Q168

来源：新东方在线

Some children have a little pet cat--but Braxton West-Smith has an African lion cub called Zimbi to play with. The three-year-old trainee lion tamer is of the latest generation to join Australia's family-run Stardust Circus.
　　一些小孩子养有猫咪作为自己的宠物，但是布拉克斯顿-韦斯特-史密斯的玩伴却是一只名叫赞比的非洲狮幼崽。这个3岁的见习驯狮员是澳大利亚家族式马戏团“星尘马戏团”最新一代的接班人。
　　Baby animals are treated little different from baby humans by the circus. Zimbi shares breakfast and playtime with his young human handler; they train together and, at the end of a long, tiring day, Zimbi has his own armchair to relax in.
　　在这个马戏团中，动物幼崽的待遇与人类婴孩的待遇几无二致。赞比和它的小主人一同享用早餐，一起玩耍。他们一起训练，在经过漫长而疲惫的一天后，赞比可以躺在自己的扶手椅上休息。

　Little Braxton wants to follow in the footsteps of his forebears. “When I grow up, I think I'll train the goats,” he said. “I want to be just like Dad.” Braxton's father trains most of the animals at Stardust Circus. His mother performs with the ponies.
　　小布拉克斯顿希望能够沿着祖辈的脚步走下去。他说：“等我长大了，我想我会驯山羊。我想跟我爸爸一样。”星尘马戏团的大部分动物都由布拉克斯顿的父亲负责驯练，而他的母亲则跟小马一起表演。
