Prana was a beautiful dog, whose name means "breath of life". Although he died several years ago, I can still remember the days we spent together and what he has taught me about love.
普拉那是一个漂亮的狗,名字的意思是“生命的呼吸”。虽然它死了几年,但我还记得我们一起度过的日子,它教会了我很多关于爱的道理。
I have two apple trees in the garden. Prana loved apples. When he went outside, he'd catch an apple and take it into the house to eat later. The apples had been on the ground and were often dirty so I wasn't always happy that Prana had brought them into the house.
我有两棵苹果树种在花园里。它爱苹果。当它走到外面,它会抓住一个苹果，把它进带进屋里晚些再吃。苹果一直放在地上,常常很脏,所以我并不总是高兴它带苹果进了屋子。
It was an autumn day in America, but it was very cold. A big snow fell and we had not done anything for its coming. On that special day, Prana went outside and I watched him through the window. I noticed that he was madly digging (挖) holes and bringing the apples to the ground so they could be seen above the snow. I did not know why he was doing this. He seemed to want to do something special.
那是一天美国的秋日,但很冷。在那天下了大雪之前我们没有做任何的准备。在那个特殊的日子,普拉那到外面去,我看着它从窗户进来。我注意到它在疯狂挖洞,把苹果带到地面之上,即便下雪也可以看到那些苹果。我不知道它为什么会这样做，它似乎想做一件特别的事。
When I called him back, he had his usual one apple in his mouth. About five minutes later, I looked outside.The garden was completely covered with birds. Prana had dug up all those apples for his bird friends to eat.He knew that they wouldn't have stored enough food for the coming winter!
当我叫它回来,通常有一个苹果会在它的嘴巴里。大约五分钟后,我向窗外望去。花园里到处都是鸟儿。普拉那挖出了那些苹果是让它的鸟朋友吃的。它知道鸟朋友在即将来临的冬天没有储存足够的食物!
