地道美語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力播客784: 收養(yǎng)寵物（雙語(yǔ)）

Gabe: Why are we here? I thought we decided to put off getting a dog. 
蓋比：我們?yōu)槭裁磿?huì)在這兒？我以為我們已經(jīng)推遲領(lǐng)養(yǎng)小狗了。
Rene: I know that’s what you’d like to do, but I thought a trip to the pound might convince you that this is the right time to adopt a dog. Look at this cute little dog. This card lists his breed and says that he was neglected and abandoned. How could you turn down a face like that? 
瑞恩：我知道你想領(lǐng)養(yǎng)一只小狗，但是我認(rèn)為去寵物收容所也許會(huì)讓你堅(jiān)信現(xiàn)在是收養(yǎng)小狗的合適時(shí)機(jī)?？纯催@只可愛(ài)的小狗，身上的標(biāo)簽說(shuō)它是被遺棄的流浪狗。你怎么能夠拒絕那樣一只可憐的小狗呢？
Gabe: I don’t think he’s right for us. Let’s move on. 
蓋比：我不認(rèn)為這只小狗適合我們，我們?cè)倏纯础?br /> Rene: Look at this one. It says on his card that when they found him, he showed signs of abuse. Poor baby. How can you not be moved to take this little guy home? 
瑞恩：看這只小狗，據(jù)說(shuō)他們找到這只小狗的時(shí)候，它有被人虐待的跡象?？蓱z的小狗，你怎么能不觸動(dòng)，不把這只可憐的小狗帶回家呢？
Gabe: Let’s keep moving. 
蓋比：我們繼續(xù)往前看。
Rene: How about this little dog? I’d hate to see this little guy be put down. Here, pet her and look at her little face. 
瑞恩：這只小狗怎么樣？我討厭看到這么小的狗被安樂(lè)死。來(lái)這兒，摸摸這只小狗，看她的小臉。
Gabe: This animal shelter isn’t going to put down these dogs. It’s a humane place. 
蓋比：這個(gè)動(dòng)物收容所不會(huì)弄死這些小狗。這里是個(gè)人道主義地方。
Rene: They have no choice. They find so many strays that there’s no room to keep them. It’s so sad. It’s tragic, really. 
瑞恩：他們沒(méi)有選擇，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)很多流浪的寵物，沒(méi)有地方容納它們，這很令人惋惜，它們真的好可憐。
Gabe: Maybe... 
蓋比：也許……
Rene: What did you say? 
瑞恩：你說(shuō)什么？
Gabe: I said maybe we could take one home, maybe two. 
蓋比：我說(shuō)也許我們可以帶一只寵物或者兩只寵物回去。
Rene: Really? Two would be great, but three would be better. 
瑞恩：真的？?jī)芍蛔詈?，但是三只的話更好?br /> Gabe: Don’t push your luck! 
蓋比：不要得寸進(jìn)尺??！
