because new tests on pregnant animals would reveal the dangers.
[02:36.96]因?yàn)樵谟性械膭?dòng)物身上的實(shí)驗(yàn)會(huì)提示其危險(xiǎn).
[02:40.24]Another organization that is developing other methods of research is FRAME.
[02:44.21] 另一個(gè)開發(fā)其他研究辦法的組織是FRAME,
[02:48.18]This is the Fund for the Replacement of Animals in Medical Experiments.
[02:52.30]即替代動(dòng)物醫(yī)學(xué)實(shí)驗(yàn)基金會(huì).
[02:56.43]It recognises that many experiments still have to be done on animals
[03:00.15]他們認(rèn)識(shí)到依然有許多實(shí)驗(yàn)不得不在動(dòng)物身上進(jìn)行,
[03:03.88]and is aiming for Reduction,Refinement and Replacement of animals in experiments.
[03:08.41]其目標(biāo)是在實(shí)驗(yàn)中減少使用動(dòng)物,改良使用動(dòng)物,甚至代替使用動(dòng)物.
[03:12.94]In 1981, it established a research programme to improve
[03:20.31]and expand non-animal testing.
[03:22.63]1981年,該基金會(huì)設(shè)立了一個(gè)改進(jìn)和擴(kuò)大無(wú)動(dòng)物實(shí)驗(yàn)的研究項(xiàng)目.
[03:24.96]Increasingly,new technology is making it easier
[03:31.02]for us to find alternative methods of testing.
[03:35.98]Computer models can be used to simulate the way that cells work
[03:42.62]and to try to predict the toxicity of chemicals.
[03:45.74]以前的動(dòng)物實(shí)驗(yàn)數(shù)據(jù)用來(lái)開發(fā)一個(gè)計(jì)算機(jī)模型,
[03:48.86]Data from previous animal experiments is used to develop a computer model
[03:56.41]which will predict what will happen if you and a chemical
[04:01.97]with an unknown biological effect to a substance.
[04:04.85]它能預(yù)測(cè)如果一種物質(zhì)中加入具有未知生物作用的化學(xué)藥品會(huì)發(fā)生什么.
[04:07.72]The eventual aim of computer modeling
[04:12.68]is to reduce the number of animals used in experiments.
[04:15.62]計(jì)算機(jī)模型的最終目標(biāo)是減少用于實(shí)驗(yàn)的動(dòng)物數(shù)量.
[04:18.56]The Lethal Dose 50 test (LD50) may also be replaced
[04:22.79]藥劑致死劑量50試驗(yàn)(LD50)也可以被代替.
[04:27.02]In the original test,all the animals in a test group are given a substance
[04:33.58]until half of them die.
[04:35.60]在過去的實(shí)驗(yàn)中,實(shí)驗(yàn)群中所有的動(dòng)物被喂給一種物質(zhì),直到其中一半死亡.
[04:37.63]The test indicates toxicity.
[04:39.75]這個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)表明其毒性.
[04:41.86]A method using a fixed amount,
[04:46.22]which gives the same eventual information
[04:48.80]一種用固定的數(shù)量,可以得出同樣結(jié)論,卻用較少動(dòng)物,
[04:51.37]but uses fewer animalsand does not require that they die,
[04:57.74]may replace the LD50.
[04:59.92]而不使他們死亡的方法可能代替藥劑致死劑量50實(shí)驗(yàn).
[05:02.11]Many other new techniques are now available that enable more research
[05:05.23]現(xiàn)在已有許多其他的技術(shù),可使更多的研究工作在試管中進(jìn)行,
[05:08.35]to be done in the test tube
[05:12.11]to see if chemicals produce harmfulbiological effects.
[05:15.19]去發(fā)現(xiàn)化學(xué)藥品是否產(chǎn)生有害的生物作用.
[05:18.28]The number of animals used in laboratory testsh
[05:23.92]as declined over the last 20 years.
[05:26.56] 過去的20多年里,實(shí)驗(yàn)室內(nèi)里實(shí)驗(yàn)中使用的動(dòng)物數(shù)量已減少了.
[05:29.20]This is partly due to alternatives
[05:31.38]這部分是由于何供選擇的辦法多了,
[05:33.56]and partly to the fact that experiments are better designed
[05:36.48]部分是由于實(shí)驗(yàn)設(shè)計(jì)得更好,因?yàn)槭褂酶】档膭?dòng)物能產(chǎn)生更好的實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果,
[05:39.41]so fewer need to be used
[05:41.47]所以用的動(dòng)物更少了.
