当地时间14日,美国国家动物园称园中的旅美大熊猫美香疑似怀孕,如果顺利的话最早在本周末就将分娩。这一难得的好消息引发美国网友关注。
Mei Xiang, a 22-year-old giant panda who came to the United States in 2000, could deliver a cub-or cubs-in the next few days, the Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington has announced, after imaging revealed what appeared to be a fetus.
位于华盛顿的史密森尼国家动物园宣布,2000年赴美的22岁的旅美大熊猫美香可能在几日内诞下熊猫宝宝,此前的检查影像中看到了疑似胎儿的组织。
“We need this! We totally need this joy,” said zoo spokeswoman Pamela Baker-Masson. “We are all in desperate need of these feel-goods.”
“我们正需要这个!我们太需要这个好消息了。”动物园的发言人帕梅拉·贝克·梅森说:“我们太需要这种喜悦了。”
之所以说是疑似怀孕,是因为大熊猫常会发生“假怀孕”(phantom pregnancies)的现象。尽管美香之前有过此现象,但动物园这次对怀孕判断有信心。
Mei has had numerous “false pregnancies,” which are common in giant pandas and happen when the animal exhibits early signs of pregnancy but no cub appears. That is not the case this time, the zoo said.
美香有过很多次“假怀孕”,这种情况在大熊猫中很常见,通常在早期会出现怀孕迹象,但看不到幼崽。不过动物园表示,这一次的情况并非如此。
