BBC Learning English - Dangerous Dogs 凶猛的宠物狗

　　Jean: Savaged to death by a dog – 被狗乱咬致死。

　　Andrea: People were leaving flowers and teddy bears or teddies outside the pub where the baby was killed.

　　Jean: 在英国，越来越多的人在家里养狗已经不养那种天性驯良可爱的宠物狗了，而是选择像罗维纳和比特犬这样相当凶猛的狗种类养在家里看门护院。

　　Andrea: It is especially popular among young people.

　　- My friend had one – he got in a fight one time, the dog helped him chase the guy and that’s when I said, “Yeah I need one of these.”

　　Jean: 这些年轻人认为家里养条恶犬是件很酷的事情。

　　Andrea: The first boy said that a dog is like a legal weapon.

　　Jean: A legal weapon – 一件合法的武器。

　　Andrea: They can do as much damage as a firearm.

　　Jean: 某些恶犬确实比枪械更具杀伤力。而刚才听到的另一个男孩子说他看到一个朋友的狗追扑别人的时候觉得挺佩服。

　　Andrea: This boy got into a fight with someone and the dog helped him chase them away.

　　Jean: 当然绝大多数人还是不赞成家里养这种恶犬的，尤其那些已经伤过人的恶犬。

　　Andrea: When 5-month old Kady Lee was killed by a dog last year, people were very upset.
