新概念英语第三册模仿翻译第9课：Flying cats飞猫Lesson 9 Flying cats飞猫Cats never fail to fascinate human beings. They can be friendly and affectionate towards humans, but they lead mysterious lives of their own as well. They never become submissive like dogs and horses. As a result, humans have learned to respect feline independence. Most cats remain suspicious of humans all their lives. One of the things that fascinates us most about cats is the popular belief that they have nine lives. Apparently, there is a good deal of truth in this idea. A cat's ability to survive falls is based on fact.Recently the New York Animal Medical Center made a studyof 132 cats over a period of five months. All these cats had one experience in common： they had fallen off high buildings, yet only eight of them died from shock or injuries. Of course, New York is the ideal place for such an interesting study, because there is no shortage of tall buildings. There are plenty of high-rise windowsills to fall from! One cat, Sabrina, fell 32 storeys, yet only suffered from a broken tooth. 'Cats behave like well-trained paratroopers.' a doctor said. It seems that the further cats fall, the less they are likely to injure themselves. In a long drop, they reachspeeds of 60 miles an hour and more. At high speeds, falling cats have time to relax. They stretch out their legs likeflying squirrels. This increases their air-resistance and reduces the shock of impact when they hit the ground.1.Cats never fail to fascinate human beings.never fail to 是双重否定结构，表示肯定的意思，但是又增强了语气。

Dogs are submissive and faithful to their masters, but cats like to be independent. Cats are especially lovable when they are still kittens. As kittens they like to play by chasing anything that moves. That's how they learn to hunt mice, birds, insects and other smallcreatures. A lot of people keep cats so they can have a pet .As kittens grow into cats, they like to stay indoors. They like regular meals and enjoy sleeping in front of a nice fire. However,they also like going out. During the day time and at night theylike to go hunting. Sometimes during the night they havefightswith other cats. Cats are very clean animals. You often see themwashing themselves. Human beings are fascinated by their behaviour because cats are domestic animals, while at the sametime they enjoy their independence.
