可可电台

A fuzzy animal like a cat, dog, or even a ferret makes a great companion and confers health benefits. Studies indicate that simply petting an animal reduces blood pressure, anxiety, and may actually be an effective non-medical treatment for certain forms of depression. In addition, the playful antics of a puppy or kitten and the joy of training them to perform various tricks and tasks more than makes up for any inconvenience they may cause while housebreaking.

小猫小狗或雪貂这种毛茸茸的动物都是不错的伙伴,对人的健康很有好处。研究表明,抚摸动物能降低血压和焦虑,是治愈某些抑郁症状有效的非药物疗法。而且,小狗小猫憨态可掬,训练它们应对入室盗贼的各种把戏或任务也充满乐趣,这些足以让饲养它们而造成的种种不便可以忽略不计了。

If possible, choose a pet from the vast number of rescue animals in shelters around the world. You may just save a life, making you feel even happier about your choice and winning you a loyal companion you're sure to cherish.

如果可以,就从世界各地的各大动物收容所中挑一只宠物吧。你不仅救了一条生命,还会为自己的选择而感到开心,并且又赢得了一个值得珍惜的忠诚伙伴。
