1、 make good companions 很好的陪伴

　　 Dogs can make good companions. 狗狗可以很好的陪伴。

　　2、 everyone keeps warning me 每个人都跟我说

　　Yeah, everyone keeps warning me about the fact that not only is my apartment small but I'm not home a lot and either is my girlfriend so the dog will be home a lot of the time by itself. 人人都跟我说我的房子不仅小，而且我常常不在家。我的女朋友也不在家。所以狗狗就自己呆家里。

　　3、 be not properly toilet trained 随地大小便

　　I think also, sometimes they're kind of dirty inside of the house. They leave lots of pet hair and sometimes they're not properly toilet trained. 我觉得有时候房子里面会比较脏。它们会留下宠物毛发，而且有时候随地大小便。

　　4、 clean up after them 跟在后面清理

　　 But I don't think it's worth the extra work. You have to clean up after them and of course, like you said, you have to train them. 我觉得不值得做额外的工作呢，你得跟在后面清理，还得训练它们。

　　5、 finicky 难以讨好的

　　Cats are so finicky. Cats don't really like you, I feel like. I feel like the dog is there right when you walk in the door waiting for you to come home. A cat is out next door walking on the fence. They don't care about you. 猫是很难讨好的，猫不是那么喜欢你，我感觉你一回家狗狗就回来迎接你，而猫就不会，它就不在乎你，也许还在旁边的围墙上晃悠。
