關於愛狗的英文文章

　　狗狗喜歡群居,害怕形單影隻,單獨留在家中,會令到它緊張恐慌。愛狗狗的人，對狗狗應該要懂得他們的需要。以下是小編為大家整理的關於愛狗的英文的文章，歡迎閱讀參考!

　　篇【1】

　　The best friend a man has in the world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or daughter that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name may become traitors to their faith.

　　一個人在世上最好的朋友會和他反目，成為他的敵人。他悉心養育的兒女會不忠不孝。那些和我們最親近的人，那些我們以幸福和美名信賴的人會背信棄義。

　　The money that a man has, he may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it most. A man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us, may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our heads.

　　一個人擁有的金錢會失去，也許就在他最需要的時候。一個人的名譽會因瞬間的不當之舉而喪失貽盡。那些當我們功成名就時跪拜向我們致敬的人也許是第一個在失敗的陰雲籠罩我們時對我們投石下井。

　　The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog. A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer.

　　在這個自私的世界裡，一個人能有的最無私的，從不拋棄他，從不知恩不報，從不背信棄義的朋友是他的狗。無論富有或貧窮，無論健康或是患病，一個人的狗總佇立在主人身旁。如果能和主人在一起，它願意睡在冰冷的地上，任憑寒風凜冽，朔雪飄零。它願意親吻沒有食物奉送的手。

　　He will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounters with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings, and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens. If fortune drives the master forth, an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him, to guard him against danger, to fight against his enemies.

　　它願意舔撫艱難人世帶來的創痕。它守衛著窮主人安睡如同守衛王子。當所有的朋友離去，它留駐。當財富不翼而飛，當名譽毀之貽盡，它仍然熱愛著主人，如日當空，亙古不變。如果在命運驅使下，主人被世人拋棄，眾叛親離，無家可歸，忠誠的狗僅僅要求能陪伴主人，守衛他免遭危險，去和他的敵人搏鬥。

　　And when the last scene of all comes, and death takes his master in its embrace and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by the graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad, but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even in death.

　　當最後的時刻來臨，死神擁抱著主人，他的驅體掩埋在冰冷的黃土之下，任憑所有的朋友風流雲散，就在墓地旁，你可以看見那高尚的狗，它的頭伏在兩爪之間，雙眼神情悲傷，卻警覺注視著，忠誠至死。

　　Dog Sense: How the New Science of Dog Behaviour Can Make You a Better Friend to Your Pet. By John Bradshaw.

　　《狗的內心世界：狗狗行為學的研究能讓你和狗狗相處的更好》 作者: John Bradshaw。

　　The relationship between people and dogs is unique. Among domesticated animals, only dogs are capable of performing such a wide variety of roles for humans: herding sheep, sniffing out drugs or explosives and being our beloved companions. It is hard to be precise about when the friendship began, but a reasonable guess is that it has been going strong for more than 20,000 years. In the Chauvet cave in the Ardèche region of France, which contains the earliest known cave paintings, there is a 50-metre trail of footprints made by a boy of about ten alongside those of a large canid that appears to be part-wolf, part-dog. The footprints, which have been dated by soot deposited from the torch the child was carrying, are estimated to be about 26,000 years old.

　　人類與狗狗的關係相當特殊。在家飼的動物中，只有狗狗能勝任如此之多的角色：牧羊犬、緝毒犬、排爆犬、伴侶犬。很難準確的說這種友誼從何時開始的，但是一個合理的猜測是，這種友誼是過去長達2萬多年時間以來逐漸加深的。在法國阿爾代什地區的肖維巖洞內，發現的現今所知最早的壁畫，一個大約10歲的男孩留下的50米的足跡旁是一串大型半狼半狗的犬科動物足跡。從男孩所舉的火把落下的灰燼可推算出，這串足跡距今大約2.6萬年了.

　　The first proto-dogs probably remained fairly isolated from each other for several thousand years. As they became progressively more domesticated they moved with people on large-scale migrations, mixing their genes with other similarly domesticated creatures and becoming increasingly dog-like ***and less wolf-like*** in the process. For John Bradshaw, a biologist who founded the anthrozoology department at the University of Bristol, having some idea about how dogs got to be dogs is the first stage towards gaining a better understanding of what dogs and people mean to each other. Part of his agenda is to explode the many myths about the closeness of dogs to wolves and the mistakes that this has led to, especially in the training of dogs over the past century or so.

