But the big event animal lovers are gearing up for,

而動物愛好者則為另一大盛事準備，

the furry showdown known as the Kitten Bowl.

那就是貓咪超級盃！

Once again the cuttest kittens around were taken to the Gridiron,

可愛的貓咪們再度被帶到烤盤 (足球用語表示球場)，

and we chatted with the show's host for a sneak peek.

我們和節目主持人小聊一下，給大家搶先看

This year we've added some of the backstories of the rescues,

今年我們加了一些搜救背景故事，

and in light of the recent natural disaster, hurricanes Irma and Harvey,

因為近來颶風伊爾瑪和哈維釀成的天災，

North Shore Animal League America went straight to the disaster sites and we were there,

美國北岸動物聯盟去到災害現場，而我們也在那，

and brought a lot of the cats and kittens back with us.

並帶回許多貓和小貓

So a lot of the kittens that are playing are actual rescues from those disasters, which is pretty incredible.

因此很多貓咪球員其實是從災難中救出，滿不可思議的

I'm pretty certain that it's safe to say that over ten thousand lives have been saved.

我蠻確定，估計有超過一萬個生命被拯救

They've been adopted because of Kitten Bowl.

牠們因為貓咪超級盃而被領養

And every year it is growing and growing.

每年數量不斷攀升

And we just hope to just continue saving lives.

我們只希望持續拯救生命

And that's what it's all about.

這就是整個活動的意義所在

The fact that, you know, so many people tune in on Super Bowl Sunday to watch our Kitten Bowl

這麼多人在超級盃足球賽當天鎖定我們頻道看貓咪超級盃，

is really amazing to me.

我很驚喜

So there's somebody who covers Super Bowl as well,

所以有些人去看超級盃足球賽，

and somebody does Kitten Bowl on the same day.

在同一天，另外一些人來看貓咪超級盃

It's a pretty cool thing I got it all covered.

能把這一切打理好真棒

North Shore Animal League is an amazing place.

美國北岸動物聯盟是個很棒的組織

So If you've never been there,

所以如果你還沒去過，

I tell everybody go there and see it.

我希望每個人都去那邊看看

And you'll see exactly for yourself what is going on there,

然後你就會明瞭他們在做什麼，

and the heart of gold that is there for the people who run these places.

還有那些參與組織善良慷慨的志工們

And adoption has gone through the roof

而且領養風氣盛行，

because when people see kitties doing kitty things on a football field, everybody wants one.

因為當大家看到貓咪在足球場做出貓咪萌動作時，每個人都會想養一隻

Be sure to check out the Kitten Bowl when it comes to the Hallmark in early 2018!
