這是阿培曾經在我巴褲的書裡面寫的，這文章是阿培本身養狗的經驗，對每個養狗的人都有很大的幫助，希望大家有時間可以把它看完，我翻譯成英文讓大家看：
Apei wrote many things into my Baku book. Mainly how to raise dogs, his life experience with dogs and about dog breeds. Its very useful information so please take a look. I translated it into English for everyone to read.
想要養全世界最大的狗，所有的大狗養過一輪，最後情定獒犬。
I wanted to raise all the big dogs available around the world. I wanted to takes turns raising all the big dogs, but I fell for Mastiff.
我從小就有個心願，要養全世界最大的狗。十幾歲開始工作，慢慢把大狗養了一輪：紐波利頓獒犬、大丹、高加索——最後才把重心放在西藏獒犬上。
Ever since when I was very young, I had a dream to raise all the big dogs available throughout the world. I started working at a very young age. Over the years, I had owned a Neapolitan Mastiff, Great Dane, Caucasian Shepherd, and finally now I am totally focused on taking care of my Tibetan Mastiff.
其實每種狗都可愛，只是養著養著，慢慢摸索出自己最喜歡的樣子——
To be honest, no matter what the breed, each dog is cute & lovable in its own way. Having own so many dogs, I slowly figured out what I like the most.
比方紐波利頓，嘴巴皮垂皺加上毛短，吃完東西不馬上擦乾淨，很容易過敏有皮膚病，照養上很費功夫。
Neapolitan Mastiff, for example, has saggy faces and very short hair. If you don’t clean him up after a meal, the dog can very easily have allergic reactions or skin diseases. It’s quite a chore taking care of this breed of dogs.
大丹漂亮修長，但我更喜歡粗勇的體型。
Great Danes are beautiful and usually possesses a lengthy body, but I like ones with a thicker and wider body.
高加索犬算是最貼近我期待的，但是，高加索犬野性比較強，對其他小狗比較不友善。
Caucasian Shepherd is perhaps a breed that is closest to my ideal type. However, shepherds are more primitive, they are not that friendly to small dogs.
至於西藏獒犬，牠忠實、對小孩、女人和小型動物又溫和——尤其是冬天，西藏獒犬換上一身長披毛，站出來威風凜凜、霸氣十足。
As far as Tibetan Mastiff goes, they are loyal, and gentle around kids, women, and other small animals. Especially during winter, a Tibetan Mastiff would change into a long fur coat, appearing so confident and proud, as if everything else is beneath them.
養到西藏獒犬，我心中就有「中」的感覺——所以一路養到現在。
When I got to owning a Tibetan Mastiff, that’s when my heart and mind went: “This is the one!” And so… I have been raising one ever since.
之前養的每隻狗，我都是養到牠們老死——大型狗的平均壽命比中小型犬還要短的許多，大概10年到15年。
All the dogs I had previously, I have always had them until they passed away peacefully in my arms due to old age. The average lifespan of large-sized dogs are usually a lot shorter than small-sized dogs. 10 -15 years, I would say, is probably the max.
要駕馭大型狗，教法是重點。我常跟人說，「狗的主人要有霸氣，要比狗兇」。從小規矩就要訂下——如果主人希望能帶大狗去散步，一定要從小帶牠出門，讓牠習慣走在你腿旁邊，讓牠早早社會化。
To manage a large-sized dog, the key is on teaching. I often tell my friends: “As a dog owner you have to be dominant, you have to be more dominant than your dog.” Show ‘em who’s the boss in the house, so to speak lol. As a dog owner if you wish to take your large dog out for a walk, you have to start taking them for a walk when they are still very small, let them get used to walking alongside you, this is basically to socialize them.
你帶領狗去散步，不是牠帶你去散步——讓牠們見多視廣，狗就不會有初見陌生事物激動暴衝的時候。
Remember tho, you are taking them for a walk, not the other way around. You have to let them see more, let them become familiarize with what’s happening on the outside. This way, it will lessen the occurrence of your dog having violent reactions to unfamiliar or unknown objects.
