When she began her career as a professional sheep dog Floss was impressive - the sheep responded well to her, she was faster than your average and she certainly looked good. 自从弗洛斯当上牧羊狗之后，就相当引人注目，她速度快、颜值佳，羊群们也很听她的话。 But farmer Dave Issac has reluctantly decided to sell Floss as she is now too big to get through his farmyard gates - because she is a Peugeot estate car. 但是最近她的主人戴夫·伊萨克不得已决定将她卖掉，因为她太大了连戴夫家农场的门都进不了。怎么回事呢？原来弗洛斯实际上是一辆标致小汽车。 Mr Issac, 46, who lives on an 180-acre farm near Battle in East Sussex, converted the family car into a working sheep dog in tribute to his dog which had recently died. 今年46岁的戴夫，住在东萨塞克斯郡巴特尔附近的一个180英亩的大农场里，他把家里的车改装成了一条大狗，以纪念他刚刚去世的狗狗弗洛斯。 He spent £2,000 covering the family car in fur and modifying it until it became an exact replica of Floss, his favourite sheep dog. 他花了2000英镑在汽车外面加装皮毛和装饰，把这辆车变成了他最爱的狗狗弗洛斯的样子。 Floss the sheep dog car, who has a top speed of 40mph, soon proved to be a surprisingly effective herder as the flock of sheep failed to notice they were being rounded up by a much larger animal with headlamps for eyes and an exhaust. |
