Fight for the world’s cutest dog 爆红网络萌狗引发情侣诉讼大战 A cute dog called Sammy is at the centre of a [w]lawsuit[/w] . An [w]American[/w] man named Scott Smith used his dog to [w]create[/w] a blog called “Sammy and the City” last year. He and his [w]ex-girlfriend[/w] Anna Camara put photos and videos of Sammy at different [w]landmark[/w]s in New York. Because of the blog, Sammy has many fans. But now, Scott is [w]suing[/w] Anna for “stealing” the [w]website[/w]. She said that the website was hers. She even changed[w=password]passwords[/w] so that Scott couldn’t add new photos or videos of Sammy to the blog. We hope everything will be settled [w]down[/w] (平息) soon. We want to see more funny photos and videos of Sammy.  您可能还喜欢： >>《上海学生英文报》专题 >>《上海学生英文报》官方网站 >>《上海学生英文报》新浪微博 >>   沪江中小学新浪微博 严肃声明：本系列文章由《上海学生英文报》独家授权，报社地址：上海市闵行区都市路4855号2座708室，电话：021-24175764，如无授权，请勿转载

[en]The Two-Faced Cat Venus[/en][cn]双面奇猫“维纳斯”[/cn] [en]the two-faced cat is currently the most famous [w]feline[/w](猫) on the planet. [/en][cn]这只双面猫是最近地球上最红的猫。[/cn] [en]The three-year-old [w]tortoiseshell[/w] (花斑家猫) has her own Facebook page and a YouTube video that’s been viewed over a million times. Take a look at this cat and you can understand why: One half is solid black with a green eye—the other half has typical orange [w]tabby[/w] (虎斑的) [w]stripes[/w] and a blue eye.[/en][cn]这只三岁的花斑猫有它自己的脸书主页和youtube视频，点击次数超过百万。看一看这只猫你就会明白它为什么这么受欢迎了。它的脸一边是纯黑色的，有一直绿色的眼睛，一边是典型的橙色虎斑纹和一只蓝色的眼睛。[/cn] [en]How does a cat end up looking like that? Leslie Lyons, a professor at the University of California, who studies the [w]genetics[/w] of [w]domestic[/w] cats, said she’d never seen a cat exactly like Venus.[/en][cn]一只猫怎么能长成这样呢？美国加州大学教授莱斯利·莱奥斯，研究过家猫的遗传学。她说从没有看过一只猫长的那么像维纳斯。[/cn] [en]Is Venus a [w]Chimera[/w]?[/en][cn]维纳斯是一个神话传说吗？[/cn] [en]Many reports about Venus refer to the cat as a “Chimera.” In [w]mythology[/w], a chimera is a monster made up of parts of different animals. A feline chimera is a cat whose cells contain two types of DNA, caused when two [w]embryos[/w] (胚胎) [w]fuse[/w] together.[/en][cn]很多传闻中的维纳斯是指像奇美拉一样的猫。在神话中，奇美拉是由不同的动物的不同部分组成的怪物。猫科奇美拉是细胞中包含两部分基因的猫，是由于两个胚胎融合在一起造成的。[/cn] [en]Among cats, chimeras are really not all that rare. In fact, most male tortoiseshell cats are chimeras. The [w]distinctively[/w] mixed orange and black coat is a sign that the cat has an extra X [w]chromosome[/w] (染色体). But female cats already have two X chromosomes so they can own that coat without the extra X, which means Venus is not necessarily a chimera.[/en][cn]在猫科动物中，嵌合体不是那么少见的，实际上大部分的雄性花斑猫都是嵌合体。独特的橙色和黑色皮毛是一个标志，表明这只猫有一个额外的X染色体。但雌猫已经有两条X染色体，因此它们即使没有额外的X染色体也能有这样的皮毛，也就是说，双面猫不一定是嵌合体。[/cn] [en]Cat’s Blue Eye another [w]Mystery[/w][/en][cn]猫的蓝眼睛是另一个谜。[/cn] [en]Cat [w]fanciers[/w] who are amazed by Venus’ split face may be missing the real story: her single blue eye. Cat eyes are typically green or yellow, not blue. A blue-eyed cat is typically a [w]Siamese[/w] (暹罗猫) or else a cat with a lot of white fur on them. Venus appears to have only a white patch on her chest, which is not enough to explain the blue eye. “She is a bit of a mystery,” said Lyons.[/en][cn]被维纳斯的双面脸震惊的爱猫人士们，可能会忽略一个事实--她的一只蓝眼睛。典型猫眼是绿色或黄色，而不是蓝色。一只蓝眼睛的猫是一只典型的暹罗猫，或者这只猫身上应该有许多白毛。而维纳斯显然只有在它胸口有一撮白毛，这就不足以解释为什么它有一只蓝眼睛。莱昂斯说：“它很神秘。”[/cn] Question what color of Venus's left eye?

一张搞笑的宝宝护照照片在网上走红，得到网友共鸣。 [en]Baby Passport Photo Goes Viral[/en][cn]宝宝护照照片走红[/cn] We know how you feel, young traveler. Welcome to the club. When a father posted his five-month-old son’s passport photo online two weeks ago, the boy seemed to tap into a universal [w]loathing[/w] of passport photos, which, as every traveler knows, always seem to [w]capture[/w] you at your most [w]awkward[/w] and unattractive.  “My wife took our five-month-old son to get his first passport photos taken—NAILED IT!” The father, who went by the username of “JorgeChurano,” wrote it as the [w]caption[/w] for the picture, which shows the baby with his mouth open and one of his eyes closed sleepily. “The outtakes were just too funny to keep to ourselves,” the father said. The equally cute and funny image has received more than 110,000 views so far. Contributing to that is many people’s shared hatred towards passport photos. No matter where you get your passport photo taken, the resulting image seems to terrify travelers everywhere, with many [w]venting[/w] online about looking old or ugly. The “I hate my passport photo” Facebook page, for example, has 159,000 “likes.” You’ll also find plenty of complaints on travel forums. “I looked like a very happy pig. I was smiling so big and wide, my cheeks looked huge and for some reason my face looked really round that day,” a poster wrote.  您可能还喜欢： >>《上海学生英文报》专题 >>《上海学生英文报》官方网站 >>《上海学生英文报》新浪微博 严肃声明：本系列文章由《上海学生英文报》独家授权，报社地址：上海市闵行区都市路4855号2座708室，电话：021-24175764，如无授权，请勿转载
