老外在中國:忠犬相伴

By David Blair

The first time I saw Feifei she was chasing a motorcycle.
第一次見菲菲,她正在追一輛摩托車。

My China Daily colleague, Greg Fountain, was chasing her. And, his adult dog was looking on skeptically at the antics of the crazy three-month-old puppy.
我在《中國日報》的同事格雷格正在追她,他的大狗滿眼疑惑的看著這只3個月大的小奶狗撒歡耍瘋。

Feifei and her litter mates had been left in a trash box on a sidewalk in the Sanlitun area of Beijing. Some kind people rescued them, then Greg and his lovely bride, Maria, volunteered to be foster parents until they could find her a permanent family.
菲菲和同窩小崽被遺棄在北京三里屯路邊的一個垃圾箱里。他們被善良的人救助,格雷格和他美麗的妻子瑪利亞在找到收容他們的家庭前,自愿撫養他們。

I took Feifei home that afternoon and sent a Wechat message to my Chinese wife that I had a surprise waiting for her. She probably thought I meant good food, or flowers. She had never had a dog before and was a bit afraid of them.
把菲菲帶回家那天下午,我發了一條微信給我的中國媳婦兒,說有個驚喜給她。她覺得我可能準備了一頓豐盛的晚餐或是一捧玫瑰。她從沒養過狗,還有點害怕狗狗。

I’m sure that she initially agreed that we could keep Feifei just because I had been badly missing having a dog. I had to go on a four-day reporting trip the first week after Feifei moved in. My wife would call frequently and say, “She’s barking. What does she want?!!!” Now, a month later, I hear her whispering, “I love you, little girl.”
我確信,她一開始同意把菲菲留下來,只是因為我實在太想養狗了。菲菲搬來的第一周,我有個報道任務要出差四天。我老婆一開始總是抱怨,“她又在叫!她到底想干什么!”一個月過去了,我聽到她柔聲細語對著菲菲說:“我愛你,小寶貝。”

I’ve found that Chinese culture and American culture is usually not that different. In many aspects, I think Chinese culture is better. But, I have to say, with respect to dogs, Americans have it right. It saddens me to see small kids shying away in fear from a five-kilogram puppy. In the US, they would run up and give her a hug.
我發現,中美文化沒那么大差異。很多方面,我覺得中國文化更棒。但我必須要說,在尊重狗狗方面,美國人更勝一籌。中國小朋友看到10斤的小狗都嚇得直往后躲,這讓我挺難受的。在美國,孩子們會沖上去,給她一個大大的擁抱。

On the other hand, this attitude is changing. I walk Feifei every morning in the great park by the Yuan dynasty (1271-1378) walls, where many people walk dogs. Feifei craves her morning play-dates when she can romp with other dogs.
但是,這種態度正在改變。我每天早上都帶菲菲去元大都公園,好多人都在那兒遛狗。菲菲特別期待每天早上和小伙伴們打鬧的時光。

Growing up, my big collie named Lad was my best friend. I can’t imagine going through the difficult middle-school years without him.
牧羊犬Lad是我孩童時期最好的朋友。如果沒有它,我無法想象該怎么度過那艱苦的中學時代。

A 2017 paper in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health concluded: “The review found evidence for a wide range of emotional health benefits from childhood pet ownership; particularly for self-esteem and loneliness.” It also concluded: “Studies also showed evidence of an association between pet ownership and educational and cognitive benefits; for example, in perspective-taking abilities and intellectual development.”
2017年《國際環境研究與公共衛生雜志》的一篇文章稱,“研究證明,童年有寵物陪伴對情感健康有諸多好處,特別是對自負和孤獨。”還稱:“有證據表明,寵物對教育和認知也有好處;例如,有助于培養換位思考能力和智力發展。”

Young children with dogs were found to learn language faster, read better, and have larger vocabularies. Adolescents with dogs are more emotionally stable and self-confident.
幼兒有狗狗的陪伴,學語言會更快,閱讀能力更強,詞匯量更大。而有狗狗陪伴的青少年,感情會更穩定,人也更自信。

In other words, if you want your child to do well on the gaokao, and in life, get a dog.
換句話說,如果想讓你的孩子高考取得好成績,成為人生贏家,那么趕快養只狗吧。

Dogs are not just for the kids. A report in the journal Psychology Today concluded that when a person petted a dog “blood pressure lowered, heart rate slowed, breathing became more regular and muscle tension relaxed--all of which are signs of reduced stress.” The American Journal of Cardiology found that pet owners have a significantly higher survival rate after having a heart attack than people who don’t own pets. For older people, “the likelihood that the non-pet owners would end up being diagnosed as clinically depressed was four times higher than that found in the pet-owning people of the same age.” Elderly dog owners “required fewer medical services and were much more satisfied with their lives.”
養狗不僅對孩子有好處。《今日心理學》的一篇報告指出,“當人撫摸狗狗時,血壓會降低,心率會減慢,呼吸變得更規則,肌肉也會放松下來——所有跡象都表明你處于減壓狀態。”《美國心臟病學雜志》發現,在得了心臟病后,養寵物的人比不養寵物的人存活率明顯高很多。對老年人來說,“不養寵物的人被診斷為臨床抑郁癥的可能性是同齡養寵物人的四倍”,養狗的老年人的醫療需求更少,對自己的生活更滿意。

My wife says I smile a lot more since we got Feifei. The scientific evidence says she’s right about that.
我媳婦兒說自從有了菲菲,我笑的都多了。科學證明她說的是對的。
