Pets (Part 5 of 7)
美國寵物 (七段中的第五段)
Beneath the fluffy luxuries, there lies a basic American belief: Pets have a right to be treated well. At least 75 animal welfare organizations exist in America. These provide care and adoption services for homeless and abused animals. Veterinarians can give animals an incredible level of medical care—for an incredible price. To pay for the high-tech health care, people can buy health insurance for their pets. And when it's time to say good-bye, owners can bury their pets in a respectable pet cemetery.
在舒適奢華的享受之下，其實存在著美國人的一種基本信念：寵物有受到妥善對待的權利。美國至少有七十五個動物福利組織，他們為流浪動物及被虐待動物提供照顧與領養的服務。獸醫能提供給動物極好的醫療照顧——價格也極昂貴，若為了負擔更先進的健康醫療照顧，人們可以為他們的寵物買健康保險。如果和寵物道別的時機到了，主人們可以為寵物買一塊體面的墓地。