[05:43.54]healthier animals provide better experimental results.
[05:46.21]因?yàn)槭褂酶】档膭?dòng)物能產(chǎn)生更好的實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果,
[05:48.89]For example,it used to take 36 monkeys to test a sample of polio vaccine
[05:53.07]例如,過去常用36只獅子來(lái)實(shí)驗(yàn)脊髓類質(zhì)炎疫苗樣品,
[05:57.25]now it takes only 22.
[05:59.59]現(xiàn)在只用22只.
[06:01.93]Also,lack of money has reduced the number of animals used
[06:05.15]缺少資金已使所使用的動(dòng)物數(shù)量減少了
[06:08.38]they are expensive to buy and expensive to keep.
[06:11.06]---購(gòu)買和飼養(yǎng)動(dòng)物都很昂貴.
[06:13.73]Birmingham University now has Britain's first department of Biomedical Ethics.
[06:17.36] 伯明翰大學(xué)現(xiàn)在設(shè)有英國(guó)首家生物醫(yī)學(xué)倫理學(xué)系.
[06:21.00]Professor David Morton of the department is involved in animal research
[06:24.43]系里的大衛(wèi).莫頓教授從事動(dòng)物研究,
[06:27.87]and is concerned with reducing animal suffering as much as possible.
[06:31.34]對(duì)盡可能地減少動(dòng)物的痛苦很關(guān)心.
[06:34.81]Animals spend 95% of their time in their cages
[06:37.90]動(dòng)物們?cè)诎永锒冗^了它們95%的時(shí)間,
[06:40.98]and refinement also means making their lives better when not undergoing tests.
[06:45.02]改良也意味著不進(jìn)行實(shí)驗(yàn)時(shí)使它們活地更好些.
[06:49.05]This includes keeping them in more suitable cages,
[06:51.62]這包括在更舒適的矮子時(shí)喂養(yǎng)他們,
[06:54.20]allowing social animals like dogs to live together
[06:57.08]允許像狗一們的友善的動(dòng)物和他們生活在一起,
[06:59.97]and trying to reduce the boredom that these animals can experience.
[07:03.20]盡量減少這些動(dòng)物可能經(jīng)歷的煩惱.
[07:06.42]In Professor Morton's laboratory,rabbits live together in large runs
[07:09.91] 在莫頓教授的實(shí)驗(yàn)里,大批兔子一起生活,
[07:13.40]filled with deep litter and boxes that they can hide in.
[07:16.43]到處是厚厚的干草和它們可以藏進(jìn)去的箱子.
[07:19.46]The researchers have also refined some experiments.
[07:22.24]研究者們還改進(jìn)了一些實(shí)驗(yàn).
[07:25.02]In the US,one experiment in nerve regeneration
[07:30.80]involves cutting a big nerve in a rat's leg,leaving its leg paralyscd.
[07:34.57]在美國(guó)神經(jīng)再生方面的實(shí)驗(yàn)要切斷一條老鼠腿里的大神經(jīng),讓它的腿癱瘓.
[07:38.34]In Morton's lab,the researcher cuts a small nerve in the foot
[07:41.53]在莫頓的實(shí)驗(yàn)室時(shí)里,研究者們只切斷鼠腳里的一條小神經(jīng).
[07:44.72]He can see if it can regrow and the rat can still run around its cage
[07:48.40]他可以看到神經(jīng)是否可以再生,而老鼠仍在籠子里四處跑.
[07:52.08]Even with these new developments in research,
[07:54.46]盡管使用了這些研究開發(fā)的新成果,
[07:56.84]only a tiny proportion of all tests are donewithout using animals at some stage.
[08:00.81]所有的實(shí)驗(yàn)中只有極少部分在某一階段不使用動(dòng)物.
[08:04.78]The use of animals in experiments cannot stop immediately
[08:07.86]在實(shí)驗(yàn)中使用的動(dòng)物就不會(huì)立即停止.
[08:10.95]if medical research is to continue
[08:13.43]如果醫(yī)學(xué)研究還要繼續(xù),
[08:15.91]and consumer products are to be properly tested,
[08:18.64]消費(fèi)性產(chǎn)品還要嚴(yán)格地進(jìn)行檢驗(yàn),
[08:21.37]and Professor Blakemore believes that sometimes there are no alternatives.
[08:25.16]布萊克默教授相信有時(shí)那時(shí)無(wú)可選擇的.
