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.
大猩猩可可因其学会了大量改编版的美式手语而出名。但是人们不知道的是她很喜爱宝宝,尽管她没有机会拥有自己的孩子。

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.
她经常作出“宝宝”的手势,怀里抱着猩猩娃娃,甚至摇晃着娃娃的手臂和手掌,假装娃娃也可以作出手势来。因此,为了庆祝可可44岁的生日,她的训练员弗兰辛·帕特森把一些其它的宝宝介绍给可可认识——一窝小猫咪。

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.
虽然可可的手掌就有小猫咪这么大了,但她对这些小毛球们很温柔,在它们进到纸盒子里的时候,可可会很小心伸出一只手指来去抚摸它们。

Koko was filmed being presented with a cardboard box containing the kittens, and taking a peek inside it.
可可在一个装满小猫咪的纸盒旁边,往盒子里偷瞄一眼。这一景象被拍下来了。

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.
猩猩可可把小猫放到自己眼前,近距离看着它,之后,可可用食指轻挠着猫咪的肚子,把它放在自己的手臂下给它一个抱抱。

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,视频中另外一只小猫咪用了吃奶的劲儿想从袋子中出来,想依偎在这只大猩猩旁边。这个视频中,可可作手势想把其中的一只猫咪放在脑袋上,然后又作出手势表示这些小动物是自己的宝宝。

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.
这个很有爱的视频通过“可可飞”的帐户上传到优酷视频上,进一步证明了可可的“最大愿望”——想要有自己的孩子。随着视屏发布的信息称,猩猩可可和这两只小猫咪现在组成了一个幸福快乐的家庭。
