Como mamá, siempre quiero lo mejor para mi familia.
Por eso quiero lo mejor en mi cocina.
Y eso significa solo huevos Egglands Best.
No importa cómo los cocines, siempre saben frescos y deliciosos.
Y tienen más vitaminas D, E y el doble de omega-3 que los huevos regulares.
Entonces, ¿por qué conformarte con menos cuando puedes tener lo mejor?
Egglands Best.
Mejor sabor, mejor nutrición, mejores huevos.

大家好欢迎收听BBC英语教学的你问我答节目。 We're here to answer your questions about English language, culture and life.
I'm Bully, and Neo is here to help me answer a question about animals.
Hi Bully, how are you?
I'm very well, thank you.
So, let's hear the question.
你好,我想知道有哪些单词可以用来描述跟宠物互动的动作, 比如play with, stroke,或者cuddle等等。
Lovely question.
Do you have any pets, Bully?
I do have a cat, and I miss her so much on such a busy day at work.
本期节目中我们将要回答的问题和 pets 宠物有关。 这位听众想知道有哪些动词可以用来描述我们和宠物之间的互动。 Let's get started.
My best friend has a dog called Ralph.
He's so cute and whenever I see him I love to fuss him with lots of cuddles and treats, if he's allowed.
Oh, how sweet.
I like to fuss my cat as well.
She gets lots of cuddles too, but we don't give her treats because she doesn't like them.
I think people do give their cats treats though.
I know that if you have a dog, you have to walk it every day.
I guess you don't walk your cat.
I don't, but I do know someone that keeps ferrets and they walk them sometimes.
Wow, interesting.
I love when Ralph lies with his head on my legs and I give him a stroke.
He really loves a stroke on the head and a tickle on his tummy.
My cat loves that too.
I scratch her behind her ears and she makes lots of purring sounds.
People don't tend to train their cats, but they do train dogs, don't they?
Yes, my friend took Ralph to training, especially when he was a puppy.
They trained him to do things like sit, lie down and roll over, although he's still not very good at rolling over.
That's more like a trick than something necessary, I think.
Maybe I could teach my cat to roll over.
你正在收听的是BBC英语教学的你问我答节目。 在刚才的对话中,我和Neil使用了不少描述跟宠物互动的动词,特别是跟猫和狗等常见的宠物互动时的动作。 首先,如果你对自己或他人的宠物特别有感情,喜欢抚摸陪他们玩耍,就可以用fuzz这个动词来描述自己的动作。
Fuzz 的意思是宠爱某物,对某物给予很多的爱意和关注。 Owners walk their dogs or take their dogs for a walk.
Bully doesn't walk his cat, but he knows someone who walks their ferrets.
Trust me, my cat does not like to be walked.
我们可以用动词walk来描述带宠物出去遛弯。 比如walk a dog的意思就是遛狗。 在出门遛猫、遛狗或者在家陪宠物玩耍时 人们还常常会give their pet a treat.
给他们的宠物喂小零食。 We stroke a pet, especially if they have fur.
This is to move your hand gently over their fur repeatedly, usually on their back or head.
And we often scratch a pet behind their ears, particularly cats and dogs.
My cat loves this.
单词stroke和scratch 分别描述两个触摸宠物的动作, 抚摸和抓挠。
And a tickle on the tummy.
Hmm.
Maybe I should get a cat.
Maybe you could.
最后,tickle这个动词的意思是挠痒痒。 我们可以用这个词来表达给宠物的肚子挠痒痒。 Remember, if you have a question that you'd like us to answer, you can email us too at questions.chinaelt at bbc.co.uk 你还可以通过微博向我们提问。 我们的微博账号是bbc英语教学。 Bye!
