Recording two
記錄2

many dog owners will tell you that their dog somehow knows when they're ill or upset
許多狗主人會告訴你，他們的狗不知怎的知道他們生病或難過時

and according to researchers who study dog cognition, those pet owners are right
據(jù)研究狗類認知的研究人員稱，這些寵物主人是對的

dogs do know when their human companions are having a rough time
狗確實知道它們的人類伴侶過得不好

not only can your dog sense when you have a cold, but domestic dogs have shown an aptitude for detecting both much smaller mood fluctuations and far more serious physical conditions
你的狗不僅能感知到你感冒，而且家養(yǎng)犬已經(jīng)表現(xiàn)出能夠檢測更小的情緒波動和更嚴重的身體狀況的能力

this is because dogs are extremely sensitive to changes in the people they are familiar with, and illness causes change
這是因為狗對它們熟悉的人的變化極為敏感，而疾病會引起變化

if a person is infected with a virus or bacteria for example, that odor will be abnormal, and dogs are able to smell that change, even if the human can't
例如，如果一個人感染了病毒或細菌，那種氣味就會異常，狗能夠聞到這種變化，即使人類不能

because dogs have a much more powerful sense of smell than humans
因為狗的嗅覺比人類強大得多

researchers have also found that a person's mood, which can be an indicator of a larger illness, triggers a dog's sense of smell
研究人員還發(fā)現(xiàn)，一個人的情緒可能是更嚴重疾病的征兆，這會觸發(fā)狗的嗅覺

human emotions manifest physically in chemical signals that are emitted by the body, and dogs are able to smell those as well
人類的情緒會以身體發(fā)出的化學信號的形式表現(xiàn)出來，狗也能聞到這些信號

beyond smell, dogs gather information from a person's voice in order to sense changes
除了嗅覺之外，狗還會從人的聲音中收集信息來感知變化

in 2014, researchers discovered that dogs have an area of the brain similar to one in humans that allows them to understand emotional cues in the tone of a speaker's voice beyond what they'd be able to pick up from familiar words alone
2014年，研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，狗的大腦中有一個區(qū)域與人類的類似，這使得它們能夠理解說話者聲音中的情感線索，而這些線索是它們僅僅從熟悉的單詞中無法獲取的

a person's voice can also carry indicators of illness
人的聲音也可能攜帶疾病的跡象

what's not understood quite so well is what dogs understand about these changes
尚不完全清楚的是，狗對這些變化的理解如何

humans send out lots of cues, but whether dogs know some of these cues mean illness isn't clear
人類發(fā)出許多線索，但狗是否知道其中一些線索意味著疾病還不清楚

what we perceive as concern on a dog's part might be more like increased curiosity or suspicion that something is wrong with us
我們所認為的狗的擔憂可能更像是增加的好奇心或懷疑我們出了什么問題

and sticking close by is a great way to gather more information about the situation
而靠近是收集更多關于這種情況信息的好方法

some researchers assert dogs will one day help doctors diagnose diseases
一些研究人員斷言，狗總有一天會幫助醫(yī)生診斷疾病

as some dogs have already demonstrated the ability to detect an assortment of ailments
因為有些狗已經(jīng)表現(xiàn)出能夠檢測出一系列疾病的能力

including diabetes and certain types of cancer
包括糖尿病和某些類型的癌癥

but those researchers can see that's probably in the distant future
但這些研究人員認為這可能在遙遠的未來

for now research suggests dog ownership can have an array of benefits in and of itself
目前，研究表明養(yǎng)狗本身可以帶來一系列好處

keeping a pet dog has been shown to bolster health and boost mood
養(yǎng)寵物狗已被證明可以增強健康和情緒

dogs also help people relax and they can be a particular comfort to those with chronic diseases
狗還能幫助人們放松，它們對慢性病患者來說也是一種特別的安慰
