离婚理由：鹦鹉开始重复说出“离婚”和“耐心”

　　3. The Woman who got divorced after her parrot started repeating "Divorce" and "Be Patient"

　　In 2001, a Chinese woman launched divorce proceedings against her husband after the family's pet mynah bird reportedly spilled the beans on his marital indiscretions. According to the Xinmin Evening News, the woman first suspected something was amiss when the bird began repeating words apparently picked up from her husband's secret telephone calls to his lover after she returned from a month-long visit to her parents. She said words such as "divorce", "I love you", and "be patient" had become an increasingly frequent feature of the feathered telltale's idle twitterings。

　　She took her case -- along with the bird -- to a local law office for consultation, hoping it would testify in court against her husband; lawyers however told her they were not optimistic that the bird's testimony would sway the court. The wife filed for divorce but, for some bizarre reason, evidence from a bird was apparently not admissible in Chinese courts。
　　3. 一个女人在她的鹦鹉开始重复说出“离婚”和“耐心”时要求离婚。

　　2001年，一名中国妇女向丈夫提出离婚诉讼，理由是她的丈夫在一次不慎失言后，家里的宠物八哥开始不断重复他的话。据《新民晚报》报道，这名妇女最先开始怀疑是在她探亲一个月后，回到家中，鸟儿开始重复这两个词，而她认为这是鸟儿在丈夫同秘密情人的电话中学到的。她说，像是“离婚”、“我爱你”和 “忍耐”这几个词已经越来越频繁，而且还掺杂着懒散的呢喃。她带着她的案件和她的鸟到当地的律师事务所咨询，希望它可以出庭作证指认丈夫。但是律师对鸟类的证词可以影响法院判决一事并不乐观。这位妻子提出离婚，但是理由很奇怪，很显然，证鸟在中国的法庭中很难被接受。
