Lou Lou, an instant online celebrity with over 680,000 fans on Sina Weibo,
the Chinese answer to Twitter and one of the country’s major social media
outlets.
楼楼是一位在新浪微博上有68万粉丝的网红猫，新浪微博就类似于中国的推特，是中国最主要的社交通道之一。
Its facial expressions have been adapted into emojis and widely used on the
internet. “You may not know the cat’s name, but you must have seen its emojis,”
says Lou Banniang, the cat’s owner.
它的面部表情被改成表情包在网络上广泛使用。这只猫的主人楼板娘说：你也许不知道它的名字，但你一定见过它的表情包。
Sadly, Lou Lou died of a heart attack on Oct 14, leading to a wave of
despair among quite a few online users.
很不幸，楼楼10月14日死于心脏病发作，这令众多网友十分伤心。
“I cannot accept the fact that Lou Lou has gone forever, and my favorite
emojis cannot update any more,” Weibo user Xiao Pihai_223 said.
微博用户小屁孩说，我接受不了楼楼已经永远离开的事实，我最喜欢的表情包再也无法更新了。
“One of the necessities in my life is watching each and every move of Lou
Lou. It looks like an angel to me, and it has now gone back to paradise,” added
Pai Dadui, another user.
另外一名网友Pai Dadui说，“我生活中必不可少的一件事就是静静地看着楼楼的一举一动，它就是我的天使，而现在它回到了属于它的那个天堂。”
The cat first gained public attention last year, thanks to a short video
recording its naughty yet interesting movements in the bathing process, and a
clip that has been viewed millions of times.
楼楼因为去年的一段视频引起网友注意，视频中记录了它在洗澡时调皮又有趣的瞬间，这段视频已被浏览了上百万次。
In addition to emojis, Lou Lou’s image has appeared on pillows, cups,
clothes and cartoons. People may feel sorry about the death of such a cute cat,
but also are surprised by the animal’s power and influence.
除了被制作成表情外，楼楼的照片还出现在枕头、杯子、衣服以及动画中，当人们为如此可爱的猫死去感到伤心的同时也为动物的影响力感到惊讶。
Cat culture seems to have exploded over the past few years, from millions
of funny cat videos being shared all over social media, to cats becoming
internet famous and celebrities in their own right. It would be a strange week
indeed if I wasn’t sent multiple links by friends to cat-related articles, said
Abi Purser, director of Longcroft Luxury Cat Hotel Group.
“猫文化近几年来似乎正在逐渐兴起，从社交网络上几百万部猫咪的有趣视频，到它们成为了拥有自己权利的网红。如果一个星期内没有一些朋友给我分享一些有关猫的文章，就会感觉怪怪的。”
龙克罗夫特豪华猫酒店集团的主管Abi Purser说。
Throughout human history, cats have been our best friends, just like dogs.
They make fantastic company as pets, make us laugh with their inquisitive nature
and ridiculous antics, and are independent enough to amuse themselves while
we’re at work, welcoming us when we get home by rolling about at our feet.
纵观人类历史，猫就像狗一样早就成为了我们最好的朋友，作为宠物它们给予我们最好的陪伴，同时它们好奇的天性与滑稽的动作也带给我们欢笑。当我们工作时，它们足够独立照顾自己，每天我们一进家门它们又会马上滚到脚边欢迎我们。
According to the White Paper on Pet Industry in China in 2017, in Britain,
a total of 1.4 million photos of selfies are uploaded to the internet every day,
but photos with cats dwarf that number at 3.8 million.
依据2017年中国宠物产业白皮书，每天上传到网络上的自拍照有140万张，但是这与每天上传的380万张与猫有关的照片相比相形见绌。
In China’s largest question and answer community Zhihu, cat –related topics
number 18,000, while dog-oriented topics are up to 90,000.
在中国最大的问答类论坛知乎上，喵喵相关的话题数目有1.8万条，与汪汪相关的话题数量达到9万条。 |
