Passage Three
短文三
A new study from Oregon State University found that dogs tend to match their behavior with the children in their family.
俄勒冈州立大学的一项新研究发现，狗的行为倾向于与家庭中的孩子保持一致。
The findings are important because there is a growing body of evidence that dogs can help children in many ways.
这一发现很重要，因为越来越多的证据表明，狗可以在许多方面帮助孩子。
These include helping with social development, increasing physical activity, managing anxiety or serving as a source of attachment in the face of changing family structures.
这些包括帮助社交发展、增加身体活动、控制焦虑或在家庭结构发生变化时充当依恋的来源。
Yet very little research has focused on how dogs perceive and socially engage with children.
然而，很少有研究关注狗如何看待和与孩子进行社交互动。
"The great news is that this study suggests dogs are paying a lot of attention to the kids that they live with," said Monique Udell, the lead author of the study.
这项研究的主要作者莫妮克·乌德尔（Monique Udell）说，“好消息是，这项研究表明，狗非常关注与它们一起生活的孩子。”
"One interesting thing we have observed is that dogs are matching children's behaviour, but less frequently than what we have seen between dogs and adults.
“我们观察到一个有趣的现象，狗的行为与孩子的行为一致，但频率低于我们在狗和成人之间看到的。
This suggests that while dogs may view children as social companions, there are also some differences that we need to understand better."
这表明，虽然狗可能将孩子视为社交伙伴，但也存在一些我们需要更好地理解的差异。”
While research has found dogs can have a lot of positive impacts on a child's life, there are also risks associated with a dog child relationship.
虽然研究发现狗可以对孩子的生活产生很多积极影响，但狗与孩子的关系也存在风险。
For example,other studies have found dogs are more likely to bite children versus adults.
例如，其他研究发现，与成人相比，狗更容易咬孩子。
"We still have a lotto learn about the dog child relationship," Udell said. "But research does show that kids are very capable of training dogs."
“关于狗与孩子的关系，我们还有很多东西要学，”乌德尔说。“但研究确实表明，孩子们非常有能力训练狗。”