基本上，除非是生病，要不然狗咬人，都是基於「恐懼」。牠怕主人被攻擊，所以擺出戰鬥姿態——當然，社會化不足或主人威嚴感比較差的狗，就比較容易出在驚慌狀態下而暴衝咬人。
Basically, unless your dog is sick, a dog only starts biting people out of “fear.” They fear that his owner will be attacked, that’s why he goes into “combat mode.” Of course, a dog that is less socialized or a dog with a less dominant owner will more likely become violent (including biting) when they feel threatened or panicking.
這部分是主人的問題，比較不是狗狗本身的問題。改善了狗主人的牽法與教育狗的方式，狗的暴衝、易怒問題就可以得到改善。
This is the owner’s fault, and not on the dog. Once you improve upon the way you walk the dog and educate the dog the right away, the dog’s violent behavior and violent tendencies will show an improvement.
獒犬還有一個別稱，「栓犬」。讓獒犬待在同個地方大概30分鐘，牠就會覺得那是牠地盤，開始會對經過的路人兇，這點要特別注意。
Mastiff also goes by another name, “guardian dogs.” If you let a Mastiff stay in one place for over 30 minutes, he’ll think that this place is his place, his territory, and will starting defending it by being aggressive to passerby, this is something to be aware of.
我最常被問到的，獒犬吃很多三餐費用很高吧？
The question that I was asked the most is… “Mastiffs eat a lot, don’t they? So you must’ve spend a lot of dog food, right?”
我自己對狗比較捨得，讓牠吃好——牛肉全雞羊肉，但是也不一定要跟我一樣餵法。讓牠們吃飽，有時間去跑跑步，偶爾洗一下澡，牠們就很開心了。
I am more catering to my dog, that’s for sure. I’ll let him eat the good stuff --- beef, full chicken, lamb… But you don’t have to do it like me, tho, just feed him regularly so your dog is not hungry. If you have the time, take him for a walk or a jog, or bathe him, he is going to be really really happy if you do so.
最後要提醒的是，大型犬因為身體重腳的負擔大，狗主人最好是把牠們養在不滑的地板上，跟，6個月以前的小狗，髖關節還沒發育完全，不要讓牠們大量跑跳。這兩點注意一下，加上每天帶花時間帶牠們去散步運動，這樣就能保持牠們四隻腳的健康，減少很多腿部問題。
Lastly, I want remind everyone, as far as large dogs go, because of their huge physique they have tons of pressure on their feet, so it’s best for a dog owner to raise a large-sized dog on a non-slippery floor. Also, for a dog that is not yet 6 months old, don’t let the dog do too much jumping and running because his hip joint isn’t fully developed yet. That’s two things you should keep in mind. So as long as you take the time to walk your dog and do a bit of exercise, you’ll be able to keep their legs healthy, which will reduce a lot of the dog’s leg problems.
不管大狗小狗，牠們都是我們的家人，養了，就好好照顧牠一輩子。最後還是那句話.如何對待如何回報.
No matter big or small, a dog is family. If you got one, please take care of him/her for the rest of its life. Lastly, just want to say, You reap what you sow.

_______________
Stuff是美國人最常用的單字之一, 但台灣人很少很少用到它! 這不是因為stuff本身是個
很複雜的單字(stuff=東西), 而是因為美國人對東西(stuff)的概念與用法與台灣人稍微
不一樣吧! 譬如說, 中文可以說“你是什麼東西!” 英文卻不能說 “What stuff are
you!” (這樣問的話, 對方可能會說, “血肉??”). Stuff的另外一問題點是, 隨著詞性
的變化, stuff的意思會有很大的改變
1. (名詞) stuff=東西
2. (動詞) to stuff=填塞
3. (形容詞) stuffy=悶悶的
4. (名詞) stuffing=感恩節火雞的餡
那我們今天一個一個來分析, 看看美國人會怎麼使用stuff這個單字!
.
1. (名詞) stuff=東西: 如果你想指某個東西或你自己的東西, 但暫時忘了怎麼說或就是
懶得說出口, 那就可以用stuff. 如果你看到了真的不知道那是什麼的物體, 在這時候當
然也要說stuff. Stuff有很多固定用法與片語, 我們現在來看幾個比較好用的:
-Where’s my stuff? (我的東西在哪?)
