你養寵物嗎？

不養。

中國人喜歡養寵物嗎？

You:It is common nowadays for people to have dogs but only in recnet years.

人們現在似乎很喜歡養狗，但是也是最近幾年纔開始的。

David:Dogs are the most popular pets in the U.S. also. Dogs are called "man's best friends", since they are very loyal. How about cats?

狗也是美國最受歡迎的寵物。因爲它對主人很忠誠，因此又被叫做“人類最好的朋友”。貓呢？

You:In the countryside many people have cats, but in modern cities people prefer having a dog. Perhaps some people in the city like to have cats as well, but I am not sure.

農村人都喜歡養貓，但是城裏人更喜歡養狗。城市人也有喜歡養貓的，我說不準。

David:Do you like cats?

你喜歡貓嗎？

You:It's hard to say.I don't really like cats, but if someone in my family wanted to have a cat, I would say yes. I myself wouldn't bring up the subject.

這很難說。我不怎麼喜歡貓，不過如果家裏有人想要養一隻，我也不會反對的。不過我不會提起這類的話題。

David:What do you think about this cat? Would you want it live in your house?

你覺得這隻貓怎麼樣？你想要在家裏養一隻這樣的貓嗎？

You:It's too big to believe.

這貓太大了，真讓人難以置信。

David:It's a very big cat.

它確實很大。

You:Is the picture for real?

這張照片上的貓是真的嗎？

David:This is a real cat. The owner must have fed it very much. It looks like a lion. So big.

是真的。這家主人一定餵它吃了好多東西。看起來像頭小獅子，真大。

You:It's a disgusting picture.

不過我不太喜歡這樣的貓。

David:Oh,I'm sorry.

哦，原來這樣。

You:I'm still wondering whether it's real or not.

而且我懷疑這究竟是不是一隻真的貓。
