2017年12月英語六級翻譯題庫：狗

　　請將下面這段話翻譯成英文：

　　很多人在自己的生活中都會有或者想有一只狗來作為自己的生活小伙伴。然而，當你想買狗的時候，你需要一方面考慮你自己需要什么樣的伙伴，另一方面要考慮你自己的生活環(huán)境是否適合養(yǎng)狗。在你選擇要買什么狗的問題上，最好聽一聽專家的意見。當然，做決定部分還取決于基本常識。

　　不同的狗適合于執(zhí)行不同的任務(wù)。因此如果你想買一只狗看家的話，你就需要考慮狗的大小和性格。除非你住在鄉(xiāng)村，可以讓它自由奔跑;否則，你就要在它年輕時投入大量的時間來訓練它，并自始至終給予它所需要的鍛煉。

　　狗是需要情感交流的動物，它不像貓一樣，只需要有一個安樂窩就心滿意足了，狗對主人很忠誠，但它也需要主人對它關(guān)愛有加。買狗要優(yōu)先考慮它是否快樂地生活于你所提供的環(huán)境。另外，買狗的最佳時間是在狗出生后6到8周，這樣的話，小狗才會把對母狗的感情轉(zhuǎn)移到主人身上。如果小狗在三個月內(nèi)還沒有和人建立起情感的話，那么它就只會和狗有感情。它們太易害羞，這種狗往往不適合當做寵物帶出門去。
