喵星人似主人形

湖南長(zhǎng)沙 顏丹丹 供稿

It’s a common belief that over time pet owners start to look like their animals.Now comes the terrifying news that catslook up to(仰望；仰慕)their owners asrole models(行為榜樣)andmimic(模仿)their behavior.

人們普遍認(rèn)為，時(shí)間久了寵物主人會(huì)變得越來(lái)越像自己的寵物。而有“可怕”的最新消息說(shuō)喵星人會(huì)以主人為榜樣，模仿主人的一舉一動(dòng)！

Cats are intelligent animals with a long memory.They watch and learn from us.If you spend a lot of time finding food in the fridge,your cat will return to its food bowl for that midnight snack,too.According to the study,this explains why“human and catobesity rates(肥胖率)often seem to match.”

貓是很聰明的動(dòng)物，記憶力很強(qiáng)。貓會(huì)觀察人類并向人類學(xué)習(xí)。所以如果你經(jīng)常翻冰箱找食物，喵星人可能也會(huì)半夜跑到食盆前吃上兩口宵夜。這個(gè)研究正好解釋了“人類與貓的肥胖率通常比較相似”的現(xiàn)象。

There’s no word if drinking green tea and making sure you go toYoga(瑜伽)willbenefit(對(duì)……有益)your cat,but based on the study,it sounds like sticking to a healthy eating and sleeping habit is best for both of you.

雖然并無(wú)證據(jù)表明主人喝綠茶或練瑜伽也能幫到喵星人，但根據(jù)研究，健康飲食和睡眠習(xí)慣似乎對(duì)你和喵星人都有好處。

There’s a lot we can learn from our cats,too.When they sit on our lap softlypurring(貓?jiān)诟吲d時(shí)發(fā)咕嚕聲)with half-closed eyes,the sense of calm that comes over us is like a private lesson in inner peace.Sure.But cats don’t have to sit in rush hour traffic for an hour a day or worry about their lives.They’re probably pretty good at remaining calm.

相反我們也能從喵星人身上學(xué)到很多。每次喵星人蹲在我們膝頭半瞇著眼睛打呼嚕時(shí)，安寧感便油然而生，真像是在親密地教我們?nèi)绾巫龅絻?nèi)心祥和。確實(shí)如此。但喵星人又不用每天花一小時(shí)擠公交，更不會(huì)為生活而煩惱，或許它們天生就這么淡定吧。

So,according to science,even though weassumed(假設(shè))that cats werealoof(冷淡的)jerks(混蛋)all these years,it turns out they are in fact learning from us and looking up to us.Scary,huh?

所以，根據(jù)科學(xué)闡釋，盡管我們這些年來(lái)一直以為喵星人只是冷漠的小壞蛋，但結(jié)果卻證明它們竟然一直在學(xué)習(xí)并模仿我們。是不是有點(diǎn)小嚇人？
