壹苹派生活美语　毛小孩的安眠之地：海德公园宠物公墓

　　The death of pets can be difficult for their owners. It is often hard to cope with the loss of their animal friends who loved them unconditionally. Around 200 years ago, a special pet cemetery was created in a quiet corner of London’s Hyde Park to comfort owners who were in grief over their losses. Hyde Park Pet Cemetery was founded in the 1800s by Mr. Winbridge, who served the Duke of Cambridge and lived on the edge of the park. He allowed people to bury their pets in his private garden. Many members of the upper class asked to have their pets buried there because the park was in a prestigious London location.

　　宠物的死亡对于牠们的主人来说是很难熬的。通常很难应对无条件爱他们的动物朋友的逝去。大约两百年前，伦敦海德公园一处安静的角落设立了一座特殊的宠物公墓，以安慰因失去宠物而悲伤的主人。海德公园宠物公墓于十九世纪由温布里奇先生创建，他曾服侍剑桥公爵并住在公园边缘。他允许人们将宠物埋在他的私人花园里。许多上流社会分子请求将他们的宠物埋在那里，因为公园位於伦敦极具名望的地点。
