十戒 (Author Unknown)

My life is likely to last ten to fifteen years. Any separation from you will be painful for me. Remember that before you buy me.
我只能活10-15年，你的遗弃将是我的最大痛苦，带我回家前，请牢记这一点。

Give me time to understand what you want of me.
给我点时间，让我理解你要我做什么。

Place your trust in me, It's crucial to my well-being.
请信任我，这对我至关重要

Don't be angry at me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your entertainment and your friends, I have you only.
不要长时间和我生气，不要把我关起来。你有工作、娱乐和朋友，而我只有你。

Talk to me sometimes, Even if I don't understand your words, I understand your voice when it's speaking to me.
经常和我说说话，即使我不懂你说什么，但是我会听懂你的声音。

Be aware that however you treat me, I'll never forget it.
要知道，无论你怎么对我，我都永远不会忘记。

Remember before you hit me, I have teeth that could easily crush the bones of your hand, but I choose not to bite you.
打我之前请想一想，我可以轻易咬碎你的手骨，但我选择不伤害你。

Before you scold me for being uncooperative, obstinate or lazy, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, or I've been out in the sun too long, or my heart is getting old and weak.
在你嫌弃我固执、讨厌与懒惰之前，你该想想我是否难受。也许我没有得到公平待遇，或者在阳光下呆得太久，也许我的心脏在越来越老、越来越弱。

Take care of me when I get old, you too will grow old.
当我变老时，请你照顾我，你也一样，都会老去的。

Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say, 'I can't bear to watch it' or 'Let it happen in my absence'. Everything is easier for me if you are there. Remember, I love you.
请陪我走完最后的旅程，别说“看着我会难过”或者“最好我不在”，只要你在我身边，我什么都能接受。最后，请记住，我爱你。
