 People in Cali, Colombia, are shocked to see the bond between a large African lion and a woman who saved it from abuse, involving long, affectionate kisses and hugs between the pair.

在南美哥伦比亚西部城巿卡利,一只非洲狮和和它的救命恩人相拥亲吻,关系十分亲密,让人震惊。
Ana Julia Torres, who runs the Villa1 Lorena animal shelter in Cali, fed and nursed Jupiter the African lion back to health years ago after it was found abused and emaciated2 in a traveling circus.
Ana Julia Torres在卡利负责一家名为Villa Lorena的动物保护中心。在许多年前,Torres把受虐待而瘦弱的狮子丘比特从马戏团救出,饲养和照顾它,让它恢复健康。
"It is amazing to see an animal like that be so sweet and affectionate," said Torres. "This hug is the most sincere one that I have received in my life."
“看到动物如此可爱和深情,真是太让我惊讶了!”Torres说,“这是我人生中遇到的最为真挚的拥抱。”
"Here we have animals that are lame3, missing limbs, blind, cross-eyed, disabled," said Torres, 47, who relies on donations and her own modest teacher's salary to run the shelter in a poor neighborhood in the southern city of Cali. "They come to us malnourished, wounded, burned, stabbed, with gunshots."
47岁的Torres在哥伦比亚南部城市卡利的一个贫困地区,依靠捐助和微薄的教师薪水开设这个庇护所。她说:“我们这里的动物,有的瘸腿,有的少胳膊,有的瞎了,有的斜眼,有的是残疾。他们到我们这的时候,有的营养不良,有的被打伤,被烧伤,刺伤,还有被枪伤的。”
Torres said because she opposes exhibiting animals in circuses, she decided4 to keep her shelter closed from the public.
Torres说,因为她反对在马戏团里展出动物,因此她的庇护所不对公众开放。
