God Made A Dog
上帝創(chuàng)造了狗

And on the ninth day God looked down on his wide eyed children and said "they need a companion". So God made a dog.
第九天,上帝俯瞰著自己創(chuàng)造出的那些天真的孩子們說:“他們需要一個(gè)同伴?!庇谑?,上帝創(chuàng)造了狗。

God said: "I need somebody willing to wake up, give kisses, pee on a tree, sleep all day, wake up again give more kisses. Then stay up until midnight basking in the glow of the television set." So God made a dog.
上帝說:“我需要它早上醒來,給人送上親吻,在樹下撒泡尿,睡上一整天,醒來后繼續(xù)送上更多的吻。晚上人們看電視時(shí),它就心滿意足地陪在一旁,直到深夜才睡去?!庇谑?,上帝創(chuàng)造了狗。

God said: "I need somebody willing to sit, then stay, then roll over, then with no ego or complaint dress in hats they don't need and costumes they don't understand. I need somebody who can break wind without a first care or a second thought. Who can chase tails, sniff crotches, fetch sticks and lift spirits with a lick. Somebody who no matter what you didn't do or couldn't take or didn't win or couldn't make will love you without judgement just the same." So God made a dog.
上帝說:“我需要它愿意遵從人的命令,坐下、不動(dòng)、或打滾,無私無怨地讓人們給自己戴上毫無必要的帽子、穿上無法理解的服裝。我需要它對(duì)放屁這種事不在意也不猶豫,它會(huì)追著尾巴轉(zhuǎn)圈、嗅嗅褲襠、撿回木棍,舔舐人來給人打氣。無論你沒做什么,無論你扛不住、贏不了或做不成什么,它包容你的一切,它對(duì)你的愛始終如一。”于是,上帝創(chuàng)造了狗。

God said: "I need somebody strong enough to pull sleds and find bombs, yet gentle enough to love babies and lead the blind. Somebody who will spend all day on a couch with a resting head and supportive eyes to lift the spirits of a broken heart." So God made a dog.
上帝說:“我需要它足夠強(qiáng)大,可以拉動(dòng)雪橇、搜尋炸彈;也要足夠溫柔,可以愛護(hù)寶寶、引導(dǎo)盲人。我需要它可以一整天枕著頭趴在沙發(fā)上,用鼓舞的目光凝視著,使心靈受傷的人重新振作精神。”于是,上帝創(chuàng)造了狗。

It had to be somebody who'd remain patient and loyal even through loneliness.
即使它總要忍受孤獨(dú)寂寞,它依然對(duì)人保持耐心和忠誠。

Somebody to care and cuddle, snuggle and nuzzle, and cheer and charm, and snore and slobber, and eat the trash, and chase the squirrels.
它關(guān)懷著人它喜歡擁抱,它依偎著人它蹭來蹭去,它會(huì)為人歡呼也會(huì)讓人快樂,它會(huì)打呼嚕也會(huì)流口水,它時(shí)而吃地上的垃圾時(shí)而追著松鼠跑。

Somebody who would bring a family together with the selflessness of an open heart.
它有一顆無私坦蕩的心,它讓一家人變得親密無間。

Somebody who would bark and then pant and then reply with rapid wag of tail when their best friend says - let's go for a ride in the car.
當(dāng)它最好的朋友說:“走,我們開車兜風(fēng)去?!彼鼤?huì)叫著喘著,用不停地?fù)u尾巴作為回應(yīng)。

So God made a dog.
于是,上帝創(chuàng)造了狗。

注:《圣經(jīng)·創(chuàng)世紀(jì)》中說,上帝用7天創(chuàng)造了世界(前6天造物,最后1天休息);而在今年的超級(jí)碗期間,道奇推出了一則名為"Farmer"的廣告,開頭說第8天上帝創(chuàng)造了農(nóng)民。"God Made A Dog"就是借鑒了道奇的廣告,所以便接下去說第9天上帝創(chuàng)造了狗。