[08:28.94]Wherever possible,for both ethical and scientific reasonswe do not use animals.
[08:33.18] 無(wú)論在何處,有可能的話,基于偷和科學(xué)的原因,我們不應(yīng)使用動(dòng)物做實(shí)驗(yàn).
[08:37.41]But ceils live in animals and we can only really see how they behave
[08:41.53]但細(xì)胞生活在動(dòng)物體內(nèi),當(dāng)它們?cè)趧?dòng)物體內(nèi)時(shí),我們才能真正看到它們的行為.
[08:45.66]when they are inside animals.
[08:50.10]We cannot possibly reproduce in a test tube or a computer model
[08:56.35]all the complex reactions of the body to a drug or a disease.
[08:59.98]我們不可能在試管里或計(jì)算機(jī)模型中復(fù)制出身體對(duì)藥物或疾病的所有復(fù)雜反應(yīng).
[09:03.61]When it comes to research into heart disease and its effects on the body
[09:06.99]當(dāng)談到研究心臟病和它對(duì)身體的影響,
[09:10.37]or diseases of the brain for example,
[09:12.71]或例如腦類疾病,
[09:15.05]we do not have adequate substitutes for the use of animals.
[09:18.29]我們沒有代替使用動(dòng)物的合適的替代物.
[09:21.53]As research techniques become more advanced,
[09:24.19]隨著研究技術(shù)變得更先進(jìn),
[09:26.86]the number of animals used in experiments may decrease,
[09:29.78]驗(yàn)中使用的動(dòng)物數(shù)目可能會(huì)減少,
[09:32.71]but stopping testing on animals altogether is a long way away.
[09:36.80]但完全停止在動(dòng)物身上實(shí)驗(yàn)還有很長(zhǎng)的路要走.
[09:40.88]Text B
[09:43.73]Let's Slop Keeping Pets
[09:45.47]讓我們停止養(yǎng)寵物
[09:47.21]Pets are lovable,frequently delightful.
[09:49.49] 寵物是可愛的,常常又很討人喜歡.
[09:51.78]The dog and the cat,the most favored of pets are beautiful,intelligent animals.
[09:55.00]狗和貓---人們最為喜愛的寵物,是漂亮,聰明的動(dòng)物.
[09:58.23]To assume the care for them
[10:01.60]can help bring out the humanity in our children and even in us.
[10:04.12]承擔(dān)起照料它們的責(zé)任有助于我們的孩子身上甚至在我們自己身上培養(yǎng)人情味.
[10:06.64]A dog or a cat can teach us a lot about human nature;
[10:08.98]一只狗或一只貓能教給我們?cè)S多關(guān)于人類的本性的東西,
[10:11.32]they are a lot more like us than some might think.
[10:13.34]它們比某些人想象的更像我們?nèi)祟?
[10:15.37]More than one owner of a dog
[10:19.00]has said that the animal understand severything he says to it.
[10:21.41]不只一個(gè)養(yǎng)狗的曾經(jīng)說過狗理解他對(duì)它說的一切話.
[10:23.83]So a mother and father who have ever cared for pets
[10:28.27]are likely to be more patient and understanding with their children as well,
[10:31.00]所以曾經(jīng)照顧過寵物的父母很可能也會(huì)對(duì)他們的孩子更有耐心和理解,
[10:33.73]and especially to avoid making negative
[10:37.88]or rude remarks in the presence of a child;no matter how young.
[10:40.61]特別是能避免在孩子面前做否定的和不禮貌的評(píng)論,不管他年齡多小.
[10:43.34]It is touching to see how a cat or doge specially a dog
[10:45.72]看到貓或狗---特別是狗---
[10:48.10]attaches itself to a family and wants to share in all its goings and comings.
[10:51.27]對(duì)一個(gè)家庭是如何地依戀,如何地想要分享家里發(fā)生的一切事情,是十分感人的.
[10:54.45]If certain animal psychologists are right
[10:56.48]如果某些動(dòng)物心理學(xué)家是對(duì)的,
[10:58.52]a dog adopts his family in a most literal way
[11:03.07]taking it fur granted that the family is the band of dogs he belongs to.n
[11:06.10]狗以最踏實(shí)的方式接受它的家庭---理所當(dāng)然地認(rèn)為家即是它所屬的那一群狗.
[11:09.13]It is sometimes said that the cat "takes all and gives nothing."
[11:11.86] 有時(shí)人們說貓"索取一切,什么都不給予".
