程度副詞

You can't really call me a crazy cat lady.

I would rather have 800 cats than another man.

比起找個男人，我更想擁有 800 隻貓咪陪伴。

Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt. No!

我早就都經歷過，還是算了吧！

Kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty.

This is called the Cat House on the Kings.

It's a 12-acre, no-cage, no-kill sanctuary, rescue-adoption center.

這是一間占地 12 英畝、無籠、無撲殺的避難所，是一座救難暨領養中心。

And we also do a lot of spays and neuters.

We have close to 800 adults and 300 kittens on the property as we speak.

截至目前為止，這裡收容了近 800 隻成貓和 300 隻幼貓。

It wasn't like I planned, "Hey, I think I'll have a thousand cats! What a novel idea!"

這不是我計畫的，我的心態並不是「嗯，來養個一千隻貓吧！真是個新奇的想法！」

I thought, well, there's always room for more.

我只是覺得，反正總會有空間可以多收留幾隻。

我不收留的話，這隻貓會被殺的。

You can see that it's an extremely large house.

你可以看到這是一間非常大的房子。

So you had to give up your home for these cats?

所以你為了這些貓而放棄了自己的家？

I tried for about 16 years to make it work, but it wasn't okay having 60-something in my bedroom.

我花了大概 16 年試著和貓咪共同生活，但我發現讓 60 隻貓在臥室裡生活不是個好主意。

One night, they threw up in my ear, and that was when I moved.

某天晚上，牠們嘔吐在我耳朵裡，讓我當下決定搬家。

這 4,200 平方英尺的空間都是牠們的。

所以我們才會說它是「貓屋」。

We have saved over 28,000 cats in 24 years.

我們在 24 年期間拯救了超過 2 萬 8 千隻貓咪。

You have to be very on top of the job because you have a lot of cats that you're responsible for.

你必須很能夠掌握一切狀況，因為這攸關許多貓咪的生命。

No point in rescuing them and taking them in if you can't take care of them.

如果你無法好好照料牠們，那麼拯救和收留牠們就沒意義了。

People, after a while, would say, "Well, you know, I think I've done this enough."

人們過一陣子後往往都會說：「你知道嗎，我覺得我做的夠多了。」

"I think I'll go have a life now. I think I'll go travel."

「我覺得我該好好過生活了，我想我去環遊世界好了。」
