2. huhu was by far the funniest-look dog i’d ever seen. thin curly hair barely covered her sausage-shaped body. her bugged-out eyes always seemed surprised, and her tail looked like a rat’s tail.
虎虎是我見過的長得最有特點的狗了。細細的卷毛覆蓋住它香腸式的身體，突出的眼球總是驚奇地看著周圍的一切，尾巴長得像老鼠的尾巴。
a. by far  迄今為止，到目前

3. she was brought to the vet to be put to sleep because her owner didn’t want her anymore. i thought huhu had a sweet personality, though. “no one should judge her by her looks,” i thought. so the vet washed her and gave her the necessary shots. finally, i advertised huhu in the local paper: “funny-looking dog, well-behaved, needs a loving family.”
主人把它送來安樂死是因為不想要它了，但我感覺虎虎性格很溫柔，“不要以貌取人。”我想。獸醫給它洗干凈又打了預防針。最后，為了給虎虎找一個新家，我在當地的報紙上登了廣告：“小狗一只，長相滑稽有趣，性格溫順，尋找有愛心的家庭。”
