This is Arturo, a polar bear living in South America who has been called the ‘world’s saddest animal’.
這只生活在南美洲的北極熊名叫Arturo，它被人們稱為“世界上最悲傷的動(dòng)物”。

He sits in a concrete enclosure at Mendoza Zoo in Argentina in temperatures of up to 40C (104F) and is said to have been depressed since his long-term friend Pelusa died two years ago.
它居住在阿根廷門多薩動(dòng)物園里，館內(nèi)溫度高達(dá)40攝氏度。據(jù)稱，自從它一直以來(lái)的好友Pelusa兩年前去世后，就一直很抑郁。

It is claimed the 29-year-old’s lonely life is causing him to display abnormal behaviour, including tilting his head and showing his teeth while pacing back and forth and rocking from side to side.
29年的孤單生活讓它出現(xiàn)了一些反常的行為，包括搖頭晃腦，露出自己的牙齒，前后不斷踱來(lái)踱去，或是左右晃來(lái)晃去。

US singer Cher, 68, said on Twitter: ‘Don’t cry for him, Argentina? No tears of Mrs Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner for tortured polar bear Arturo. Your hands are stained with his blood when he dies.’
68歲的美國(guó)歌手雪兒在推特上說：“別為它哭泣，阿根廷？你們沒有為這只受盡折磨的北極熊Arturo哭泣。當(dāng)它死亡時(shí)，你們的雙手將沾滿它的鮮血。”

Animal rights activists now want Arturo - whose only access to cooling water in his enclosure is said to be a pool just 20in (50cm) deep - moved to another zoo that offers cooler conditions.
動(dòng)物權(quán)益保護(hù)者現(xiàn)在希望可以將Arturo轉(zhuǎn)移到另一個(gè)環(huán)境更涼快的動(dòng)物園里?，F(xiàn)在Arturo唯一的降暑方式就是在一個(gè)只有50厘米深的池塘里游泳。

Mendoza Zoo blocked an effort five months ago to move Assiniboine Park Zoo in Winnipeg, Canada - where a new International Polar Bear Conservation Centre is located, reported the Sunday People.
據(jù)《周日人民報(bào)》報(bào)道，門多薩動(dòng)物園5個(gè)月前曾拒絕將Arturo轉(zhuǎn)移至加拿大溫尼伯的阿西尼玻公園動(dòng)物園，該公園動(dòng)物園內(nèi)新建了一個(gè)國(guó)際北極熊保護(hù)中心。

The zoo did not believe the bear would survive the two-day trip, with director Gustavo Pronotto saying the medical board had made a decision - and officials were keen to ‘a(chǎn)void a big mistake’.
門多薩動(dòng)物園認(rèn)為Arturo忍受不了2天的旅程，且動(dòng)物園主任古斯塔沃·波諾托表示醫(yī)委會(huì)已經(jīng)做出了決定，官方力求“避免出現(xiàn)重大失誤”。

Greenpeace had gathered 160,000 signatures in a campaign to transfer Arturo urgently to Canada, which it said has weather that more closely resembles what occurs in his natural habitat.
綠色和平組織在一次活動(dòng)中收集了16萬(wàn)份簽名，呼吁立即將Arturo轉(zhuǎn)移到加拿大，他們表示那里的氣候更接近北極熊原本居住的自然環(huán)境。

Argentinian professor Fernanda Arentsen, who teaches at Université de Saint-Boniface in Winnipeg, has written to her government and the Canadian Embassy in Buenos Aires over the issue.
在溫尼伯圣邦尼菲斯大學(xué)學(xué)院任教的阿根廷教授費(fèi)爾南達(dá)·阿倫特森已向政府和加拿大駐布宜諾斯艾利斯大使館寫信反映該問題。

‘He looks so sad. He looks in pain. You can imagine a polar bear in the desert with a swimming pool 50cm deep. It’s difficult to watch this poor animal suffering and in pain.’
“它看上去很傷心，很痛苦。你可以想象得出，一只生活在沙漠中的北極熊只有一個(gè)50厘米深的游泳池，它這么受苦，我真的看不下去了?！?/div>
