Koko the gorilla is famous for having learned a large number of hand signs from a modified version of American Sign Language. But less well known is the fact that she absolutely loves babies - despite not having had the opportunity to have any of her own.
大猩猩可可因其學(xué)會了大量改編版的美式手語而出名。但是人們不知道的是她很喜愛寶寶,盡管她沒有機(jī)會擁有自己的孩子。

She often signs the word ‘baby’, carries gorilla dolls in her arms, and even pretends that her dolls can sign by moving their arms and hands. So in celebration of the ape's 44th birthday, her trainer Francine Patterson introduced her to some other babies - a litter of kittens.
她經(jīng)常作出“寶寶”的手勢,懷里抱著猩猩娃娃,甚至搖晃著娃娃的手臂和手掌,假裝娃娃也可以作出手勢來。因此,為了慶??煽?4歲的生日,她的訓(xùn)練員弗蘭辛·帕特森把一些其它的寶寶介紹給可可認(rèn)識——一窩小貓咪。

Despite her huge hands being the size of the young cats, Koko was gentle with the tiny balls of fluff when they arrived in a cardboard box, carefully flicking a finger out to stroke them.
雖然可可的手掌就有小貓咪這么大了,但她對這些小毛球們很溫柔,在它們進(jìn)到紙盒子里的時候,可可會很小心伸出一只手指來去撫摸它們。

Koko was filmed being presented with a cardboard box containing the kittens, and taking a peek inside it.
可可在一個裝滿小貓咪的紙盒旁邊,往盒子里偷瞄一眼。這一景象被拍下來了。

After bringing the cat up to her face to take a closer look, the gorilla strokes its belly with her index finger before tucking it under her arm for a cuddle.
猩猩可可把小貓放到自己眼前,近距離看著它,之后,可可用食指輕撓著貓咪的肚子,把它放在自己的手臂下給它一個抱抱。

Later, another little kitten is filmed desperately trying to get out of an animal carrier bag in order to snuggle up to the great ape. The clip concludes with Koko gesturing for one of the cats to be placed on her head before later signing that the animals are her babies.
之后,視頻中另外一只小貓咪用了吃奶的勁兒想從袋子中出來,想依偎在這只大猩猩旁邊。這個視頻中,可可作手勢想把其中的一只貓咪放在腦袋上,然后又作出手勢表示這些小動物是自己的寶寶。

The adorable video was posted to YouTube via the kokoflix account and is further evidence of Koko's 'greatest wish' - to have a baby of her own. Information provided alongside the video states that the gorilla and two of the kittens are now part of one happy family.
這個很有愛的視頻通過“可可飛”的帳戶上傳到優(yōu)酷視頻上,進(jìn)一步證明了可可的“最大愿望”——想要有自己的孩子。隨著視屏發(fā)布的信息稱,猩猩可可和這兩只小貓咪現(xiàn)在組成了一個幸??鞓返募彝?。
