你恋上猫，是否因为被他们悄无声息的神秘所吸引，是否因为沉醉于他们每一步间的优雅姿态，还是因为迷恋他们那仿佛能看穿你心思的眼睛……爱猫养猫之人不只是爱猫，而是迷恋关于猫的一切，面对猫，他们似乎毫无招架之力，只能不知不觉沦陷…… Right under our nose in our home cities and town on our sofas and lap a quiet invasion has been taking place. The cat is now officially the most popular pet in the Western world. In Britain alone it's reckoned there are 12 million cat a vast,softly purring army which it seems we are utterly powerless to resist. 就在我们眼皮底下，家里，大城小镇内，沙发和膝头上，有种动物静悄悄地侵入我们的世界。猫已然正式成为西方国家最受欢迎的宠物。单单在英国，就估计有一千二百万只猫。面对这支只会轻轻呼噜的大军，我们似乎完全无力招架。 We don't have a cat. Well, not any more. For 18 years we had a gorgeous cat called The Bee. When he died, I missed him more than I could ever have imagined. I still think about him every day. We even gave him a little gravestone. 我们没有养猫，应该说，现在没有了。本来我们有一只很漂亮的猫，养了18年，给他起名叫“蜜蜂”。他死后，我对他的思念比想象中的还要深，现在每天仍然想起他。我们甚至为他立了块小小的墓碑。 People say that you choose a dog, but the cat chooses you. And people say that cats are 1)aloof. Well I don't know about that, all I know is that The Bee, our beloved cat, was much more than a pet, he was a friend. We loved him dearly. And do you know, I think he loved us dearly too. 有人说狗任人挑选，猫却挑选主人。有人说猫性情冷漠，这方面我不肯定。我只知道我们深爱的蜜蜂不只是宠物这么简单，他是我们的朋友。我们深爱他，而我相信他也深爱我们。 |
