[英译汉]
　　(1)When people tell me that they love animals because they’ re feeling beings and then go on to abuse them, I tell them that I’m glad they dont love me. Recognizing that animals have emotions is important because animals’ feelings matter. Animals are sentient beings experiencing the ups and downs of daily life, and we must respect this when we interact with them. (2)While we obviously have much more to learn, what we already know should be enough to inspire changes in the way we treat other animals. We must not simply continue with the status quo because that is what weve always done and it’s convenient to do so. What we know has changed, and so should our relationships with animals. Quite often what we accept as "good welfare" isn’t "good enough. "
　　Our relationship with other animals is a complex, ambiguous, challenging and frustrating affair, and we must continually reassess how we should interact with our nonhuman kin. Part of this reassessment involves asking difficult questions. Thus, I often ask researchers who conduct invasive work "Would you do that to your dog?" (3)Some are startled to hear this question, but it’s a very important one to ask because if someone won’t do something to their dog that they do daily to other dogs or to mice, rats, cats, monkeys, pigs, cows, elephants or chimpanzees, we need to know why.
　　Humans have enormous power to affect the world any way we choose. Daily, we silence sentience in innumerable animals in a wide variety of venues. (4)However, we also know that were not the only sentient creatures with feelings, and with the knowledge that what hurts us hurts them comes the enormous responsibility and obligation to treat other beings with respect, appreciation, and compassion.(5)There’s no doubt whatsoever that, when it comes to what we can and cannot do to other animals, it’s their emotions that should inform our discussions and our actions on their behalf.
　　Emotions are the gifts of our ancestors. We have them, and so do other animals. We must never forget this. [344 words]

　　(1)当有人对我说，他们喜爱动物是因为动物有情感，然后又虐待动物，我就对他们说，幸亏他们不喜欢我。
　　(2)虽然关于动物还有许多知识有待我们去学习，不过我们对动物的已有了解足以促使我们改变对待它们的方式。(3)听到这个问题，有人很吃惊。但是，这是一个值得问的重要问题，因为，如果某人平常野蛮对待其它狗，还野蛮  对待老鼠、猫、猴子、猪、母牛、大象、黑猩猩等，却不这样对待自己的狗，我们倒想知道这究竟是为什么。
　　(4)然而，我们也知道，并非只有我们人类具有情感。我们知道，伤害我们的事也会伤害动物。因此，我们对其他动  物应该尊重、感激和同情，这是我们的巨大责任和义务。
　　(5)毫无疑问，无论如何，说到对其他动物能做什么和不能做什么，我们无论讨论动物，还是对待动物，应该顾及的  正是它们的情感。

　　全文翻译
　　(1)当有人对我说，他们喜爱动物是因为动物有情感，然后又虐待动物，我就对他们说，幸亏他们不喜欢我。承认动物有情感对我们来讲很重要，因为动物的情感不容忽略。动物们也是有情感的生物，每天都要经历情感的起起落落，我们在与动物互动的过程中也要注意这一点。(2)虽然关于动物还有许多知识有待我们去学习，不过我们对动物的已有了解足以促使我们改变对待它们的方式。我们不能再让现状持续下去，因为我们一路就是这么走过来的，想都不用想就可以照搬以前的做法。既然我们的知识已经增长，那么与动物之间的关系也就该发生相应的变化。一些我们通常认为已经算是“不错的待遇”实际上并不是“那么好”。