[11:14.59]But is that really true?
[11:16.17]但那是真的嗎?
[11:17.75]A cat can teach us a valuable lesson about how to be contented,
[11:20.32]貓可以給我們上有價(jià)值的一課.
[11:22.89]how to be serene and at ease,how to sit and contemplate.
[11:25.87]關(guān)于如何滿足,如何安詳自在,如何靜坐沉思,
[11:28.85]Whereas a dog's constant pleas for attention become sometimes,a bit too much.
[11:32.18]而狗不斷地尋求人們的注意,有時(shí)太過分了.
[11:35.51]Nevertheless it is the dog who can teach us lessons of loyalty and devotion
[11:41.96]that no cat ever knew.
[11:43.58]盡管如此,狗能教給我們忠誠(chéng)和獻(xiàn)身,這是貓從不知道的.
[11:45.20]So there's plenty to be said in favor of keeping pets.
[11:47.42] 于是有許多說法贊成養(yǎng)寵物.
[11:49.64]But with all that in mind,I still say let's stop keeping pets.
[11:52.72]但盡管心里明白所有這些說法,我依然要說讓我們停止養(yǎng)雞寵物吧.
[11:55.81]Not that a family should kill its pets.
[11:57.74]并不是說一個(gè)家庭應(yīng)該殺死他們的寵物,
[11:59.67]Very few could bring themselves to do that.
[12:01.65]很少有人能使自己做這樣的事.
[12:03.62]To be practical,I am suggesting that if we do not no whave a pet
[12:09.39]we should not a quire one;
[12:11.01]實(shí)際上,我是在建議如果我們現(xiàn)在沒有養(yǎng)寵物,我們就不要弄一個(gè);
[12:12.63]second,that if we now have a pet,we let it be our last one.
[12:15.61]第二,如果我們現(xiàn)在有一只寵物,就讓它成為我們的最后一只吧.
[12:18.59]I could never say that pets are bad.
[12:20.47]我永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)說寵物是有害的.
[12:22.35]I am saying,let's give up this good thing--the ownership of a pet
[12:25.47]我是在說,讓我們放棄這個(gè)好東西吧---對(duì)寵物的擁有權(quán)---
[12:28.59]in favor of a more imperative good.
[12:30.51]去支持一個(gè)更緊迫的有益的事業(yè)吧.
[12:32.43]The purchase,the health care,the feeding and housing and training of a pet
[12:35.51] 購(gòu)買一只寵物,照顧它的健康,喂養(yǎng)它,給它提供住處,訓(xùn)練它
[12:38.60]and I chiefly mean the larger,longer-lived pets cost time and money.
[12:41.38]---我主要指的是較大的,較長(zhǎng)壽命的寵物--花費(fèi)時(shí)間和錢財(cái).
[12:44.16]Depending on the animal's size and activity,it's special tastes and needs,
[12:47.35]根據(jù)動(dòng)物的體型大小,活動(dòng),其特殊品和需要,
[12:50.53]and the standard of living we establish for it,
[12:52.66]我們?yōu)橹⑵鹕顦?biāo)準(zhǔn)照顧一只寵物的花費(fèi)
[12:54.79]the care of a pet can cost from a dollar a week to a dollar or more a day
[12:57.87]可能從一周一美元到一天一美元或更多.
[13:00.96]I would not for a moment deny it is worth that.
[13:03.03]我從不會(huì)否認(rèn)它的價(jià)值.
[13:05.11]But facts outside the walls of our home keep breaking in on our awareness.
[13:07.93] 但是我們房子外面的事實(shí)卻不斷地闖入我們的意識(shí).
[13:10.75]Though we do not see the poverty-suicken people of India
[13:15.61]and Africa and South America,
[13:17.60]雖然我們沒看到印度,非洲和南美洲窮困潦倒的人們,
[13:19.58]we can never quite forget that they are there.
[13:21.65]我們決不能完全忘記他們的存在.
[13:23.71]Now and then their faces are shown in the news,
[13:27.94]or in the begging ads of relief organizations.
[13:30.12]他們的面容不時(shí)出現(xiàn)在新聞里或救濟(jì)組織的求援廣告里.
[13:32.30]Probably we send a donation whenever we can.
[13:34.52]每次在我們有能力里也送去一份捐助.
[13:36.74]we do not,as a rule,feel a heavy personal responsibility
[13:42.80]for the afflicted and deprivedfor we are pretty thoroughly formed
[13:45.63] 我們通常并不感到對(duì)貧窮困苦的人們負(fù)有重大的個(gè)人責(zé)任,
[13:48.45]by the individualistic competitive society we live in.
