Life as a Female Bear | 雌熊的生活

English Original

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.


中文翻译

如果你是熊,你就可以冬眠。连续六个月,除了睡觉什么都不用做。这我能接受。

冬眠之前,你可以把自己吃撑到犯傻。这我也能接受。

如果你是熊妈妈,大家都知道你是认真的。你会拍打任何打扰你幼崽的家伙。如果你的幼崽不守规矩,你也会拍打它们。这我也能接受。

如果你是雌熊,你的伴侣会期待你醒来时咆哮。他会期待你拥有毛茸茸的腿和多余的体脂。

我想当一只熊。
