场景：

小波咖啡馆生意越来越好，今天店里来了一位遛宠物的女孩儿，打扮精致，小华男友不敢上前招呼，因为她牵了头猪进店。

Xiaohua's Boyfriend： What? She is walking a pig!

小华男友：什么？她在遛猪？

Xiaobo： Actually, the pig walks her. I know this type of pig. It's called a mini pig, micro pig, or teacup pig. Don't you think it's kind of cute？ Hi, excuse me？ Tea or coffee?

小波：实际上是猪在遛她。我知道这种猪。这种猪是“小香猪”。难道你不觉得可爱吗？你好，喝茶还是咖啡？

Lady： I'd like a black coffee without sugar and milk.

女：来杯清咖啡，不放糖和牛奶。

Xiaobo： Okay. Wait a sec. Eh, is it a teacup pig?

小波：好的，请稍等。这是小香猪？

Lady： I think it is.

女：我觉得是的。

Xiaobo： What do you mean？

小波：为啥说是你觉得是的？

Lady： I'm not sure whether it is a teacup pig or not.

女：我不确定它是不是小香猪。

Xiaobo： So, you mean you are not sure whether it stays small or not, right?

小波：你意思是你不知道它会不会长大，对吧?

Lady： Yes. Have you had a pet pig?

女：嗯，你也养过宠物猪？

Xiaobo： Well, yes, I once adopted a mini pig. There are many breeds of pigs sold as "mini pigs", but even the smallest breeds of pigs will not remain very small. Why do you want to keep a pet pig?

小波：是啊，我曾经收养过一只小香猪。小香猪有很多种，但是即便是最小的品种也会长大。你为啥养小猪呢？

Lady： Oh, I read a novel called Charlotte's Web. I think the pig is cute, so I want to have a try.

女：哦，我读了一本叫《夏洛特的网》的小说，我觉得猪猪好可爱，所以我想养一只。

Xiaobo： Do they smell bad？

小波：他们臭吗？

Lady： I don't know. It's cute, isn't it?

女：不知道啊，好可爱，对吧？

Xiaobo： While pigs are clean animals and typically do not have a body odor, it's important to know that pig waste is very smelly. So, you'd better not take your mini pig here next time. Oh, your coffee is here. It's on me. You're welcome.

小波：猪猪很爱干净，也没有体味，但是它们的便便很臭。所以，下次别遛猪到店里来了哈，这是你的咖啡，我请客，不客气。

Lady：Thanks.

女：好吧，谢谢啊。
