Voice 2: Do you own a pet? Maybe you have a dog. Maybe you have a cat. You probably know someone who owns an animal. Studies say that there are about six hundred million dogs and cats in the world. But eighty percent of those animals do not have homes. This is a serious problem.
声音2：你有养宠物吗？也许你养了只狗。或是猫。你可能认识养动物的人。研究表明世界上约有六亿只狗和猫。但是80%的动物没有家。这是一个严重的问题。
Voice 1: Some people argue that cats and dogs were wild in the past — they are simply returning to a natural state. But this is not true. These pets have lived with humans for many generations. They are not able to live successfully and healthily in the wild. Cats and dogs need homes. They need to be fed regularly. They need the care of a good owner. Without that care, they become problems in their communities.
声音1：有些人认为猫和狗过去是野生的——它们只是在回归自然状态。但事实并非如此。这些宠物已经和人类共同生活了好几代。它们无法在野外顺利且健康地生活。猫和狗需要家。它们需要定期喂食。它们需要好主人的照顾。如果没有这种照顾，它们就会成为社区的问题。
Voice 2: People have owned animals since ancient times. Experts say people kept animals for three reasons. First, people kept animals as a job. They raised the animals to eat. Or people sold the animals to someone else for money. Second, people kept animals to help with work. Animals such as horses, cows, and camels helped people carry heavy loads. People used these animals for transportation. The animals also helped with farming tasks.
声音2：自古以来，人们一直有养动物。专家表示，人们饲养动物有三个原因。首先，人们以饲养动物为工作。他们养动物是为了食用这些动物。或者人们为了赚钱将动物卖给别人。其二，人们饲养动物来协助工作。马、牛和骆驼等动物可以帮助人们搬运重物。人们用这些动物来运输。这些动物也可以帮助完成农活。
Voice 1: Third, people owned animals as companions. People enjoyed spending time with these animals. Animals like dogs and cats are companion animals. They are like friends to humans. People still own animals for all these reasons today.
声音1：其三，人们养动物来陪伴自已。人们喜欢和这些动物在一起。狗和猫这样的动物是动物伴侣。它们就像人类的朋友。出于这些原因，如今人们仍在继续养动物。
