Life as a Female Bear | 雌熊的生活

点击查看中英对照

If you're a bear, you get to hibernate. You do nothing but sleep for six months. I could deal with that.

Before you hibernate, you're supposed to eat yourself stupid. I could deal with that, too.

If you're a mama bear, everyone knows you mean business. You swat anyone who bothers your cubs. If your cubs get out of line, you swat them too. I could deal with that.

If you're a female bear, your mate expects you to wake up growling. He expects that you will have hairy legs and excess body fat.

I wanna be a bear.
