   What do you call a sheep with two faces?

  长两张脸的羊,你可该叫它什么好?
  That's the conundrum a Kiwi farming family has contended with since they discovered one of their ewes had given birth to a baby lamb with the unique deformity last Friday.
  上周五,新西兰一家农户发现自家一只母绵羊生了一只外形奇特的小羊,很是困惑。
  'I've tried to think of a name for it but it's so unique that nothing really fits,' said farmer Justine Parker, from Slope Point Farms, near Invercargill at the southernmost point of New Zealand's South Island.
  “我曾经试图给它起个名字,但是它实在太特别了、合适的名字很难起。”来自新西兰南岛最南端因弗卡吉尔附近的农夫贾斯汀·帕克说道。
  One North Island radio station suggested they call it U2.
  一家北岛之声称,他们管这种动物叫“U2”。

  But the family appears to have settled on a name thought up by Ms Parker's little girls, Anna, 10, and Sarah, 8, and Kate, 6.
  但是这家人似乎已经就它的名字达成了一致,这个名字是帕克家的小女孩们想出来的,10岁的安娜、8岁的萨沙和6岁的凯特。
  'My wee girls just called it Two Face,' Ms Parker told Daily Mail Australia.
  “我的小女儿们就把它叫做Two Face。”帕克女士告诉《每日邮报》澳大利亚记者站记者。
  With four eyes, two noses and two mouths, Two Face is a little different from the rest of the flock.
  Two Face长有四只眼睛、两只鼻子和两张嘴,和羊群中的其他羊很不同。
  But after the initial surprise of discovering the little lamb with 'two of everything', Two Face has fast become one of the family's favourite farm animals.
  虽然一开始这只双头羊让一家人很吃惊,但很快它就成为他们家最喜欢的农场动物了。
  'We really care for him like one of our own now,' Ms Parker said.
  “我们真的很喜欢它,就好像它是我们家庭成员的一部分。” 帕克女士说道。
  Two Face's deformities have only caused him a few issues.
  Two Face只有一些小问题会影响到日常生活。
  He tilts slightly to the left when he walks and has some difficult feeding.
  它走路的时候有点向左倾斜,吃东西的时候稍微有点困难。
  But Ms Parker said Two Face appears to be a happy lamb who interacts with the other farm animals like normal.
  但帕克女士说,Two Face似乎像羊群中的其他羊一样、是一只快乐的小羊。
  Farmers often encounter deformed lambs, but it's rare for them to live this long.
  农民们会经常看到畸形羊,但是畸形羊能活这么长时间还是不容易的。
  'We do know - and the kids know - it's not going to live forever,' Ms Parker told Daily Mail Australia.
  帕克夫人告诉《每日邮报》澳洲站记者:“我们不知道它会活多久,但孩子们知道。她们说它会永远活下去。”
  'But for it to live this long is a bit of a miracle really.'
  “但对于它来说,能活现在这么久已经是个奇迹了。”
