Vera visits the animal shelter to adopt one kitten. She wants just one, but two kittens catch her eye.
薇拉来到动物收容所，想领养一只小猫。她只想要一只，可是有两只小猫吸引了她的目光。
The first kitten is orange and sleeps in a small ball. The second kitten is gray and climbs the cage bars.
第一只小猫是橘色的，蜷成一个小球睡觉。第二只小猫是灰色的，正在攀爬笼子的栏杆。
"I can't decide," Vera tells the shelter worker, Amir. "They're both so cute."
“我拿不定主意，”薇拉对收容所的工作人员阿米尔说，“它们都太可爱了。”
"Take your time," Amir says. "Sit with both of them for a while."
“不着急，”阿米尔说，“跟它们俩都坐一会儿吧。”
Vera sits on the floor. The orange kitten climbs into her lap and falls asleep right away.
薇拉坐在地板上。橘色小猫爬进她怀里，马上就睡着了。
The gray kitten jumps on her shoulder and bats at her hair. Vera laughs out loud.
灰色小猫跳到她肩上，伸爪拍她的头发。薇拉忍不住大笑起来。
"This one has a lot of energy," Amir says. "The orange kitten is calm and quiet."
“这只精力很旺盛，”阿米尔说，“橘色的那只安静又温顺。”
Vera thinks about her small apartment and her busy work schedule. "Maybe a calm kitten is a good choice," she says.
薇拉想到自己的小公寓和忙碌的工作安排。“也许温顺的小猫是个好选择，”她说。
But the gray kitten won't stop playing with her shoelace. Vera watches it and starts to smile.
可是灰色小猫一直在玩她的鞋带，怎么也不肯停。薇拉看着它，渐渐笑了起来。
"Actually, I need some energy in my life too," she says. "Can I take them both?"
“其实，我的生活也需要一点活力，”她说，“我可以两只都带走吗？”
Amir laughs and checks his clipboard. "Two kittens, coming right up," he says. Vera fills out the papers for both.
阿米尔笑着查看他的记录板。“两只小猫，马上来，”他说。薇拉给两只小猫都填了表格。
