Human babies learn to talk by listening to their parents, and it seems that dogs are no different.
人类婴孩通过听父母亲讲话学说话，这一点在小狗身上似乎也是通用的。

In an adorable video posted to YouTube, Belka, a three-week-old Alaskan malamute-Siberian husky gets the hang of howling with some help from her human boy owner.
在上传到YouTube上的一个可爱视频中，三星期大的阿拉斯加雪橇犬-西伯利亚哈士奇Belka，在主人小男孩的帮助下学会了吼叫。

The tiny pup sits on the boy's chest, testing out her pipes with some tiny chirruping noises, sounding more like a baby bird than a dog.
这只小狗坐在男孩的胸膛上，发出吱吱的声音测试着自己的嗓音，听起来不像小狗而更像雏鸟的叫声。

The boy sets her on the right track, demonstrating a howl more befitting a canine.
男孩帮助小哈士奇纠音，他模仿狗叫示范性地叫了一声。

Belka soon gets the hang of it, lifting her nose to the sky and howling like a tiny wolf.
Belka很快就掌握了其中技巧，抬起头像小狼狗一样吼叫。

And what she lacks in authority and gravitas, Belka makes up for with sheer enthusiasm.
虽然它的叫声还不具备威猛和庄严，但Belka激情澎湃，吼叫声精彩不减。

Her owners, from the 'Polar bear capital of the world,' Churchill, Manitoba in Canada explain that her name, Belka, means 'squirrel' in Russian.
它的主人丘吉尔一家住在加拿大的马尼托巴省，马尼托巴省号称“北极熊的世界”。主人说小哈士奇的名字Belka在俄语中的意思是“松鼠”。

The name was chosen for the color of her coat, and her mother's name Laika, means 'barker.'
Belka这个名字源自小哈士奇皮毛的颜色，以及它妈妈的名字Laika，Laika的意思是“吠叫者”。

Contrary to her name, Laika is a quiet dog, they say, and only barks when she sees a polar bear.
与名字含义相反的是，狗妈妈Laika是一只安静的狗。据说它只在看到北极熊的时候才吼叫。

Belka's bark may not yet be enough to scare off a polar bear - or a teddy bear - but she's certainly on her way.
Belka的吼叫声或许还不足以吓跑北极熊，甚至泰迪熊。但不容置疑的是，它大有潜力可待发挥。
