Finding a date for Prom can be a stressful experience for many. Just ask Sam Steingard. 
对许多人来说，找一个毕业舞会的伴儿可能是一次压力满满的体验。那正好问问Sam Steingard吧！

With the big date drawing ever nearer, the 18-year-old singleton from The States still hadn’t found a girl to take. So instead of going alone or refusing to go at all, he did what any rational and sound-minded person would do in such a situation. He took Ruby, his cat.
有史以来最重要的日子临近，这位单身的18岁美国小伙还没找到和他一起参加舞会的女孩儿。所以，与其独自去参加或是根本不去参加，他做了所有理性且头脑健全的人在这样的情况下都会做的事：他带着他的猫鲁比一起去了。

Ok, so he didn’t take his cat to the actual dance (as it might have been too stressful for her) but he did at least pose for some prom photos with her. Sam’s sister Caroline brought the picture to the world’s attention by posting the snap of the happy couple on Imgur (I’m sure Sam appreciated that!) and Sam and Ruby have since become internet superstars. They might not have gone to prom together but they still make a pretty cute couple!
好吧，所以他没有带着他的猫咪去真正的舞会（因为这对她来说可能太有压力了），但是他至少摆好了姿势，拍了一些和她在一起的毕业舞会照片。山姆的妹妹卡洛琳把这对幸福搭档的照片贴到了Imgur上，引起了大家的注意（我确定山姆会感激的！），而山姆和鲁比后来就成了网络超级明星。他们可能没有一起去参加毕业舞会，但他们依然是一对很可爱的搭档！
