之前某功德一直在說
「上架台灣」
說什麼要讓世界看見台灣
口號聽起來超智障到底誰想的
現在終於知道了
原來是這種上架啊

: BBC Global News Podcast 全球新聞談到了台灣的低生育率導致大家都去養寵物
: https://voca.ro/19Sb8hixK6LP (音檔) https://i.imgur.com/aKp8yD1.png
: 以下為完整的逐字稿
: Taiwan's birth rate is among the lowest in the world. The latest figures show
: that on average, fewer than one baby is born for every woman. Many
: commentators blame economic factors for the trend, but as Ed Butler reports
: from a cat refuge in Taipei, pets seem to be filling the gap.
: 台灣的出生率是全球最低的之一。最新數據顯示，每位女性平均出生不到一個嬰兒。許多
: 評論家將這一趨勢歸咎於經濟因素，但正如BBC記者Ed Butler在台北一家貓咪收容所的報
: 導中所述，寵物似乎正在填補這項缺口
: Meow!
: BBC: OK, so I've just stepped into the quarantine section now. We're looking
: at a few of them gazing out from their little pens. These are strays you just
: collected?
: 我剛走進了隔離區。我們和門欄裡的貓咪互相凝視。這些是你們剛收到的流浪貓嗎？
: 收容所：Some were brought in by people who just saw them on the street, and
: some of them, they were adopted. We have more and more requests of owners who
: have to give away their cat.
: 有些是被人們發現在街上就帶來的，有些則是被領養的。我們收到越來越多的請求，
: 飼主不得不送出他們的貓。
: BBC: Who's this one? 這是誰啊
: 收容所：His name is Open. 他的名字是 "Open"
: BBC: He's very open when it comes to talking. Aren't you? So you've got more
: cats than you used to have. Are more people coming in and adopting them?
: 它在交談時非常開放，是吧？所以你們現在有比以往更多的貓。有更多的人來領養它們嗎
: 收容所：I think so. For sure, a lot more people are coming in to adopt,
: especially when they're young couples.
: 我覺得有欸，越來越多的人來領養，特別是年輕情侶
: BBC:So they're young couples, like people in their 20s?都是年輕情侶嗎 20多歲的？
: 收容所： Yes, students. 對，還有學生
: BBC:Interesting. So these are their new babies? 有趣，所以這些是他們的新寶寶？
: 受訪：I think it is a lot like babies. 我覺得這些貓咪很像他們的寶寶
: BBC：Baby cats and baby dogs. Pet ownership, it seems, is skyrocketing in
: Taiwan at the moment,with furry friends now outnumbering the babies themselves.
: The writer and comedian Vicky Wang is one of the new generation of Taiwanese
: pet enthusiasts.
: 寵物貓和寵物狗。目前台灣的寵物飼養似乎正在飆升，毛茸茸的朋友現在甚至超過了嬰兒
: 的數量。作家兼喜劇演員Vicky Wang是台灣新一代寵物愛好者之一。
: Vicky: I am an owner of four cats because it makes more sense in a city. You
: come home and there's someone there for you. It's comforting.
: 我養了四隻貓，因為在城市裡這樣更合理。你回家，總有人在那等你。這讓人感到溫暖
: BBC: I mean, I've seen a lot of buggies, well strollers, as you say, in the
: States, and they are quite often not containing babies but dogs.
: 我想說，我在街上看到很多嬰兒車，往往裡面不是裝著嬰兒，而是狗。
: Vicky: I think that's a uniquely Taiwanese thing because you're required to
: have them in a containerto take them on the subway. It's like a wheelie
: suitcase.
: 我認為這是台灣獨有的特色，因為你需要把寵物放在容器裡才能帶上捷運。
: 就像一個有輪子的手提箱
: BBC: Taiwan, I've read, has one of the lowest birth rates anywhere. Are pets
: replacing babies? 我讀到，台灣有全球最低的出生率之一。寵物正在取代嬰兒嗎？
: Vicky: I, myself, I am 37 years old this year. It doesn't really make sense
: for me to have kids anymore. It's a financial decision. It's nearly
: impossible at the current Taiwanese salary to start a family in your 20s. I
: am pushing 40 now. I can't even consider it, like, buying property somewhere
: in Taipei, hopefully in a decent school district. That's completely out of
: the question if I stay here and earn a Taiwanese salary. I don't want to put
: a hierarchy between pets and children, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone
: said, like, I can't afford to have a kid, so I am choosing pets.
: 我自己，今年37歲。對我來說生孩子已經不太現實了。這是一個財務決定。以台灣薪水
: ，20多歲就開始組家庭幾乎是不可能的。我快40歲了。我甚至無法考慮在台北買房子，
: 希望一個不錯的學區附近。如果我留在這裡，拿台灣的薪水，那完全是不可能的
: 我不想在寵物和孩子之間建立等級之分，但如果有人說，
: 「我負擔不起孩子，所以我選擇養寵物，我也不會感到驚訝。」
: Meow!
