雙語美文閱讀:在狗狗眼里,人類是不老的神
狗狗是人類最忠實的朋友，但人類的壽命比狗狗長久的多，如果在狗狗眼里，人類是不老的神會怎樣?
What If Dogs Think We Are Immortal?
如果在狗狗眼里，人類是不老的神會怎么樣?
Someone posted that concept on Tumblr, and the responses that came in brought tears to my eyes.
有人把這個想法分享在Tumblr上，讓我感動不已。
"They live so long… but the good ones still bond with us for our entire lives."
“他們活得那么久，但好人仍然和我們一生一世在一起。”
"These immortals are so kind we must be good friends to them."
“這些不老的神真友好，我們一定要和他們做朋友。”
Many dogs never get to see their owners grow old and weak:
許多狗從來沒有看到他們的主人變衰老：
"Now I am old. The fur around my muzzle is grey and my joints ache when we walk together. Yet she remains unchanged, her hair still glossy, her skin still fresh, her step still sprightly. Time doesn’t touch her and yet I love her still."
“現在我老了。我鼻口周圍的毛變成了灰色。當我們一起走的時候，我的關節疼痛不已。然而她依然沒有變老，她的頭發依然是那么有光澤，她的皮膚依然是那么的嫩滑，她的步伐依然是那么的輕快。歲月在她身上沒有留下痕跡，而我也仍然愛她。”
But some do:
但是有些狗這樣想到：
"For generations, he has guarded over my family. Since the days of my great-great-great-great-great-grandfather he has kept us safe. For so long we thought him immortal. But now I see differently, for just as my fur grows gray and my joints grow stiff, so too do his. I will be the last that he cares for. My only hope is that I am able to last until his final moments. The death of one of his kind is so rare. The ending of a life so long is such a tragedy. He has seen so much, he knows so much. I know he takes comfort in my presence. I only wish that I will be able to give him this comfort until the end."
世世代代以來，他一直守護著我的家。自從我曾曾曾曾曾祖父開始，他一直保護著我們。這么久了以至于我們以為他是長生不老的。但現在我有了不同的看法，因為正如我的皮毛會變灰，我的關節會變得僵硬，他也會像我一樣會變老。我將成為他最后一個關心照顧的狗了。我唯一的希望就是我能堅持到他生命的最后一刻。他們的死亡對于我們來說太罕見了。這么長的人生就這樣終結了，這是多么大的悲劇啊。他飽經世故，他知識淵博。我知道他在我面前能夠感受到慰藉。我只希望能一直給他這種安慰直到最后一刻。”
