實戰(zhàn)口語情景對話：Rocky Gets a Home 小貓洛基有了新家

Adrienne: Hey, Lisa, I was hoping you could tell me a little about this cat?

埃德里安娜：嗨，莉莎，我想請你說說這只貓的情況。

Lisa: This is my cat Rocky. Her name... her full name is Rocky Parker, and the reason for that is because she is a survivor and I'll go into that, how she's a survivor soon, and also because she climbs the walls like Peter Parker, Spiderman. How we found Rocky, was that our friends of ours lived in this apartment complex. They were walking home one day and they heard this cat meowing in the bushes and they stopped and looked for it. They kept on hearing it meowing but they couldn't actually see where it was. So they started looking for it and it happened that there was a police officer who was in the general vicinity and came to help them look for the cat. So they finally found this little kitten who was not more than a month old, had obviously been abandoned by her mother and the police officer explained that because of the animal laws in the community that if they didn't take the cat in or find an owner within a week, they had to bring the cat back to the SPCA, they couldn't leave it out on the street again.

莉莎：這是我的貓洛基。它的全名是洛基·帕克，取這個名字是因為她是一個幸存者，稍后我會詳細說明為什么說它是幸存者，還有它會像蜘蛛俠彼得·帕克一樣爬墻，所以給它取了這個名字。關(guān)于我們是怎么發(fā)現(xiàn)洛基的，我們的朋友住在這棟公寓樓。有一天他們走路回家時聽到這只小貓在灌木叢里叫，所以他們就停下來去找。他們一直都能聽到貓叫的聲音，但卻看不見它在哪里。他們只能繼續(xù)找，碰巧附近有個警察，他過來幫我的朋友們一起找這只貓。最后他們找到了這只當(dāng)時大約一個月大的小貓，很顯然它被它媽媽拋棄了，那名警察說，依據(jù)社區(qū)動物法，如果他們在一周內(nèi)沒有收留這只貓或者不能為這只貓找到去處，那他們只能把這只貓帶回愛護動物協(xié)會，他們不能再把這只貓遺棄在街頭。

Adrienne: What's the SPCA?

埃德里安娜：SPCA是什么?

Lisa: The SPCA is the Society for the Protection of Animals and that controls... it regulates stray animals. It also is a place where you can bring dogs or cats and they are given away free to owners, to new pet owners.

莉莎：愛護動物協(xié)會，是管理流浪動物的組織。你可以從那里免費領(lǐng)養(yǎng)小貓小狗。
