55、(雙語科普)學英語,看世界:“威爾士柯基”

Welsh Corgi

威爾士柯基

Cuteness could and should be measured in units of Corgi puppies, because, well, look at them.

可愛度可以而且應該以柯基幼犬爲單位來衡量,因爲,好吧,看看它們。

Welsh for dwarfed(矮小的) dog, Corgis come in two equally adorable variations: the Pembroke and the Cardigan.

Corgi(柯基)在威爾士語中表示矮小的狗,柯基犬有兩個同樣可愛的變種:彭布羅克犬和卡迪根犬。

While the slightly larger and more colorful Cardigans is not without its fans, it's the Pembroke that tends to win the popular vote.

卡迪根犬稍大,顏色更豐富些,它們並非沒有粉絲,但彭布羅克犬往往贏得了大衆的投票。

The Pembroke has been a favorite of Queen Elizabeth II since she received a Corgi named Susan for her eighteenth birthday.

自從英國女王伊麗莎白二世在18歲生日時收到一條名叫蘇珊的威爾士矮腳狗,這條彭布羅克犬就一直是她的最愛。

In addition to being cute as a button from birth right through their golden years(退休時期), the breed is a subject of rather endearing folklore(民間傳說).

除了從出生到它們的退休時期都十分可愛之外,威爾士矮腳狗還是一個相當可愛的民間傳說的主題。

According to legend, Corgis were the traditional steeds of woodland fairies, and were eventually introduced to humans as a gift.

據傳說,威爾士矮腳狗是山林仙女傳統的坐騎,最終作爲禮物被引入人間。
