每日口說挑戰實測你家狗狗有沒有同理心 (How Empathetic Is Your Dog? | ScienceTake)

Intro:
Hello VoiceTubers! Welcome to this week's pronunciation challenge! Anyone out there who has their own pets? Perhaps a cat, a fish, or a dog. I actually have a little rebellious corgi called “Bailey” that I’ve had for almost 3 years. I once read in an article that dogs are empathy animals and that they are able to feel the emotions of their owners. I didn’t believe it when I first read it until one time it actually happened to me. When Bailey was about 5-6 months old, I got a bit emotional due to work and some personal things. Bailey suddenly came to me, started licking my face, and later, just laid her head on my lap. It felt like she knew I was having a bad day and she was trying to comfort me. I think after that day Bailey and I started to bond and somehow are able to know what the other person is thinking. Are your pets as empathetic as Bailey? Well find out in today’s sentence of the day, let's get to it!


Sentence:
Some of the dogs, like poor Kiki, were so anxious that they may have even interfered with their ability to act.
像 Kiki 這樣可憐的狗狗可能因為太焦lu慮，而干擾到他們採取舉動的本能。

Pronunciation Tips:
Some of /sum-uv/ 這邊有連音 把 of 唸成 uv /sumuv/

Vocabulary:

干涉，干預

昨天我發現我弟弟有做一頓全餐的能力。

Outro:
OK, that's all for today’s episode. Did you manage to find out if your pet has empathic abilities? I think having a pet is a great feeling, they tend to come to us when we’re feeling down or lonely. But having a pet you must have full responsibility. I’ve seen too many people getting a pet due to their cuteness but when things get hard, they start abandoning their pets or giving them away. When I first had Bailey, the first year was the biggest challenge because I had to train her a lot. She destroyed so many of my slippers, I lost count on how many were destroyed, and even dug a huge a hole in my sofa. When Bailey first came I barely slept for the first month, it’s like having your own kid. Anyway let me know about your pet’s in the comment section if you have any and I’ll see you all next week, stay safe everyone peace!
