趣味英语第207期:怎么能得到宠物老虎或狮子

David Jordao:

大卫·约道问道：

"How do I get a pet tiger or lion? I need one to attack my enemies."

“我怎么能得到宠物老虎或狮子？我需要一只这样的宠物来攻击我的敌人。”

Ooh, I like you. You're feisty. I think you should first tame one from the wild. Go to Madagascar or Africa or something.

哦，我喜欢你。你很好强。我认为你首先应该驯服一只野生的。可以去马达加斯加或非洲之类的地方。

In the jungle! (starts singing) The mighty¹ jungle, the lion sleeps tonight. Right?

去丛林！（开始唱歌）在宽阔的丛林中，今夜狮子睡着了。对吧？

If you get a pet tiger or a lion, that lion or tiger is gonna attack you, not your enemies.

如果你得到了一只宠物老虎或狮子，那那只狮子或老虎会攻击你，而不是你的敌人。

A tiger or lion will attack you as well as your enemies so try and think of something else.

老虎或狮子会攻击你的敌人，也会攻击你，所以试着想想别的方法吧。

Go down to the county and get your permits. See if you can rescue one. There's a lot of them stuck in rescue stations.

去县政府获得许可。看看你能否救援一只。有很多被困在救护站的动物。

Get a really, really fancy pet shop?

找一家非常高档的宠物店？

I don't even know where to get a good fish, like Petco. Does Petco have tigers and lions?

我甚至不知道去哪里能得到不错的鱼，也许Petco宠物店有。Petco宠物店有老虎和狮子吗？

First off, I think, probably, you have to move to Africa because I don't think they'd let you have them in this country. So that would probably end your problem with your enemies 'cause you would never see them again.

我认为，首先你可能必须搬去非洲去，因为我想这个国家是不会让你养老虎和狮子的。而搬到非洲也能解决你和你敌人之间的问题，因为你再也见不到他们了。

If it's illegal where you are, I mean, the next best thing would be a cat, but a really scary cat.

如果这在你所在的地方是合法行为，那退而求其次的方法可能是养一只猫，但得是一只非常可怕的猫。
