饲养宠物

Nowadays, many people would like to keep pets as their companions. There are so many pet shops, pet foods and even pet clinics around us. For the pet owners, pets are their favorite friends and can bring them countless pleasures.

现在，很多人喜欢喂养宠物作为自己的伙伴。我们周围有许多宠物商店，宠物食品甚至宠物医院。对于那些宠物的饲养者来说，宠物是他们最好的朋友并且能给他们带来无尽的乐趣。

However, pets can bring problems to others as well. Some people complain that their lives are disturbed by so many dogs' barking; some children even get hurt by the dogs or cats. Many people think that pet-keeping should be limited.

然而，宠物也会给他人带来麻烦。有些人抱怨他们的生活被如此多的狗吠声所骚扰；小猫小狗还可能伤及孩子。许多人认为喂养宠物应该受到限制。

As far as I am concerned, pets are our friends so we should treat them kindly. Yet we should also consider other people's feelings. I hope while we are enjoying the happiness pets bring to us, other people can also continue their quiet and peaceful lives.

就我而言，宠物是我们的朋友，我们应该善待他们。然而我们也应顾及他人的感受。我希望在我们享受宠物给我们带来的幸福时，他人仍能够拥有宁静平和的生活。
