柯基(犬)是为英国女王伊丽莎白二世精心挑选的犬种,她现在养了好几条柯基。柯基起源于威尔士,在那里这个名字意味着‘dwarf-dog’(矮狗),由于“cor”等同于“dwarf”(矮小),“gi”等同于“dog”(狗),因此组成了corgi。
Dachshund 腊肠犬
Lop off the hund (German for dog), and you end up with dachs, which is German for badger – what these dogs were originally trained to hunt. You might also know these dogs as wiener dogs, a reference to their long, thin bodies, which are reminiscent of sausages.
拿掉单词“Dachshund”中的hund(hund在德语中是狗的意思),就剩下dachs(在德语中表示獾的意思),因为这些狗最初是被训练去捕抓獾的。你可能也听说这些狗被称为维也纳香肠狗,这是因为它们细细长长的身躯干会让我们联想起香肠。
Dalmatian达尔马西亚狗(斑点狗)
Dalmatia is the name for a region that is now part of Croatia and Montenegro, formerly part of Yugoslavia and before that an Austrian province. Despite those famous spots, the Dalmatian is related to the Great Dane.
“Dalmatia”(达尔马提亚)是一个地名,最开始是奥地利的一个省,后来是前南斯拉夫的一部分,现在属于克罗地亚和黑山共和国的一部分。达尔马西亚狗命名的来源除了与那么多著名的地点有联系,也和大丹犬有关。
