生活英语口语:我领养了一只兔子
S: is that your rabbit?
A: yes, I just adopted her from the humane society this weekend.
S: that's good for you. why did you decide to get a rabbit.
A: well, I wanted to get a pet that wouldn't disturb the neighbors. at the same time, I wanted a pet that would be affectionate.
S: rabbits aren't usually that affectionate, are they?
A: if you cuddle them a lot when they are very young, they can be just as affectionate as dogs or cats.
S: I didn't know that. Are rabbits difficult to take care of?
A: not really. I went to the veterinarian to get her vaccinated and she told me that all I needed to do was to make sure to trim its nails from time to time, to give her food and water, and to clean its cage.
S: that sounds pretty easy. Do rabbits make your house smell?
A: No, rabbits aren't very stinky. As long as your clean the cage on a regular basis, it's not too bad.
S: can you train a rabbit to do things?
A: you can't train them like you can train dogs,but you can train them to do some things. For example, you can train them to go the bathroom in a special rabbit toliet.
S: that's amazing! Has she bitten you yet?
A:Not yet. She's pretty tame. I think she must be used to being around lots of different people.

是的,我这个周末去人道协会领养的.
你真好.你怎么会决定养只兔子呢?
我想养只宠物,希望它既不会吵到邻居,同时也会跟主人很亲.
这我还真不知道.兔子难养吗?
不怎么难养.我带它到兽医那儿去打预防针的时候兽医跟我说,要经常给它修剪指甲,要给它准备水和食物,还要给它清扫笼子.
听起来挺简单的嘛.养兔子有味吗?
没味儿,兔子不太臭.只要你定期给它清扫笼子,情况就不会太糟糕.
你能训练兔子做事吗?
你不能像训练狗一样训练兔子,但也可以训练它们做些事情.比如,让它们去卫生间让它们到专门为它指定的区域排泄.

还没.它非常温顺.我想它应该跟过很多不同的主人.
