题目内容:
Dog owners now have a little help understanding their furry friends.A new device(装置) called Bow-Lingual “translates” dog barks into English, Korean or Japanese.Bow-Lingual Japanese inventors spent much time and money analyzing dog barks.They found that dog noises can be broken down into six different emotions: happiness, sadness, frustration, anger, assertion and desire.
Part of the Bow-Lingual device hangs on the dog’s collar.The other part is a handle-held unit for the owner.When the dog barks, the unit displays translated phrases.
Some people have scoffed at Bow-Lingual.“Who would pay $120 to read a dog’s mind?” they ask.
But those who have purchased(购买) Bow-Lingual praise the device.Pet owner Keiko Egawa, of Japan, says it helps her sympathize(同情) with her dog Harry.“Before we go to the park, he always says he wants to play,” says Egawa, “and after a walk, he always says he is hungry.”
Bow-Lingual is not yet available(可用的) in Chinese.So you’d better keep studying Studio Classroom, or soon your dog may know more English than you do!
