For the
honorary mayor of Talkeetna, Alaska, a weekend dogfight was less political, more
literal.
对于美国阿拉斯加州塔尔基特纳市的“荣誉市长”来说，周末的这场“猫狗大战”少了些政治意味，更符合其字面意思。
Mayor Stubbs the cat is recovering at a veterinarian's office in Wasilla after being injured by a dog Saturday night in the
quirky tourist town near Denali National Park.
猫市长斯塔布斯目前正在瓦西拉市的兽医院慢慢康复。周六晚上，猫市长在德纳里国家公园附近的游客区被恶狗咬伤。
Owner Lauri Stec says that Stubbs suffered a
fractured sternum and a
punctured lung, and already has undergone three hours of surgery.
猫市长斯塔布斯的主人劳里-斯特克说：“斯塔布斯（被狗咬后）胸骨断裂，肺部受到刺伤，并进行了3个多小时的手术。
Stec is planning to file a police report. She says the would-be
assassin "needs to go away."
主人斯特克打算向警方报案，她表示这类“暗杀事件”不应该再发生。
Residents didn't like the mayoral candidates years ago, so they encouraged enough people to elect Stubbs as a write-in candidate.
几年前，当地市民因不喜欢当时的市长候选人，而集体选择斯塔布斯作为市长候选人。
Although his position is honorary, Stubbs' popularity is real, earning national stories and subsequent visits from tourists.
尽管它的职位只是荣誉市长，但它的名气确是实实在在的。很多媒体前往报道它的故事，各地游客也接连慕名到访。
