An Amazing Dog

篇章翻译

Dogs need 4 legs to walk…or do they? Well most of them do, but a dog named Faith was born with deformities with only two hind legs. This story can be traced back to 12 years ago. Faith was born without front legs, and even its mother treated it as a “monster” and refused to feed it. Later, its former owner thought it was impossible for the dog to survive and abandoned it. Fortunately, a kind little girl in the neighborhood found the dying dog and began to take care of it with sympathy and affection. After months of good care, the poor dog not only miraculously survived, but also learned to walk upright with the only two remaining hind legs. The girl gave it a pleasant name-Faith. Soon the story of a dog with only two legs spread near and afar, and her picture appear on many newspapers. Faith has become a star and her owner has started the Little Faith Foundation and they Travel along with her pet, spreading their faith and God’s love to as many as they can.

At the end of 2008, the dog became a cover star of People Weekly, a famous magazine in America. And that never happened before.

Even the serious Washington Post made such a vivid description of the dog, “It Is a power that falls upon the blundering America; It is a road lamp that guides surely and cheerfully right before the lost; it is a happiness that hides tears and sorrows only to play smiles and songs. Its name is Faith. A dog has only two legs and can be able to walk upright like human. ”

The kindness and consideration in Faith’s eyes are similar as that of mothers’. It often plays racing games with children, and also brought joys to the old and lonely. It usually walks dignifiedly and seriously with its two unsteady hind legs and that moved the many people, young or old, men or women into tears. It also becomes the psychologist for the injured soldiers--with camouflage coat(迷彩服), walk amusingly Like a strong warrior. What is more, it was ever invited as a special guest to be interviewed by the TV hosts.

More and more people are encouraged by the story of Faith, and that is the Reason why People, a famous and hypocritical magazine, which always focuses on the World celebrities, left the front page for the story of Faith.

Faith let us understand that--there is perfect soul even without perfect body. No matter what we are born with, never give up!

一只了不起的狗

狗需要四条腿走…．．，不是这样的吗？是的，大部分的狗是这样的。但有一只叫费斯（信念）的狗出生畸形，仅有两条后腿。这个故事可以追溯到12年前。费斯生来就没有前腿，甚至它的母亲把它当作一只“怪物”，拒绝喂养它。后来，就连它的前主人也认为它不可能活得下去而把它遗弃。幸运的是，一个善良的小女孩，在附近发现了这只奄奄一息的狗，开始照顾它，爱怜它。经过良好的照顾，数月后，可怜的小狗不但奇迹般地活了下来，还学会了用两条剩余后腿直立行走。那女孩给它起了个好听的名字一费斯（信念）。很快这只只有两条腿狗的故事传开了，它的照片出现在许多报纸上。费斯已经成为一个明星，它的主人便开始建立小费斯基金会，和他们的宠物到处旅行，尽可能传播他们的信仰和上帝的眷爱。

截至2008年年底，这只狗成了美国著名杂志《人物》周报的封面明星，这种事情以前从未有过。

甚至一向严肃的华盛顿邮报对这只狗是这样生动描述的，“这是给浮躁的美国带来一种力量；它像是一盏路灯，充满自信和自豪给迷途的人们指引方向；它隐藏了眼泪和悲伤，却只表露出笑容与歌声。它的名字就是“信念”费斯，一口狗只有两条腿，能够像人——样直立行走的狗。

费斯眼中显露的关爱和体贴如同一位母亲。它经常与儿童玩赛车游戏，带给老人和孤独者来了欢乐。它经常以摇晃的后腿迈出尊严而认真的步伐，这让许多人为之动容，无论男女老少都会热泪盈眶。它已成为了一位心理学家，抚慰受伤的士兵——它身穿迷彩服，像一位强壮的战士，迈开憨态可笑的步伐。更重要的是，它曾经应邀作为特邀嘉宾接受电视主持人的采访。

费斯的故事令越来越多的人受到鼓舞，这就是为什么《人物》，这本著名而挑剔，总是关注世界名人的杂志，留下封面给费斯的原因。

费斯让我们明白——即使没有完美的身体，也可以有完美的灵魂。无论我们与生俱来有什么不幸，也永不放弃。
