雙語美文賞析：愛讓天敵變成朋友

　　愛讓天敵變成朋友

　　What happens when you put five cute, little innocent piglets into a tiger’s den? Most would guess that the tiger would be looking at its next meal.

　　把五只天真可愛的小豬放入老虎窩里會發(fā)生什么事呢？多數(shù)人可能會猜測：老虎會把小豬當(dāng)作美味的大餐。

　　At a zoo in California, a tiger gave birth to three cubs. As this was a very rare event, everyone at the zoo was very excited. Unfortunately the excitement didn’t last long; the cubs were premature and died shortly after birth.

　　在美國加州的一個動物園里，有一只老虎生下了三只幼虎，由于這種情況十分罕見，所以動物園里的每個人都很興奮。不幸的是，大家才高興沒多久，三只幼虎都因為早產(chǎn)，出生后不久就死了。

　　Even though the zoo staff took very good care of the mother tiger, her health started deteriorating very quickly. At first, no one understood why she could not regain her vigor. But when they came to the realization that the mother was yearning for her lost babies, it occurred to them that they could simply replace her cubs! However, even after searching frantically, they were unable to find suitable replacements.

　　動物園的'工作人員非常用心照護老虎媽媽，但她的健康狀況卻迅速惡化。一開始沒有人了解為什么老虎媽媽無法恢復(fù)活力，后來當(dāng)工作人員明白這是因為虎媽媽懷念她逝去的寶寶時，他們想到可以用其它的幼虎來取代她的寶寶。然而工作人員四處拼命尋找，卻找不到合適的替身。

　　Then they thought of another idea, which was to replace the cubs with babies from an entirely different species. So they found a litter of five orphaned piglets. It seemed like it could be a perfect match, but no one knew what the tiger’s reaction would be. Would she see them as prey, or accept them as her own? Then they were enlightened with the creative idea of wrapping the piglets in tiger skins before placing them in the den.

　　接著他們想到另一個點子：用其它不同種的動物寶寶來替代幼虎，因此他們找來了一窩五只失恃的小豬。喪子的母老虎和失恃的小豬似乎是完美的組合，但是沒有人知道虎媽媽會有什么反應(yīng)。虎媽媽會把小豬當(dāng)成獵物呢，還是視如己出？于是工作人員突發(fā)奇想，先幫小豬穿上老虎皮，然后才把它們放進老虎的柵欄里。

　　Everyone held their breath as they placed the unsuspecting piglets in with the mother tiger. But imagine the delight when instead of seeing them as dinner the tiger accepted them as her new baby cubs! These little pigs now have a caring tiger mommy to look after them, and the mother tiger has a way to share her love.

　　當(dāng)工作人員把這些毫無戒心的變裝小豬與虎媽媽放在一起時，大家都屏息以待。結(jié)果虎媽媽并沒有把小豬視為晚餐，反而把它們當(dāng)作她的新生小寶寶，虎媽媽的喜悅令人料想不到！現(xiàn)在這些小豬有一個充滿愛心的老虎媽媽照顧顧它們，而虎媽媽也有了抒發(fā)母愛的對象了。
