人的长相会影响命运,狗狗也是如此。长久以来,由于人们的偏见,黑狗一直无法摆脱“黑狗综合症”,被误认为是凶恶狂躁的动物,也因此总是遭到忽视,走向安乐死的命运。
Black dog syndrome refers to the tendency for black- or dark-coated dogs to be passed over for adoption in favor of lighter colored dogs in an animal shelter.
“黑狗综合症”指人们在动物收容所里领养狗狗时,往往倾向忽略那些拥有黑色或深色皮毛的狗儿,而选择毛色较浅的汪星人。
Black dogs are often treated differently than other dogs -- and are often overlooked by people who come to shelters with the intention to adopt.
人们对待黑狗和其他的狗儿完全不同,黑狗经常遭到来收容所领养狗狗人们的忽视。
The phenomenon is commonly referred to as "Black Dog Syndrome" or "Black Dog Bias," a stereotype against dark-colored animals possibly ingrained in people through depictions in movies and books, according to experts.
学者表示,这种现象通常被称为“黑狗综合症”或“黑狗偏见”。电影和书籍对于深色皮毛动物的描述根植于人们的心中,行程了他们对这些动物的刻板印象。
"Sometimes black dogs are seen as scarier by people," said an expert. "It's very, very unfair -- you can get a bite from a little yellow Chihuahua faster than one of the bigger black dogs."
一位专家表示,有时候人们会认为黑狗更加可怕。这实在是非常、非常不公平,体型娇小的黄色吉娃娃会比体态较大的黑狗更快咬到你。
Still, there is an abundance of anecdotal evidence from shelter workers that black dogs are routinely ignored, and, as a result, more of them are euthanized due to a shortage of space at shelters.
就算如此,收容所工作人员提供的大量证据表明,黑狗总是受到忽视,由于收容所空间有限,更多黑狗也因此被实施安乐死。
