贫穷限制了我的想象力：全球最贵宠物狗外套，价值86万元

你愿意花多少钱打扮自己的宠物？100元还是1000元？宠物防护品公司Doggy Armour和VeryFirstTo网站近日合作推出了全球首款24K黄金狗夹克，价值高达13.7万美元（约合人民币86万元）。

How much do you really love your pet dog? Enough to buy it the world’s first 24K gold jacket encrusted with Swarovski crystals and black diamonds? It’s “only” $137,000 and it’s armored, meaning it will protect your pooch from bites and even knife slashes.

你有多爱你的宠物狗？爱到可以送它全球首款镶有施华洛世奇水晶和黑钻的24K黄金夹克吗？这件夹克“仅售”13.7万美元，而且可以像铠甲一样，保护你的狗狗不被咬伤或被刀划伤。

The world’s most expensive dog jacket is the result of a collaboration between Doggy Armour and VeryFirstTo. The lavish canine garment is made of “Golden Textile” 24K gold Nano coated fabrics, which apparently “has the authentic values of gold itself and embraces 99.99% gold that is nano-structured”. Clients also have the option to have the jacket decorated with either 20 Swarovski crystals, or 20 black diamonds.

这件全球最昂贵的狗夹克是Doggy Armour和VeryFirstTo网站合作推出的，由24K黄金纳米涂层织物制成，这种材料极其奢华，“具有黄金的真实价值，并含有纯度为99.99％的纳米结构黄金”。买家还可以选择在夹克上装饰20颗施华洛世奇水晶或20颗黑钻。

But if the “wow” factor of this lavish doggy jacket isn’t enough, maybe its protective features will convince you that this thing is worth the asking price of $137,000.

如果这件狗夹克的奢华材质还不足以让你眼前一亮，那么它的高保护性能或许能说服你，它绝对物有所值。

According to the VeryFirstTo website, the super-lightweight garment is enough to protect your pooch from bites or even knife wounds. Pure gold is not the toughest material in the world, but this nano-fabric is apparently 15 times tougher than steel and 8 times tougher than Kevlar.

据VeryFirstTo网站介绍，这件重量超轻的夹克可以保护你的狗不被咬伤，甚至可以防刀砍。虽然金子不是世界上最硬的材质，但据称这种纳米织物比钢材坚硬15倍，比凯夫拉尔纤维坚硬8倍。

“Thanks to Doggy Armour your precious pooch will both be well protected and resplendent in glittering gold. You’ll never see a more golden Labrador, dashing Dachshund, cavalier King Charles Spaniel, or pompous Pomeranian,” VeryFirstTo founder Marcel Knobil said.

VeryFirstTo网站创始人马塞尔•诺比尔表示：“多亏了Doggy Armor，这件耀眼的金夹克将让你心爱的小狗得到更好的保护，变得光彩夺目。没有它，你永远没机会看到毛发更加金光闪闪的拉布拉多，更时髦的腊肠，更有贵族范儿的查尔斯王犬，或是气质更尊贵的博美。”

As you’d expect, the $137,000 price tag of this 24K gold dog jacket also includes a bespoke tailoring service to ensure a ‘best in show’ fit.

正如你所预料的那样，为了确保上身效果完美，这件售价13.7万美元的24K黄金狗夹克提供量身定制服务。

So if you wanted to get your pooch something special and luxurious for its birthday, this jacket fits the bill.

所以如果你想在狗狗生日时送它一份别致奢华的生日礼物，那这件外套刚刚适合。
