This is the story of a donkey named Jellybean and a goat named Mr. G. For ten years they lived together on a farm owned by a woman who loved animals but could barely care for herself. She had dozens of animals, but the living conditions for all of them were deplorable. Finally, an animal rescue organization came and took the animals away, relocating them to animal sanctuaries.
这是一个关于一头名叫Jellybean的驴和一只名叫Mr. G的羊的故事,它们在农场里共同生活了十年,农场的主人是一位喜欢动物但照顾不好的女人。她有几十只动物,生活条件都很糟糕。最后,一个动物救援组织来了,带走了这些动物,将它们转移到动物庇护所。
Throughout their years at the farm, Jellybean and Mr.G had been inseparable. Wherever the donkey was, the goat was never far away. For some reason, they had bonded, and nobody suspected how strong the bond had become.
在农场的这些年里,Jellybean 和Mr.G一直形影不离。驴在哪,羊就在哪。由于某些原因,它们之间有了联系,没有人怀疑这种联系有多牢固。
When Jellybean was taken to a local animal rescue center, Mr.G was moved to a center far away. When he arrived, he refused to eat. Not only did he refuse to eat, but he refused to get up or move around. He spent his days lying in a corner of the barn, barely lifting his head. The staff at the center tried feeding him treats, including apples and sweets, but nothing worked.
Jellybean 被带到当地的动物救助中心,而Mr.G被转移到了很远的一家中心。当它来到这儿时,拒绝吃东西,不仅不吃,而且拒绝起来走动。它整天躺在谷仓的角落里,几乎从不抬头。中心的工作人员试着喂它食物,包括苹果和糖果,但一点用也没有。
As the days went by, he continued to weaken. The staff had to move him physically to ensure he didn't spend too long lying down. Worried that he was ill, they gave him a series of health examinations, but none showed anything wrong. Finally, they realized that he was depressed and mourning the loss of his best friend.
日子一天天过去,羊的身体越来越弱,为了让它不要一直躺着,工作人员不得不人工将它挪动。他们担心羊病了,给它做了一系列健康检查,但没有发现任何问题。最后,他们认识到,它的沮丧和悲痛是因为失去了最好的朋友。
With his condition getting worse, drastic measures were required. A volunteer at the center offered to make the 14-hour round-trip journey to fetch Jellybean so the two could be reunited.
情况越来越糟,需要采取严厉措施。中心的一名志愿者主动提出,要愿意往返14小时带回Jellybean ,这样它们才能团聚。
Once Jellybean arrived and the goat sensed his presence, he rose to his feet, breathed in deeply and rushed to his friend's side. Shortly after that, he began to eat, moving the entire staff to tears. Such a beautiful reunion was inspiring - an amazing testimonial to the depth of nonhuman emotions.
Jellybean 到了,羊立刻感觉到了它的存在,羊站了起来,深呼吸,冲到它朋友的身边。不久,开始吃东西,所有员工都感动哭了。如此美丽的重逢令人振奋——这是对非人类情感深度的一个令人惊叹的证明。
Since the video of the reunion was posted on the Internet, it has been viewed by millions. And from now on, the two friends will remain together.
自从这段重聚的视频在网上发布以来,已经有数百万人观看了它。从现在起,这两位朋友又将继续在生活一起。