　　始祖狗最初都是獨來獨往的，這一狀況維持了數千年。但當它們被逐漸馴化後，跟隨人類進行大規模遷徙，使得它們的基因與其它相似的家飼動物的基因發生了融合，漸漸的它們看上去更像狗而非狼了。作為 Bristol 大學的人類與動物關係學系的創始人，生物學家Mr. John Bradshaw認為，要想更好的理解狗狗與人類的關係，首先得具備一些關於狗狗進化的知識。他的一部分工作是探究很多有關狗與狼之間傳說中的親緣關係，及由此產生的各種誤解。特別是過去一個世紀以來的狗狗馴化的過程。

　　One idea has governed dog training for far too long, Mr Bradshaw says. Wolf packs are supposedly despotic hierarchies dominated by alpha wolves. Dogs are believed to behave in the same way in their dealings with humans. Thus training a dog effectively becomes a contest for dominance in which there can be only one winner. To achieve this the trainer must use a variety of punishment techniques to gain the dog's submission to his mastery. Just letting a dog pass through a door before you or stand on the stairs above you is to risk encouraging it to believe that it is getting the upper hand over you and the rest of the household. Mr Bradshaw argues that the theory behind this approach is based on bad and outdated science.

　　Mr Bradshaw說，在對狗狗的長期馴化中，有一個理論一直主導著人類，即，狼群是受一個暴戾的頭狼統領的。狗狗對人類的服從就沿襲了狼的這一行為模式。於是，對狗狗的馴化就成了統領權的競賽，贏家只有一個。為了實現這一點，人類必須使用各種懲罰的方法來讓狗狗服從它的主人。不能讓狗狗先於你進家門或站在高高的樓梯頂端。這都會讓狗狗相信在飼主及其家人面前，它們佔了上風。 Mr Bradshaw 認為這種方法背後的理論基礎都站不住腳而且相當落伍。

　　Dogs share 99.6% of the same DNA as wolves. That makes dogs closer to wolves than we are to chimps ***with which we have about 96% of our DNA in common***, but it does not mean that their brains work like those of wolves. Indeed, the outgoing affability of most dogs towards humans and other dogs is in sharp contrast to the mix of fear and aggression with which wolves react to animals from other packs. “Domestication has been a long and complex process,” Mr Bradshaw writes. “Every dog alive today is a product of this transition. What was once another one of the wild social canids, the grey wolf, has been altered radically, to the point that it has become its own unique animal.” If anything, dogs resemble juvenile rather than fully adult canids, a sort of arrested development which accounts for the way they remain dependent on their human owners throughout their lives.

　　狗與狼的基因99.6%是一樣的。這使得狗與狼的關係遠比人類與黑猩猩的更近***人類與黑猩猩的基因有96%是相同的***，但這並不意味著狗狗的大腦與狼的工作原理是一樣的。的確，絕大多數的狗狗對人類和自己的同類都表現的很友好，於此截然相反的是，狼對其它動物的反應則表現為多疑和攻擊性。“家飼馴化是一個漫長而複雜的過程” Mr Bradshaw寫到，“每一條生活在今天的狗狗都是這一變遷的產物，曾有是一種群居的野生犬科動物-灰狼，經過了徹底的演變，從而變成了一種獨一無二的動物”.如果說有什麼相同的話，狗不再是成熟的犬科動物而是停留在了幼年狀態，它們終其一生要依靠它們的飼主才能生活。

　　But what makes the dog-wolf paradigm especially misleading, Mr Bradshaw argues, is that until recently, the studies of wolves were of the wrong wolves in extremely artificial conditions. In the wild, wolf packs tend to be made up of close family members representing up to three generations. The father and mother of the first lot of cubs are the natural leaders of the pack, but the behavioural norm is one of co-operation rather than domination and submission. However, the wolves on which biologists founded their conclusions about dominance hierarchies were animals living in unnaturally constituted groups in captivity. Mr Bradshaw says that feral or “village” dogs, which are much closer to the ancestors of pet dogs than they are to wolves, are highly tolerant of one another and organise themselves entirely differently from either wild or captive wolves.

　　但是，是什麼讓狗與狼的關係模式誤導了大家? Mr Bradshaw 認為問題出在作為研究物件的狼都是眷養在極端人工的環境下，是選“錯”了狼。在野外，狼群都是由關係較近的祖孫三代家庭成員組成，父親和母親會自然而然的變成第一代子女幼仔的頭狼，但在行為模式上表現的是合作關係而非統治和服從。而讓生物學家們得出統治權爭奪的結論都是基於那些生活在非自然狀態下，被人工眷養的狼群之上的。 Mr Bradshaw 認為，與其說狼是寵物狗的祖先，不如說野狗或“土”狗才是寵物狗的祖先。因為它們之間更寬容，而且在組群關係上與不管是野生狼群或眷養狼群都相去甚遠。
