白宫宠物秀——第一家族的狗狗!  

无论是意志刚强的战时总统罗斯福，还是零九年焦点人物奥巴马，美国总统展现给世人的总是威严庄重的形象。然而私底下他们也有不为人知的柔情的一面，白宫种类繁多的宠物就是最好的证明。从聪明的拉布拉多犬到可爱的小猫崽，让我们来看看白宫的“第一宠物”如何“叱吒风云”。

When Barack Obama won his bid for the presidency
he promised his daughters that they could choose a puppy. One of the concerns is that Malia Obama has allergies. The family chose a hypoallergenic Portuguese Water Dog with encouragement from Senator Ted Kennedy
who presented the first family with the dog as a gift. The puppy received his current name from president Obama's o daughters
Malia and Sasha
in part after their cousin's cat and Michelle Obama's father's nickname Diddley; the dog is a manesake of deceased singer Bo Diddley.
贝拉克•奥巴马赢得总统大选后，答应两个女儿领养一只小狗。考虑到玛莉亚•奥巴马有过敏症，第一家庭选择了一只不易引起过敏的葡萄牙水犬，这是参议员泰德•肯尼迪送给第一家庭的礼物。小狗现在的名字是奥巴马总统的两个女儿玛莉亚和萨沙取得，一般取自她们表妹的一只叫“波”德猫，另一半取自米歇尔•奥巴马父亲的绰号“迪德利”，于是这只狗便与一位已故的歌手同名，叫做“波•迪德利”。


In June
2009
the White House released a baseball card for Bo with his new official portrait on one side and tongue-in-cheek statistics on the other; information included the facts that Bo's favorite food is tomatoes and that he does not yet know how to swim.
2009年6月，白宫为“波”发行了一张棒球卡片，一面是它新拍摄的官方照片，另一面是一些半开玩笑的信息，包括“波”最喜欢的食物是西红柿，它到目前为止还没有学会游泳等。
