土耳其设立猫猫纪念雕像.双语
Tombili, the pudgy cat whose relaxing demeanor captured the hearts of fans worldwide, has been honored with a bronze statue in her home city of Istanbul, Turkey.一只名为“Tombili”的小肥猫以其慵懒的姿态赢得了全世界粉丝的心。而在她的家乡土耳其伊斯坦布尔,人们也建了它的青铜像来纪念它。
The cuddly feline — whose name is a Turkish word often used for chubby pets — was a beloved figure in the neighborhood of Ziverbey, the Daily Sabah reports.
据土耳其《沙巴日报》报道,这只惹人喜爱的喵星人是齐沃比街区的吉祥物,它的名字“Tombili”在土耳其语中是胖胖萌宠的常见名字。
"Tombili was a freely living cat, like most cats in Turkey," Batu Aksoy, one of the founders of the Anatolian Cat Project, told The Huffington Post in a Facebook message. "The community took care of her." While some media reports refer to Tombili as a "he," Aksoy said she was a female.
“Tombili是一只慵懒生活的猫,就像土耳其的大多数猫一样。”“安纳托利亚猫咪工程”创始人之一巴图·阿克索伊通过脸书网信息告诉《赫芬顿邮报》,“全社会都在照顾她。”虽然有些媒体说Tombili是一只公猫,阿克索伊说她是一只母猫。
Tombili shot to online fame after someone snapped a photo of her reclining outside. It's unclear when she became known outside of her local neighborhood, but the photo appears at the top of a 9Gag post from February 2015.
Tombili因为一张慵懒倚在人行道上看风景的照片而在网络爆红。虽然不知道照片是不是在她所在的街区拍的,不过这张照片依然在2015年2月在9Gag图片网站上登顶。
When she died in August after an illness, someone put up a poster in the neighborhood as a tribute. But a cat as awesome as Tombili deserved more than just a poster.
在她8月份因病离世之后,有人在她生前所在的街区贴上海报作为纪念。但是像Tombili这样可爱的猫咪,理应得到比一张海报更多的纪念。
The Anatolian Cat Project — an educational community for cat lovers — launched a petition asking that the neighborhood have a statue erected to commemorate the popular feline. Artist Sevalahin stepped up to the challenge, and the bronze sculpture was unveiled on Tuesday — World Animal Day.
“安纳托利亚猫咪工程”是一个爱猫人的教育社区,他们发起了一项请愿,希望这个街区能够立雕像来纪念这只人气超高的猫咪。艺术家萨瓦尔·萨希因接下了这个挑战,这座青铜像在世界动物保护日揭幕。
Tombili was a "very friendly cat," Aksoy said, which unfortunately may have led to some of her health problems.
阿克索伊说,Tombili是一只“非常亲人的猫咪”,这可能很不幸地导致了她的健康问题。
" neighborhood loved her so much and used to feed her a lot," he added.
“街坊邻居都太喜欢她了,所以喂她吃的东西太多了。”他补充说。
And she seems to have gotten along better with humans than with other lines.
与其他物种比起来,她与人类相处得更好。
"Tombili was very proud cat and did not like spend her time with other cats," Aksoy said. "Because of obesity, she could not move much, so preferred calmly to lie on sidewalk."
“Tombili是一只骄傲的猫咪,不喜欢和别的猫一起玩儿。”阿克索伊说,“因为太胖,她也不怎么能活动,所以她喜欢冷静地在人行道边上趴着。”
Free-roaming cats like Tombili are a common sight in Istanbul, where the city's residents offer food, shelter and care to the resident rodent-killers. The region's love for cats has roots in Islam — the Prophet Mohammad is said to have adored cats, legendarily opting to cut a sleeve off of his robe, rather than disturb his feline companion sleeping on top of it.
像Tombili这样自由漫步的猫咪是伊斯坦布尔一道日常的风景,这里的人们给这些鼠类天敌提供食物和住处。这一地区对猫咪的喜爱源自伊斯兰教的传统——据说先知穆罕默德就很喜欢猫,传说他的爱猫曾经在他长袍的袖子上睡觉,为了不打扰它,穆罕默德把袖子剪掉了。 谢谢屈老师分享!! 祝屈老师周末愉快!
