golden retriever/ 金毛犬 / (jīnmáoquǎn)

A: Do you a dog person?

你是爱狗之人吗？

(nǐshì ài ɡǒu zhīrén ma?)

B: Yeah, I really like doggies. 

是的,我非常喜欢狗狗。

(shìde, wǒ fēichánɡ xǐhuān ɡǒuɡǒu.)

A: So what do you think about the relationship between dogs and people?

那你如何看待人和狗之间的关系呢？

(nànǐ rúhé kàndài rén hé ɡǒu zhījiān de ɡuānxì ne?)

B: I feel it should be relatively equal. I really don't like the pet consumerism, like having them wear odd clothing or dying their fur. I think it is rather gross to treat a pet as an accessory.  

我觉得应该是相对平等的。我非常不喜欢消费宠物的行为,例如让它们穿奇怪的服装,给它们染发。把宠物当做自己的饰品,让我感到恶心。

(wǒ juédé yīnɡɡāi shì xiānɡduì pínɡděnɡ de.wǒ fēichánɡ bù xǐhuān xiāofèi chǒnɡwù de xínɡwéi, lìrú rànɡ tāmén chuān qíɡuài de fúzhuānɡ, ɡěi tāmén rǎnfā.bǎ chǒnɡwù dānɡzuò zìjǐde shìpǐn, rànɡ wǒ ɡǎndào èxīn.)

A: I agree. I feel that people and dogs have equally sincere feelings for each other, like that little boy online recently who would refer to his old golden retriever as big brother. 

我赞同。我认为人和狗之间有平等真挚的感情,就像最近网上有个小男孩把自己的老年金毛犬称作是哥哥一样。

(wǒ zàntónɡ. wǒ rènwéi rén hé ɡǒu zhījiān yǒu pínɡděnɡ zhēnzhì de ɡǎnqínɡ, jiùxiànɡ zuìjìn wǎnɡshànɡ yǒu ɡè xiǎonánhái bǎ zìjǐde lǎonián jīnmáoquǎn chēnɡzuò shì ɡēɡē yīyànɡ.)

B: I saw that news too.Because the boy heard that the dog had gotten old, he leaned on it and said "Big brother, it's all my fault." He is so cute.

我也看到了这个新闻。这个小男孩因为听到金毛犬老了,就趴在它身上说 "哥哥,我错了"。他太可爱了。

(wǒ yě kàndàole zhèɡè xīnwén.zhèɡè xiǎonánhái yīnwéi tīnɡdào jīnmáoquǎn lǎole, jiù pāzài tā shēnshànɡ shuō "ɡēɡē,wǒ cuòle".tā tài kěài le.)
