Dialogue:
JJ:Hey, Xiao Gao. What did you do this weekend?
京晶:嘿,小高,你这个周末都干嘛了?
XG:I bought some clothes for some monkeys.
小高:我啊,去给小猴子买了些衣服。
JJ:For some what?! Did I just hear you say… you bought some clothes for some monkeys? Like… real monkeys?
京晶:给……给谁买衣服?我刚才听你说……你给猴子买了些衣服?那种真的猴子吗?
XG:That’s right! I have been watching some videos online about a man named Jamil who lives in Malaysia. He is an animal lover and he rescues animals, like abandoned dogs and cats. And he even rescues monkeys. In fact, he has two pigtail macaques and he treats them like his children.
小高:没错!我最近老在网上看一些视频,一个叫Jamil的住在马拉西亚的男人拍的。他是一个动物爱好者,平时救助动物,比如那些被遗弃的流浪猫流浪狗什么的,而且还救援猴子。他家正好养着两只猪尾猴,他把它们当孩子养呢。
JJ:So you bought clothes for them? I didn’t know monkeys wear clothes.
京晶:所以你给他们买衣服了?我还真不知道猴子要穿衣服呢!
XG:Well, they don’t, but some monkey owners like to dress them up in clothes. I hope that the two monkeys will like the clothes I bought for them and I hope to see their new outfits online soon.
小高:额,它们当然不穿啦,不过有些养猴子的人喜欢给它们穿上衣服,打扮一番。我希望两个小家伙能喜欢我给它们买的衣服,同时更希望能早点在网上看到它们穿上新装的样子。
JJ:Wow, I guess man and animal have a special connection.
京晶:我觉得人与动物可能真的有某种特别的联系。
XG:Yeah, he often takes his monkeys out for lunch and dinner. They are so cute!
小高:是呀,这个主人还经常带着他的猴子出门吃午餐吃晚餐什么的。它们简直太可爱了。
JJ:Hey, remember 小黄豆 and 美美? I really miss them!
京晶:对了,小高,你还记得小黄豆和美美吗?(注:京晶工作地点的一只流浪狗和她的孩子,如今已经被领养,得到妥善照顾)真想它们啊!
XG:Yeah. You were a great mother to them. I’m sure they are grateful to have been rescued by you.
小高:是啊,你还真是一个好妈妈啊!相信它们一定很感激被你救了。
JJ:Well, they also brought joy to my life. You know what they say: Dog is man’s best friend.
京晶:它们也给我的生活带来了很多乐趣,你知道人们常说:狗是人类最好的朋友。
XG:Hey, where did that saying come from?
小高:这个说法从哪儿来的?
JJ:Well, before wolves evolved into dogs, it is said that humans and wolves worked together hunting game. The wolves would track the pray, and the humans would kill it. The humans would leave some meat for the wolves. This is how man and wolf’s relationship is said to have formed.
小高:据说当狼进化成狗之前,人类与狼合作打猎,狼群追踪猎物,然后由人类捕杀,最后分一些肉给狼,这就是传说中的人与狼形成的结盟关系。
