  It’s a common belief that over time pet owners start to look like their animals. Now comes the terrifying news that cats look up to (仰望;仰慕) their owners as role models (行为榜样) and mimic (模仿) their behavior.
  人们普遍认为,时间久了宠物主人会变得越来越像自己的宠物。而有 “可怕”的最新消息说喵星人会以主人为榜样,模仿主人的一举一动!
  Cats are intelligent animals with a long memory. They watch and learn from us. If you spend a lot of time finding food in the fridge, your cat will return to its food bowl for that midnight snack, too. According to the study, this explains why “human and cat obesity rates (肥胖率) often seem to match.”
  猫是很聪明的动物,记忆力很强。猫会观察人类并向人类学习。所以如果你经常翻冰箱找食物,喵星人可能也会半夜跑到食盆前吃上两口宵夜。这个研究正好解释了“人类与猫的肥胖率通常比较相似”的现象。
  There’s no word if drinking green tea and making sure you go to Yoga (瑜伽) will benefit (对……有益) your cat, but based on the study, it sounds like sticking to a healthy eating and sleeping habit is best for both of you.
  虽然并无证据表明主人喝绿茶或练瑜伽也能帮到喵星人,但根据研究,健康饮食和睡眠习惯似乎对你和喵星人都有好处。
  There’s a lot we can learn from our cats, too. When they sit on our lap softly purring (猫在高兴时发咕噜声) with half-closed eyes, the sense of calm that comes over us is like a private lesson in inner peace. Sure. But cats don’t have to sit in rush hour traffic for an hour a day or worry about their lives. They’re probably pretty good at remaining calm.
  相反我们也能从喵星人身上学到很多。每次喵星人蹲在我们膝头半眯着眼睛打呼噜时,安宁感便油然而生,真像是在亲密地教我们如何做到内心祥和。确实如此。但喵星人又不用每天花一小时挤公交,更不会为生活而烦恼,或许它们天生就这么淡定吧。
  So, according to science, even though we assumed (假设) that cats were aloof (冷淡的) jerks (混蛋) all these years, it turns out they are in fact learning from us and looking up to us. Scary, huh?
  所以,根据科学阐释,尽管我们这些年来一直以为喵星人只是冷漠的小坏蛋,但结果却证明它们竟然一直在学习并模仿我们。是不是有点小吓人?