-Is that your stuff? (那是你的嗎?)
-Who took my stuff! (誰把我的東西拿走了!)
-What IS this stuff?? (這到底是什麼東西?)
-That’s good stuff! (這是好東西)<<最常指吃的或毒品
-What kind of stuff do you like to do? (你喜歡參加什麼樣的活動?)
-I don’t like that stuff. (我不喜歡那個東西/那個活動)
.
例:
媽媽: “Your stuff is all over the house.” (你的東西到處都是啦.)
女兒: “Yeah.” (對啊)
媽媽: “Clean your stuff.” (整理一下吧.)
女兒: “Wait a sec.” (等一下啦.)
媽媽: “If you don’t clean it right now, I’ll tell your dad about the jumbo
box of condoms you have under your bed.” (如果你沒有立刻去整理, 我告訴你爸爸
你床下有大盒保險套.)
女兒: “I’ll take care of my stuff now!!!!” (我立刻來處理!!!)
.
例:
高雄女孩: “What is this white stuff?” (白色的這些是什麼東西?)
台北男孩: “This is dragon dandruff.” (這是龍的頭皮屑.)
高雄女孩: “What! LIAR! Dragons don’t have hair!” (什麼! 騙人!!! 龍是沒有頭
髮的)
台北男孩: “You got me. You’re really smart.” (被你發現了, 你真聰明)
高雄女孩: “Thanks…but really, what is this stuff?” (謝謝…不過說真的, 那是
什麼啦?)
台北男孩: “Your dandruff. You should really wash your hair more.” (你的頭皮
屑. 你真的應該更常洗頭髮啦.)
.
2. (動詞) to stuff=填塞: Stuff也有填塞或塞住的意思, 所以常常用來指吃的非常非常
飽(I’m stuffed!!!)或狼吞虎嚥(Stuff your face!). 當然我們也可以說, 把某個東西
stuff into某個地方 (stuff your socks into the bag [把襪子塞進包包裏]).
例: “Godzilla was so stuffed after eating three nuclear power plants, he
decided to leave the fourth nuclear power plant for MUTO.” (哥吉拉吃了三個核
電廠之後, 他超級無敵的飽, 所以就決定了把核四留給MUTO吃.)
例: “The Taichung girl stuffed her face whenever she was angry.” (那台中女孩
每次生氣就會開始狼吞虎嚥狂吃東西)
例: “After stuffing two rolls of toilet paper in her bra, the girl was sad
to discover she was still an A-cup.” (把兩卷衛生紙塞進胸罩之後, 那女孩很悲哀
地發現, 她還是是A杯)
.
3. (形容詞) stuffy=悶悶的: Stuffy有兩種意思, 第一是悶悶的, 悶熱, 第二是因為過
度正式而無聊, 第二個意思的來源是, 如果你穿西裝, 你會很悶熱, 所以這種很正式的場
合的那感覺與悶熱的感受就被連接在一起.
例: “The anteater is so stuffy, he only likes to talk about classical
literature and stocks.” (那隻食蟻獸好無聊~~~~~~, 他只喜歡討論經典文學和股票.)
例: “The Taipei basin is really stuffy, because too many dragons live here,
and they keep breathing fire.” (台北盆地真的超悶熱, 原因是這裏住了太多一直在
噴火的天龍.)
.
4. (名詞) stuffing=感恩節火雞的餡: 美國人的傳統料理, stuffing是感恩節塞進火雞
一起考的陷 (非常好吃!), 因為是塞進火雞而得此名.
例: “Stuffing proves American food is the best food in the world.” (感恩節火
雞餡就在證明美國料理是世界上最棒的料理.)
例: “When Little Bi said American stuffing is the best in the world, the
zebras occupied his room until he said sorry.” (小畢說了美國感恩節火雞的餡是
世界最棒的之後, 一群斑馬就來了占領他房間, 一直到小畢跟大家說聲道歉為止)
.
Get out of my room, zebras! 下課!
