Skateboarding Dog 玩滑板的狗狗

I found a very interesting video on YouTube; it showed a dog playing with a skateboard. The dog could stand and keep balance on the board, and even control the direction of its movement. First he put two legs (front and hind) on the board and used the other legs to make the board move. When the board was going, the dog got on with all four legs. The video shows this in a place where lots of boys were skateboarding. The boys stopped to watch the dog, but it didn’t care about them. The dog was having too much fun!
Of course it's no doubt that the owner of this dog loves his pet and pays it a lot of attention, and is probably proud of his dog, who know how to ride a skateboard and really enjoys playing. There are many stories like this, all based on people loving and caring for their pets. In this case, the dog’s owner doesn’t treat his pet as an animal; the dog is a member of the family.

中文翻译:
在YouTube网站,我发现一个很有意思的视频;放的是一只狗狗在玩滑板。这狗狗能在滑板上保持平衡,甚至能掌控滑板的方向和移动。首先它将同一侧的两只脚放在滑板上,另两只脚蹬地让滑板移动。滑板开始滑的时候,再将另两只脚放上来。这些都发生在一个有很多男生玩滑板的地方。惹得这些男孩都驻足观看,可这狗狗则无暇顾及,继续享受着它的滑板之乐。
毫无疑问,这狗狗的主人爱它,在它身上花心思,或许还以它为豪,谁叫它沉迷其中并且还技术不赖。类似这样的事很多,狗狗可以有它们自己的爱好,这些都基于人们对狗狗的爱护及关怀。而对于这只狗狗,恐怕它的主人不是把它当成一只动物,而是家庭的一员。

We Need More Activities 更多的志愿者

According to social theories, there are formal and informal ties between individuals. Formal ties mean the relationship between people in an orgnization, while informal ties are more casual, as between acquaintances, friends, parents and children, or between relatives, etc.
There are also strong and weak ties. If a person is actively participating in an orgnization, or casual relationship, we can say that ties are strong, but if a person only complies to rules without any contribution to an orgnization or relationship, the tie is weak.
For our decleration of animal protection, we need activities with strong ties, so we can do more things for the animals. We need individuals who will take initiative to move ahead, rather than just a passively accept the idea of animal protection.

中文翻译:
基于社会学理论,在个体之间存在着正式与非正式的关系。正式的关系意味着在一个组织中人们的关系;非正式关系则意味着更加随意的关系,如熟人,朋友,双亲,子女或者亲戚之间的关系。
同样的,个体之间还有着强与弱的的关系。如果一个人在组织或者随意的关系当中非常地活跃,我们就可以说这是种强关联的关系;但是如果一个人仅仅只是遵从规则而对组织或者关联没有任何建树,这层关系就非常的弱了。
对于动物保护的宣传,我们需要的是强关联当中的积极分子,为保护动物做贡献更多的力量。我们需要个体的建议及推动,而不仅仅只是消极地接受保护动物这一想法。

Vegeterian 素食主义者

From the word, we know vegeterians only eat vegetables and no meat products, usually because they love animals, even farm animals. Today, I know there are also people who are vegan, which means they even do without food and clothing derived from animals. For more information about vegans, you can go to this website:
http://www.ivu.org/hkvegan/gb/main.html

中文翻译:
从字面就可看出来,素食主义者只吃蔬菜不吃任何肉类产品。这是因为素食主义者很爱动物,甚至于农场动物。今天,我知道还有一种人,称为纯素食主义者,那么就以为着他们不穿动物的皮毛,也不吃从动物而来的食物,甚至于鸡蛋和蜂蜜,他们认为这些食物同样也是对动物的剥削。
更多有关纯素食主义的消息,参看以上网站。

Dog Was Not Good at Year of Dog 狗年狗狗的惨淡命运

Two yesrs ago before this Year of Mouse--Year of Dog maybe not a good year for dog, because some dogs were been send as present or bought for the name of the year with owner who didn't have patient to feed them long enough.
Because of more and more stray dogs and cats, an association was been found for these poor little animal, but this is not enough. If we don't change the people's attitude who have little responsibility to their pets, there will be more and more stray animals in the street.
Though this news was two years ago, we still feel sorry to look at it.

中文翻译:
两年之前是狗年,但并不意味着狗狗有着好的命运,因为有些狗狗被当作礼物送到或者因为狗年而被卖到没有耐心喂养它们的主人家里。
因为越来越多的流浪狗和猫,爱心人士在民间组建了动物保护组织来保护这些动物,但这些仍然不够。如果我们人们不改变那些对动物缺少责任感人的观念,流浪动物将会越来越多。
虽然这条新闻已是两年之前的了,看到它我们仍然感到遗憾。