[13:51.18]因?yàn)槲覀儙缀跬耆怯晌覀兩钣谄渲械倪@個(gè)個(gè)人主義的,競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的社會(huì)所塑造成形的.
[13:53.91]he first dime we ever made was ours to spend in any way we chose.
[13:56.94]我們?cè)?jīng)掙得的第一個(gè)10分硬幣是自己的,我們可以選擇花掉它的任何一種方式.
[13:59.97]No one thought of questioning that.
[14:01.70]沒人想到對(duì)些提出質(zhì)疑,
[14:03.44]That attitude,formed before we had learned to think,
[14:05.87]那種態(tài)度形成于我們學(xué)會(huì)思考之前,
[14:08.30]usually prevails through our life: "I made my money.
[14:10.94]通常會(huì)貫穿我們的一生:"我掙自己的錢,
[14:13.58]I can spend it any way I like."
[14:15.46]我可以以我喜歡的任何方式花掉它."
[14:17.34]But more and more we are reading that the people of the "Fhird World"
[14:20.07] 但我們?cè)絹?lái)越多地在閱讀中了解到"第三世界"的人們
[14:22.80]feel bitter at us in the developed countries
[14:25.14]懷恨發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家里的我們
[14:27.47](with the United States far more developed than any of the others)
[14:29.96](美國(guó)比其他任何國(guó)家發(fā)達(dá)得多),
[14:32.44]for our seizing hold of two-thirds of the world's wealth and living like kings
[14:35.52]因?yàn)槲覀冋加辛耸澜?/3的財(cái)富,
[14:38.60]while they work away all day to earn a bare living.
[14:40.94]生活得像國(guó)王一們,而他們整天工作以求糊口.
[14:43.28]The money and the time we spend on pets
[14:45.20]我們花在寵物身上的金錢和時(shí)間
[14:47.12]is simply not our own to spend as we like
[14:51.27]in a time of widespread want and starvation.
[14:53.45]在廣泛渴望幫助和饑餓遍布的時(shí)代絕對(duì)不是我們可以隨心所欲花費(fèi)的私有物.
[14:55.63]A relief organization advertises that for $33 a month
[15:01.51]they can give hospital care to a child suffering from kwashiorkor
[15:04.29]一個(gè)救援組織做廣告說,每個(gè)月捐33美元就可使一個(gè)患惡性營(yíng)養(yǎng)不良癥孩子住院治療
[15:07.08]the severe deficiency disease which is simply a starving for protein.
[15:10.01]--這是一種僅僅由于缺乏蛋白質(zhì)而產(chǎn)生的嚴(yán)重營(yíng)養(yǎng)不良疾病.
[15:12.95]Doing without such a pet,
[15:14.68]不養(yǎng)寵物,
[15:16.40]and then sending the money saved to a relief organization
[15:18.74]然后把節(jié)省下來(lái)的錢捐給救援組織將意味著挽救一條生命
[15:21.08]would mean saving a life over the years several human lives.
[15:24.20]--幾年以后,就能挽救幾條生命.
[15:27.32]Children not suffering from such a grave disease
[15:31.58]could be fed with half that amount--
[15:33.32]沒有遭受到那種疾病的孩子可以用那個(gè)數(shù)目(每月33美元)的半數(shù)來(lái)糊口
[15:35.05]not on a diet like ours,but on plain,basic,life-sustaining food.
[15:38.53]--不是吃我們那們的食物,只是一般的,基本的,維持生命的食物.
[15:42.00]It is not unreasonable
[15:45.16]to believe that the amount of money we spend on the average Pet dog
[15:50.49]could keep a child alivein a region of great poverty.
[15:52.86]相信我們平均花在寵物狗上的錢能夠養(yǎng)活一個(gè)特別貧窮地區(qū)的孩子是不過分的.
[15:55.22]To give what we would spend on a cat might not feed a child,
[15:57.60]拿出我們花在貓身上的錢可能養(yǎng)活不了一個(gè)孩子,
[15:59.97]but it would probably pay for his medical care or basic education.
[16:02.70]但可能付清他的醫(yī)療費(fèi)用或基本教育費(fèi)用.
[16:05.43]The point needs no laboring.
[16:08.80]That is all that need be said.
[16:10.53]這一點(diǎn)無(wú)須詳述:這就是所有要說的話.
