寵物 Pets

我 係 嘉瑩 ， 我 今日 就 六 歲 生日 喇 ！ ||Jia Ying||||||| I'm Kay Ying, and it's my 6th birthday today! 媽咪 好 錫 我 ， 幫 我 搞 咗 個 生日 派對 。 ||love||||organize||||party Mom was so kind to help me with my birthday party. 媽咪 準備 咗 好多 嘢食 ， 仲 有 一 個 好 大 嘅 生日 蛋糕 。 |prepared|||food|||||||||birthday cake 我 邀請 咗 好多 同學 同 我 一齊 玩 ， 佢哋 都 話 會 嚟 同 我 慶祝 ， 仲 話 會 送 生日 禮物 畀 我 添 ！ |invited|||classmates|with|||||all|say|||||celebrate||||give||gift|||too I invited a lot of my classmates to play with me and they all said they would come to celebrate with me and give me birthday gifts! 唔 知 佢哋 會 送 啲 咩 呢 ？ What will they send? 不過 ， 我 知道 媽咪 會 送 啲 咩 畀 我 做 生日 禮物 － 就 係 我 一直 都 好 想 要 嘅 寵物 ！ |I|||||||give||for||birthday gift||||always||||||pet However, I know what Mommy will give me as a birthday gift - it's the pet I've always wanted! 我 好 鍾意 動物 ， 唔 知 媽咪 會 送 咩 寵物 畀 我 呢 ？ |||||||||||give to|| I really love animals. I wonder what pet Mommy will give me?

如果 係 大笨象 就 好 囉 ， 噉 我 就 可以 騎象 返學 。 ||big elephant|||then|then||||ride an elephant| If it's a big elephant, that would be great, then I can ride the elephant to school. 聽 同學 講 ， 住 屯門 嘅 人 會 騎牛 返學 返工 ， 我 都 想 試 下 。 listen to||||Tuen Mun||||ride a cow||||||| I heard from my classmates that people living in Tuen Mun would ride oxen to school and work, so I would like to try it out. 不過 ， 我 唔係 住 屯門 ， 又 冇 養 牛 ， 所以 未 有 機會 。 |||||again||raise|cow|||| However, I do not live in Tuen Mun and I do not have cows, so I did not have the opportunity. 但 如果 媽咪 送 隻 大笨象 畀 我 ， 我 就 可以 騎 象 返學 喇 ！ ||||||||||can|ride|elephant|go to school| 同學仔 見 到 ， 一定 好 羡慕 我 ！ classmate|||||envy|

但係 ， 大笨象 好似 行 得 好 慢 嗰 喎 ， 會 唔 會 令 我 遲到 呢 ？ ||||||slowly|that|you know||||make||be late| 遲到 嘅話 ， 我 會 畀 老師 罰 …… ||||||punish

噉 不如 騎 犀牛 啦 ！ |||rhino| 犀牛 跑 得 快 ， 肯定 唔怕 會 遲到 。 rhino|||||not afraid|| 但係 佢 嘅 身體 好似 坦克車 咁 硬 ， 跑 起上嚟 可能 會 撞 爛 好多 嘢 ， 會 連累 媽咪 要 賠錢 …… 我 諗 ， 犀牛 都 係 唔 好 。 |||body||tank||||run up|||collide with|break, damage||||involve trouble|||pay money||||||| However, its body is as hard as a tank, and when it runs, it may crash a lot of things, and it will cause mom to pay ...... I think, rhinoceros is not good.

況且 我 屋企 又 唔 夠 大 ， 大笨象 同 犀牛 都 唔 可以 住 喺度 。 besides|||||||||rhinoceros||||| Besides, my house is not big enough for a giant elephant or a rhino to live in. 睇嚟 媽咪 唔會 送 大笨象 或者 犀牛 畀 我 㗎 喇 …… ||||||rhinoceros||||

噉 會 唔 會 係 鱷魚 呢 ？ |||||crocodile| 但係 ， 佢 好似 要 住 喺 多 水 嘅 地方 ， 噉 會 唔 會 霸 住 沖涼房 呢 ？ ||||||||||||||occupy||shower room| However, it seems that she has to live in a place with a lot of water, so will she occupy the shower room? 噉樣 嘅話 ， 我 同 屋企人 都 沖 唔 到 涼 ， 好 唔 乾淨 喎 。 like this|if|I||family||take a shower|||cool|||not clean|you know 我 諗 ， 鱷魚 都 係 唔好 喇 。 要 睇 鱷魚 嘅話 ， 都 係 去 濕地 公園 揾 貝貝 啦 ！ |||||||wetland|||the alligator| If you want to see crocodiles, go to the Wetland Park for shellfish!

