Genetic researchers in China have made a clone of a star police dog.
中国的基因研究人员克隆了一只明星警犬。
The clone was born in a laboratory in Beijing in December.
克隆犬于12月在北京的一个实验室诞生。
Tests show that the clone and her mother are almost identical genetically.
试验表明，克隆犬和它母亲的基因几乎完全相同。
The mother dog helped solve multiple murders and many other crimes.
母犬曾帮助破获多起谋杀案和其他许多犯罪案件。
The clone has already performed better than traditionally bred dogs on several tests.
在多项测试中，克隆犬的表现已经优于传统饲养的警犬。
If the clone continues to perform as well as expected, it could mean a huge reduction in the training time for police dogs, which usually takes about five years.
如果克隆犬继续保持预期的良好表现，那就意味着警犬的训练时间将大大缩短，训练警犬通常需要五年左右的时间。
The ultimate goal of scientists is to produce clones of talented police dogs that can be trained in months instead of years.
科学家们的终极目标是培育出几个月就能训练好的而不是几年才能训练好的克隆天才警犬。
However, this goal is not yet possible due to the current costs of the technology.
然而，由于目前的技术成本，这一目标还不可能实现。
This is not the first time a clone has been made of a star police dog.
这已经不是第一次克隆明星警犬了。
In South Korea, six clones began working with the police in 2008.
在韩国，六只克隆犬已于2008年开始跟警方一起行动。
