Welcome to our program, Dr Peterson. Let's see what questions we've got for you today. Here's one: Can cats see color?
欢迎来到我们的节目,彼得森博士 。让我们看看今天有什么问题要问你 。这里有一个问题:猫能看见颜色吗?
Sort of. In the wild, many cats hunt at night because their eyes are designed for low light. Your cat can't see bright colors such as red and green.
能看见一部分 。在野外,许多猫在晚上猎食,因为它们的眼睛是为低光而设计的 。你的猫看不到鲜艳的颜色,比如红色和绿色 。
But it picks up more shades of blue, yellow, and grey than humans do.
但它比人类更能识别蓝色、黄色和灰色 。
And why do cats give dead birds to their owners?
为什么猫会把死鸟送给它们的主人呢?
When your cat drops a dead bird at your feet, she isn't bringing you a present.
当你的猫把一只死鸟扔到你脚边时,她不会给你带礼物 。
Most cats just drag food home because it's a safe place to eat.
大多数猫只是把食物拖回家,因为家是一个安全的进食地方 。
A cat's mom also brings home things to her children to help them practice hunting.
猫的妈妈也会带一些东西回家给她的孩子,帮助他们练习打猎 。
So, a female cat without children may bring these "treats" to her owner instead.
所以,没有孩子的母猫可能会把这些“零食”送给它的主人
You may not like them, but at least you don't have to write her a thank-you note.
你可能不喜欢它们,但至少你不用给她写感谢信 。
