摘要：我有一个年纪不大的熟人，他对成就这个东西不太习惯。事实上，作为一名见习训狮员，他在履行职责时，常常被人认为不太胜任，而且不得不接受作为首席训狮员的父亲给他的尖刻评价，因为他不付诸行动。

A young acquaintance of mine is not accustomed to achievement. In fact, in the administration of his duties as trainee lion tamer, he is not usually considered adequate and often has to acknowledge the acid remarks of his father, the head lion tamer, for his lack of action.His father often uses the adjective “sleepy” to describe the lack of activity of both him and the lions.

我有一个年纪不大的熟人，他对成就这个东西不太习惯。事实上，作为一名见习训狮员，他在履行职责时，常常被人认为不太胜任，而且不得不接受作为首席训狮员的父亲给他的尖刻评价，因为他不付诸行动。他父亲常用“懒洋洋”这个形容词来形容他和狮子，因为他们都缺乏活力。

In addition, he has been told to adjust his attitudes and acquire a greater sense of showmanship if he wishes to gain admission to the main ring in the circus tent. His need is acute, because acquisition of performing skills would be an addition to his natural ability to communicate with lions, and enable him to step into the main ring when his father is out of action.

另外，他被告知如果他还打算被准许进入马戏篷中心场地表演的话，他就得要调整态度以学到更多的演出技巧。对此他的愿望挺强烈，因为学会表演技巧是他天生能与狮子沟通的本领之外增加的又一个优势，这能让他在他父亲不能工作的时候踏进中心场地表演。

In addition to this, even though he is only three years old and gets very tired following the lions around their one acre park, he is already famous as a lion tamer because he appears in an ad for the circus, and is even being sought by a manufacturer to promote acid adapted specially for use in animal food.

除此之外，虽然他还只有3 岁，跟着狮子绕一圈方圆一英亩的场地之后总是累得够呛，但是他已经是一个很有名的驯狮员了，因为他为马戏团做了一个广告，现在甚至还有一个厂家找他帮助推销酸性物质，一种特别适合作动物饲料的产品。
