這是用科學無法解釋的神秘力量：這只叫做Fidge的貓嗅出了主人的乳腺癌，要知道在這之前醫(yī)生都沒有診斷出來。這些神秘的喵星人和汪星人，它們與主人之間有著神秘的聯(lián)系。
Call it a sixth sense, a special connection, or just plain mystery. But whatever gift cats and dogs have that allows them to detect health conditions in their owners sure has been saving a lot of lives.
是第六感也好，是特殊的心有靈犀也好，或者只是一種普通的神秘力量。但無論貓貓狗狗怎樣天賦讓它們可以診斷主人的健康狀況，這都是能挽救許多生命的超能量力。
Wendy Humphreys, a mother of two from Britain, found out first-hand how powerful that gift can be when her cat Fidge sniffed out a potentially fatal health condition that even doctors hadn’t detected, the Daily Mail reports.
來自英國的溫迪·漢弗萊已經(jīng)是兩個孩子的母親，她親身體會到了這種超能力是多么強大。據(jù)《每日郵報》報道，她養(yǎng)的一只名叫Fidge的貓貓嗅出了她身上潛藏的致命健康問題，而之前甚至連醫(yī)生都沒有診斷出來。
Bewildered at first, Humphreys was compelled to visit a physician after the 10-month-old cat began jumping on her breast and continued to do so for weeks on end.
當時漢弗萊的這只10個月大的貓貓總是向她的胸部撲過去，而且持續(xù)了好幾周。漢弗萊起初還很困惑，后來被逼著去看了醫(yī)生。
What doctors found astounded Humphreys: She had a malignant tumor in her breast about the size of a pea that could have metastasized if it hadn’t been discovered early. She is now scheduled to undergo chemotherapy and credits Fidge with saving her life, according to the paper.
醫(yī)生的發(fā)現(xiàn)讓漢弗萊大吃一驚：她的胸部有一個豌豆大小的惡性腫瘤，如果發(fā)現(xiàn)晚了還有可能會轉(zhuǎn)移。據(jù)報道，她現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)安排好接受化療，而且把Fidge視為她的救命恩人。
Studies have shown that dogs, too, can pick up on illnesses and physical ailments by detecting acute changes in people’s smell. In a 2011 study, researchers in Japan conducted trials to see how well a dog could identify people with colorectal cancer. The dog had a 98 percent accuracy rate, NPR reported.
研究表明，狗狗也可以通過探測人類氣味的重大變化來發(fā)現(xiàn)疾病和一些身體小狀況。在一項2011年的研究中，日本的研究人員試圖了解狗狗幫人類診斷直腸結腸癌的準確率。據(jù)國家公共電臺報道，狗狗診斷的準確率高達98%。
Sometimes, however, animals’ aptitude for detecting changes in humans defies scientific explanation. In 2006, a cat named Oscar confounded experts by "predicting" the deaths of a number of residents at a Rhode Island nursing home. Oscar would begin hanging around people days before they passed away, according to CBS News.
然而，有時動物診斷人類病變的才能卻無法進行科學解釋。2006年，一只名叫Oscar的貓“預言”了羅德島一家私人療養(yǎng)院里一些病人的死亡，這讓專家們十分困惑。據(jù)哥倫比亞廣播公司新聞報道，Oscar在這些病人去世前幾天就開始圍著他們轉(zhuǎn)。
"Oscar is a normal cat with an extra-normal sense for death," Dr. Joan M. Teno, professor of community health at Brown and associate medical director of Home & Hospice Care of Rhode Island, told the Boston Globe. "As a scientist, I want to offer a biological explanation for this," she said. "But I can’t."
“Oscar是一只普通的貓，但它對于死亡卻有著超常的感應，”布朗大學公共衛(wèi)生教授、羅德島家庭和臨終關懷醫(yī)療顧問瓊·M·特諾在接受《波士頓環(huán)球報》采訪時說?！白鳛橐幻茖W工作者，我試圖對此給出一個生物學的解釋，”她說?！暗俏易霾坏??！?
