一只貓貓在其被遺棄的地方,無論寒暑,堅持等待她的主人回來,這樣一副情景讓無數網民們淚奔。
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.
一只貓咪在其被遺棄的地方,無論寒暑地堅持等待它的主人回來,這樣一副情景讓無數網民們淚奔。
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.
這個悲傷的故事是由奧斯特(Ostap Zadunayskly)傳到Vkontakte(類似俄羅斯的臉書),奧斯特將這只貓咪比作英國的忠犬波比,波比是蘇格蘭長毛短腿獵犬,它守候在死去主人的無名墓地旁直到 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,他在俄羅斯南東南部的別爾哥羅德第一次發現這只貓咪,隨后,他意識到這只貓咪每天都會蹲在同一個地方。
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.
奧斯特打聽了一下,才知道這只貓咪的主人以前住在這個區域,但是不久前賣掉房子,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).
故事到這兒就有點兒到了高潮。有人說,他們曾看見,當主人全家搬離時,這只貓咪追著那輛汽車跑(不太像一只貓會做的事情),而且從那以后,他們就看到,“多年來”,這只貓一直在一個地方等主人回來。
Locals have taken to feeding the cat, which might be a more credible explanation for why it stays put.
當地人也經常會喂貓咪一些吃的,這也可能是這只貓為何會一直待在這個地方,更為合理的解釋。
Mr Zadunayskiy said: “This is a great example of human meanness and true animal loyalty."
奧斯特在他的文章中稱,這是人類的無情以及動物的忠誠,最好的體現。
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."
許多網民引用安托尼.圣埃克蘇佩里所著《小王子》中的名言,“你將永遠為你所馴服的東西負責。”
Or for what you’ve started feeding.
或者你開始喂養的。
