一只猫猫在其被遗弃的地方,无论寒暑,坚持等待她的主人回来,这样一副情景让无数网民们泪奔。
The tale of a cat who sits faithfully waiting for its family to come back to the spot where it was abandoned has captured the hearts of internet users.
一只猫咪在其被遗弃的地方,无论寒暑地坚持等待它的主人回来,这样一副情景让无数网民们泪奔。
The sad story was posted on Vkontakte (Russian Facebook) by user Ostap Zadunayskly, where he compared the cat’s plight to that of Greyfriar’s Bobby, a Skye Terrier who spent 14 years guarding his owner’s grave.
这个悲伤的故事是由奥斯特(Ostap Zadunayskly)传到Vkontakte(类似俄罗斯的脸书),奥斯特将这只猫咪比作英国的忠犬波比,波比是苏格兰长毛短腿猎犬,它守候在死去主人的无名墓地旁直到 14 年后自己死去。
He first spotted the cat in Belgorod, south-west Russia, in summer 2015, and soon realised that it sits in exactly the same place every day.
2015年夏天,他在俄罗斯南东南部的别尔哥罗德第一次发现这只猫咪,随后,他意识到这只猫咪每天都会蹲在同一个地方。
Ostap asked around and was told that the cat’s owners used to live in the area but sold up and moved out some time ago.
奥斯特打听了一下,才知道这只猫咪的主人以前住在这个区域,但是不久前卖掉房子,搬走了。
The story gets a bit over the top here; someone told him that they’d seen the cat running after the car when they drove off (not very cat-like behaviour) and that the cat has been waiting at the same spot for them to return “for years” (sure).
故事到这儿就有点儿到了高潮。有人说,他们曾看见,当主人全家搬离时,这只猫咪追着那辆汽车跑(不太像一只猫会做的事情),而且从那以后,他们就看到,“多年来”,这只猫一直在一个地方等主人回来。
Locals have taken to feeding the cat, which might be a more credible explanation for why it stays put.
当地人也经常会喂猫咪一些吃的,这也可能是这只猫为何会一直待在这个地方,更为合理的解释。
Mr Zadunayskiy said: “This is a great example of human meanness and true animal loyalty."
奥斯特在他的文章中称,这是人类的无情以及动物的忠诚,最好的体现。
Many Internet commenters quoted from the book The Little Prince, written by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, saying, "You become responsible forever for what you’ve tamed."
许多网民引用安托尼.圣埃克苏佩里所著《小王子》中的名言,“你将永远为你所驯服的东西负责。”
Or for what you’ve started feeding.
或者你开始喂养的。
