Raccoons
Part of my job at the state fish and wildlife department is to lend equipment to residents1 for trapping and relocating raccoons. A man who had been successful at capturing2 one of the animals called to ask whether raccoons mated for life. He said his daughter was worried that they might have separated a monogamous couple.
I don't know why she's so concerned, he added. She's been married three times.
浣熊
我在州政府鱼类和野生动物部门工作时,负责向居民们出借捕浣熊的装备。一个人捕获了一只猎物,他打电话来询问浣熊是不是终生只有一个伴侣。他说他的女儿担忧他们可能拆散了一对终生伴侣。
我不了解她为何这么关心这事,他补充说,她自己已经结过三次婚了。
