【双语对话】

Coco: Hey mom, did you ask your friend Lena? Will she be able to take care of the guinea pigs when we are off to Tennessee?

嘿妈妈，你问你的朋友莉娜了吗？ 当我们去田纳西州时，她能照顾豚鼠吗？

Melanie: I talked to her, but she happens to be away next month. Do you have friends who will be able to help?

我跟她说过了，但她下个月正好不在。 你有朋友可以帮忙吗？

Coco: I haven't reached out to my friends yet. Most of them have dogs or cats, which is not ideal for guinea pigs. I read online that guinea pigs shouldn't be placed together with predatory animals. I love my friends' pets, but I don't know if they will act violently towards our pigs.

我还没有联系我的朋友。 他们中的大多数人都有狗或猫，这对豚鼠来说并不理想。 我在网上读到豚鼠不应该与掠食性动物放在一起。 我喜欢我朋友的宠物们，但我不知道它们是否会对我们的猪有侵略性。

Melanie: We can have a monitor set up and watch what they are doing when we are gone.

我们可以安个监视器，在我们离开时观察他们在做什么。

Coco: A camera will be helpful only if we are able to do something when we spot a problem. Let's say if one pig got its head stuck somewhere, we can see it through the camera, and what are we gonna do about it? There has to be people watching over them.

相机只有在当我们发现问题时能够采取行动时才有所帮助。 假设一头猪的头卡在某个地方，我们可以通过摄像头看到它，我们能怎么办呢？(所有) 必须有人在监视他们。

Melanie: That is s a good point. Let me think of other options.

有道理。让我想想其他选择。
