The idea of sitting down for dinner with a 300lb bear is enough to put most people off their food.
與一只300磅的熊坐在一起共享餐食絕對會使很多人棄盤而逃。

But for one family from?Russia?this wild idea is actually a way of life that extends far beyond sharing the odd meal at the dinner table.?
但是對于來自俄羅斯的一個家庭來說，這個瘋狂的想法遠不只是分享食物那么簡單，而是成為了他們的一種生活方式。

On the surface Svetlana and Yuriy appear like any other ordinary couple, but for their 23-year-old bear named Stepan.
表面上斯維特拉娜和尤里就像其他普通的夫妻一樣，但是對于23歲的棕熊Stepan來說，他們可不尋常。

Russian family Svetlana and Yuriy adopted the very large bear named Stepan aged three months.
來自俄羅斯的斯維特拉娜和尤里夫婦收養(yǎng)了一只三個月大名叫Stepan的大棕熊。

One of the family: Standing at more than seven foot, the large mammal has been domesticated by the couple and is now aged 23.
站起來足足有超過7英尺（2.13米），這只超大的動物已經(jīng)被這對夫婦養(yǎng)到了23歲。

Bear hug: The couple say that because they have known Stepan so long his temperament is extremely gentle and he enjoys giving hugs.
熊抱：這對夫婦說因為他們已經(jīng)認識Stepan很長時間了，因此他的性格極其溫順，而且他很喜歡給人熊抱。

Trust: The couple say the bear is so domesticated he even sits down with them in the evenings to watch television on the sofa.
信任：這對夫婦說這只熊已經(jīng)被馴服了，因此晚上的時候他甚至會和他們坐在沙發(fā)上看電視。

Who's been eating my porridge? The couple said Stepan, who eats a lot of food, gets through more than a bowl of porridge a day.
誰動了我的粥？這對夫婦說，Stepan每天吃好多食物，一天可以吃掉一碗粥。

What's for dessert? The big bear's favourite dish is a can of condensed milk thanks to a sweet tooth, but he also eats fish and vegetables.
吃什么當甜點呢？由于喜歡吃甜食，大熊最喜歡的菜是一罐煉乳，但他也吃魚和蔬菜。

Give us a hand! The bear has even been known to help out around the house - or at least the garden - by watering the plants.
小助手！這個棕熊很樂意在家周圍幫忙做事情，或者至少是在花園周圍-幫忙澆灌植物。

'When we adopted him, he was only three-months-old and had been found by hunters in the forest having lost his mother. He was in a very bad condition.
"當我們收養(yǎng)他的時候，他只有三個月大，在森林里與媽媽失散后被獵人找到了，當時他的情況很糟糕。

'He absolutely loves people and is a really sociable bear - despite what people might think, he is not aggressive at all. We have never been bitten by Stepan.
"他絕對很喜歡人類，而且是一只交際熊，不管別人怎么看他，他絕對沒有攻擊性。我們也從來沒有被他咬傷過。
