這個人發(fā)明了一個漂浮裝置來拯救他心愛的金魚
There are so many people who prefer to raise cuddly, fluffy animals, but let’s not forget those who love water-dwelling pets such as goldfish. While their owners can’t really cuddle them, it doesn’t mean they don’t love their tiny water pets. Take for instance, 32-year-old fashion designer Henry Kim from South Korea who has an undeniable love for goldfish.
有很多人喜歡養(yǎng)可愛的毛茸茸的動物,但是我們不要忘記那些喜歡水棲寵物的人,比如金魚。雖然他們的主人不能真正地擁抱他們,但這并不意味著他們不愛他們的小寵物。以32歲的韓國時裝設(shè)計師亨利·金為例,他對金魚有著不可否認的喜愛。
He keeps over 20 of them in three separate aquariums in his home. The kind-hearted man makes sure that there’s no fish left behind when it comes to taking care of them. So after losing some of them to a disease, Henry invented a ‘wheelchair’ that saved his beloved fish’s lives.
他把20多條金魚養(yǎng)在家里三個不同的魚缸里。這個善良的人確保在照顧它們的時候不會落下一條魚。因此,在其中的一些金魚死于一種疾病后,亨利發(fā)明了一種“輪椅”,挽救了他心愛的魚的生命。
Sadly, goldfish are known to be commonly affected by swim bladder disease. This ailment disrupts their ability to properly regulate the air going in and out of their swim bladder, making the fish swim on its side or upside down.
遺憾的是,金魚通常會受到魚鰾疾病的影響。這種疾病破壞了它們正常調(diào)節(jié)進出魚鰾的空氣的能力,使魚只能側(cè)著游泳或倒立著游泳。
“Swim bladder disorder can be caused by many reasons such as overeating or unclean waters. I normally find it in fish that have been imported to Korea from Thailand or China,” said Henry.
“導致魚鰾失調(diào)的原因有很多,比如暴飲暴食或不干凈的水。我通常在從泰國或中國進口到韓國的魚中發(fā)現(xiàn)這種物質(zhì)。”
To help the fish out, Henry came up with a brilliant idea. He decided to create a tiny device that makes the fish stay in a correct position while underwater. After spending numerous hours online looking for ideas and researching ways to solve the issue, Henry came up with something he calls a ‘wheelchair’ – a flotation device made of plastic that allows the affected fish to swim normally.
為了幫助這條魚,亨利想出了一個絕妙的主意。他決定發(fā)明一個小裝置,使魚在水下保持正確的位置。在花了大量時間在網(wǎng)上尋找解決問題的方法和想法后,亨利想出了一種他稱之為“輪椅”的東西——一種由塑料制成的漂浮裝置,可以讓受影響的魚正常游泳。
“Fish with this issue only live a couple of months, but thanks to this device, one of my fish has lived to be five months old. My wheelchair helps them stay afloat and have a longer life,” Henry said.
“有這種問題的魚只能活幾個月,但多虧了這個設(shè)備,我的一條魚活了五個月。我的輪椅可以幫助它們漂浮,讓它們活得更長。”亨利說。
The device quickly went viral with many people praising Henry for his kindness and creativity.
這款設(shè)備迅速走紅,許多人稱贊亨利的善良和創(chuàng)造力。
