Welcome to our program, Dr Peterson. Let's see what questions we've got for you today. Here's one: Can cats see color?
欢迎来到我们的节目，彼得森博士。让我们看看今天有什么问题要问你。这里有一个问题:猫能看见颜色吗?
Sort of. In the wild, many cats hunt at night because their eyes are designed for low light. Your cat can't see bright colors such as red and green.
能看见一部分。在野外，许多猫在晚上猎食，因为它们的眼睛是为低光而设计的。你的猫看不到鲜艳的颜色，比如红色和绿色。
But it picks up more shades of blue, yellow, and grey than humans do.
但它比人类更能识别蓝色、黄色和灰色。
And why do cats give dead birds to their owners?
为什么猫会把死鸟送给它们的主人呢?
When your cat drops a dead bird at your feet, she isn't bringing you a present.
当你的猫把一只死鸟扔到你脚边时，她不会给你带礼物。
Most cats just drag food home because it's a safe place to eat.
大多数猫只是把食物拖回家，因为家是一个安全的进食地方。
A cat's mom also brings home things to her children to help them practice hunting.
猫的妈妈也会带一些东西回家给她的孩子，帮助他们练习打猎。
So, a female cat without children may bring these "treats" to her owner instead.
所以，没有孩子的母猫可能会把这些“零食”送给它的主人。
You may not like them, but at least you don't have to write her a thank-you note.
你可能不喜欢它们，但至少你不用给她写感谢信。
