dachshund/ 腊肠犬 / (làchánɡ quǎn)

A: Do you have a pet?

你平时养宠物吗?

(nǐ pínɡshí yǎnɡ chǒnɡwù ma?)

B: Not at the moment, but I really want to have a dog. 

目前还没有,我很想养一只狗。

(mùqián hái méiyǒu, wǒ hěnxiǎnɡ yǎnɡ yīzhī ɡǒu.)

A: I got a dachshund recently.

我最近养了一只腊肠犬。

(wǒ zuìjìn yǎnɡle yīzhī làchánɡ quǎn.)

B: Their round eyes make them look really innocent. Their short legs and tummy that is so close to the ground make them look funny and cute.

它们的眼睛圆圆地看起来很无辜。短短的腿和快要贴近地面的肚皮让人觉得幽默却可爱。

(tāmén de yǎnjīnɡ yuányuán dì kànqǐlái hěnwúɡū. duǎnduǎnde tuǐ hé kuàiyào tiējìn dìmiàn de dùpí rànɡrén juédé yōumò què kěài.)

A: Dachshunds actually are hunting hounds. There are long-hair and short-hair hounds, as well as chocolate colored and black. Did you know that they are different from other dogs? Their spine can be hurt very easily, so you have to be very careful when you hold them. Do not try to drag them. 

腊肠犬其实属于猎犬,有长毛犬和短毛犬,巧克力色和黑色。你知道它们和其它狗狗不同,背部脊椎很容易受伤,因此抱腊肠狗要格外小心。不要使劲拉扯它们的身体。

(làchánɡ quǎn qíshí shǔyú lièquǎn, yǒu chánɡmáo quǎn hé duǎnmáo quǎn, qiǎokèlì sè hé hēisè. nǐ zhīdào tāmén hé qítā ɡǒuɡǒu bùtónɡ, bèibù jǐzhuī hěn rónɡyì shòushānɡ, yīncǐ bào làchánɡ ɡǒu yào ɡéwài xiǎoxīn. bùyào shǐjìn lāchě tāmén de shēntǐ.)
