A pet parrot that spoke with a British accent when it disappeared from its home four years ago has been reunited with its owner - and the bird now speaks Spanish. 一只说着英国口音的英语的鹦鹉4年前失踪，最近重返主人身边后，这只鹦鹉已经不讲英语，改讲西班牙语了。 The reunion was brought about by a Southern California veterinarian who mistook Nigel, an African gray parrot, for her own missing bird, the Daily Breeze reported Sunday. 据媒体报道，这只名叫奈吉尔的鹦鹉能重回主人身边要归功于住在南加州的一名兽医，她是在找自己丢失的鹦鹉时遇上奈吉尔的。 Teresa Micco tracked Nigel's microchip to Darren Chick, a Brit who lives in Torrance. 这位名叫泰瑞莎·蜜可的兽医根据奈吉尔身上的晶片找到了住在加州托伦斯的英国男子戴仁·契柯。 "I introduced myself and said, `Have you lost a bird?'" Micco told the newspaper. "He initially said, `No.' But he thought I meant recently." “我自我介绍后问‘你是否丢失过一只鹦鹉呢’”。蜜可说，“他起初回答说‘没有’，不过那是因为他以为我问的是最近。” When she verified Chick's name and said she had his African grey parrot, "He looked at me like I was crazy." 当蜜可确认了契柯的名字之后，便告诉契柯他的非洲灰鹦鹉现在在她那儿，“他看着我像是我疯掉了一样。” |
