今天的这段对话，在讨论兔子，

为什么会决定养只兔子？养兔子很难吗

来听今天的讲解:

A: is that your rabbit?

这是你的兔子?

B: yes, I just adopted her from the humane society this weekend.

是的,我这个周末去人道协会领养的.

A: that's good for you. why did you decide to get a rabbit？

你真好.你怎么会决定养只兔子呢?

B: well, i wanted to get a pet that wouldn't disturb the neighbors. at the same time, I wanted a pet that would be affectionate.

我想养只宠物,希望它既不会吵到邻居,同时也会跟主人很亲.

A: rabbits aren't usually that affectionate, are they?

这我还真不知道.兔子难养吗?

B: if you cuddle them a lot when they are very young, they can be just as affectionate as dogs or cats.

不怎么难养.我带它到兽医那儿去打预防针的时候兽医跟我说,要经常给它修剪指甲,要给它准备水和食物,还要给它清扫笼子.

A: i didn't know that. Are rabbits difficult to take care of?

听起来挺简单的嘛.养兔子有味吗?

B: not really. I went to the veterinarian to get her vaccinated and she told me that all I needed to do was to make sure to trim its nails from time to time, to give her food and water, and to clean its cage.

不是真的。我去兽医那里给她接种了疫苗，她告诉我，我所需要做的就是确保不时修剪它的指甲，给她食物和水，并清洁它的笼子。

A: that sounds pretty easy. Do rabbits make your house smell?

听起来挺简单的嘛.养兔子有味吗?

B: No, rabbits aren't very stinky. As long as your clean the cage on a regular basis, it's not too bad.

没味儿,兔子不太臭.只要你定期给它清扫笼子,情况就不会太糟糕.

A: can you train a rabbit to do things?

你能训练兔子做事吗?

B: you can't train them like you can train dogs,but you can train them to do some things. For example, you can train them to go the bathroom in a special rabbit toliet.

你不能像训练狗一样训练兔子,但也可以训练它们做些事情.比如,让它们去卫生间让它们到专门为它指定的区域排泄.

A: that's amazing! Has she bitten you yet?

真有意思!它咬过你吗?

B:not yet. She's pretty tame. I think she must be used to being around lots of different people.

还没.它非常温顺.我想它应该跟过很多不同的主人.