唔通 係 箭豬 ？ could it be||porcupine What is the relationship with Porcupine? 佢 又 細 隻 ， 又 唔使 霸 住 浴室 。 |||||doesn't need|||bathroom He's small and doesn't hog the bathroom. 不過 ， 佢 身上 啲 箭 好似 仙人掌 噉 ， 會 拮 到 人 好 痛 。 ||||thorns||cactus|||sting|||| However, the arrows on his body are like cacti, and they will inflict severe pain on him. 萬一 我 唔小心 掂 到 佢 ， 可能 會 畀 佢 拮 傷 ， 好 危險 。 in case||accidentally|hit|||||||pinch|injure||very dangerous In case I accidentally hit her, I may give her an antagonistic wound, which is very dangerous. 我 諗 ， 箭豬 都 係 唔 適合 做 寵物 。 ||porcupine||||not suitable||

點 都 好 ， 希望 媽咪 唔好 送 臭 鼬鼠 畀 我 啦 —— 因為 佢哋 真係 好 臭 啊 ！ |at all|good|||||smelly|ferret||||||||smelly| Well, I hope Mommy doesn't give me a stinky weasel -- because they're really stinky! 不過 ， 媽咪 都 好 怕 臭味 ， 所以 佢 應該 唔會 送 臭鼬 鼠 嘅 ！ |||||smell||||||skunk|skunk| However, mom is afraid of the stench, so she should not give the skunk away!

仲 有 我 最 驚 嘅 獅子 ！ ||||scared||lion And my favorite lion! 雖然 佢哋 有 個 好 型 嘅 花名 － 「 萬 獸 之 王 」 ， 不過 佢哋 好 兇猛 ， 我 唔敢 行近 佢哋 。 although||have|||cool||nickname|king of beasts|beast|of|king||||fierce||don't dare|approach| Although they have a very stylish nickname - "King of the Beasts", they are so fierce that I don't dare approach them. 而且 ， 獅子 係 肉食 性 動物 ， 萬一 我 唔記得 餵 飽 佢哋 ， 後果 好 難 想像 ...... and|||carnivorous|carnivorous nature||in case|||feed|full||consequences|||imagine Besides, lions are carnivorous animals, so if I don't remember to feed them, it's hard to imagine the consequences. ......

題外話 ： 雖然 我 唔敢 接近 獅子 ， 不過 就 好 鍾意 行 獅子山 。 by the way|although||dare|approach|Lion||||like||Lion Rock I don't dare to get close to the lions, but I love walking on the Lion Rock.

噉 唔通 係 蛇 ? 我 記得 媽咪 話 過 ， 隻 寵物 會 成日 抱住 我 —— 蛇 就 係 會 成日 圍 住 啲 嘢 ， 好似 抱住 佢哋 噉 。 |||snake||||||||||hugging|||||||wrap|||||||like this What about snakes? I remember my mom saying that a pet would hug me all the time -- snakes would be around things all the time, like they were hugging them. 但係 ， 我 怕 條 蛇 會 圍 得 太 大力 ， 圍 到 我 抖 唔 到 氣 …… 同埋 ， 如果 佢 啲 牙 有 毒 ， 可能 會 令 我 受傷 。 But||||||wrap||||wrap|||tremble|||breathe|||||fangs||poison|||make||injured However, I am afraid that the snake will encircle me so vigorously that I will not be able to shake ...... Also, if its teeth are poisonous, I may be injured.

數 嚟 數 去 ， 好似 咩 動物 都 唔 啱 我 。 count|||||||||| Counting and counting, it seems that no animal suits me. 究竟 ， 媽咪 會 送 咩 動物 畀 我 呢 ？ exactly||||||||

「 汪 － 汪 － 汪 － 」 woof||

咦 ！ Oh! 呢啲 吠聲 ， 唔通 我 嘅 寵物 係 …… |barking|can't be||||

係 狗仔 ！ |puppy 係 一 隻 好 可愛 嘅 黑白 斑點狗 啊 ！ ||||cute||black and white|dalmatian| 雖然 佢 唔 可以 送 我 返學 ， 但 佢 可以 陪 我 一齊 玩 ！ Although she cannot send me to school, she can play with me! 而且 佢 細細 隻 ， 可以 住 喺 我 屋企 。 仲有 ， 佢 唔會 傷害 我 ！ |||hurt| 媽咪 話 佢 叫 皮皮 ， 叫 我 以後 要 多 啲 同 皮皮 一齊 玩 。 ||||Pipi|||||||||| Mom called her Pippi and told me to play with Pippi more often in the future.

就 係 噉 ， 我 日日 同 皮皮 一齊 走嚟走去 ， 每 一 日 都 好 開心 。 ||||||||walking around|||||| That's why I walked around with Pippi every day, and I was so happy every day. 我 愛 皮皮 ！
