A wealthy Indian couple have made a pet monkey their sole heir, saying their lives became much happier after they get the animal and they want to ensure he is looked after.
一对印度的有钱夫妇使他们的宠物猴子成了他们唯一的财产继承人,他们说自从有了这只猴子之后,他们的生活过得幸福多了,所以他们想确保猴子能得到好的照顾。
Brajesh Srivastava and his wife Shabista have no children, but they view their pet monkey Chunmun as a son and have set up a trust to ensure the animal is looked after if it outlives them.
布拉杰什·斯利瓦斯塔瓦和他的妻子莎必斯塔没有孩子,但是他们把他们的宠物猴子春芒当做儿子,他们成立了一个信托基金来确保他们死后猴子能够得到好的照顾。
"People might say we are mad, they might even ridicule us. But we know how valuable Chunmun is to us," Shabista, 45, said."We are childless and Chunmun is a son to me. We want to ensure that even when we are not alive, Chunmun's life is not affected and he continues to live the way he does."
“也许有人会说我们疯了,他们甚至会嘲笑我们。但是我们知道春芒对我们来说意味着什么,” 45 岁的莎必斯塔说。“我们不是小孩,对于我来说,春芒就是我的儿子。我们在我们死后,春芒的生活也不会受到影响,他继续过着他现在的生活。”
The couple say they were poor when they got their monkey in 2004 but now they own the house where they live in Uttar Pradesh state in northern India, and they also have land and savings.
这对夫妇说他们 2004 年收养这只猴子的时候很穷,但是他们在现在居住的印度北部的北方邦拥有了自己的房子、土地,还有存款。
Shabista is a successful lawyer and her 48-year-old husband owns several businesses including a cable TV network and a flour mill -- all named after Chunmun.
莎必斯塔是一个成功的律师,她 48 岁的丈夫也有几处自己的生意,其中包括一个有线电视网络和四个厂矿,这些企业都是以春芒的名字命名的。
The monkey has his own air-conditioned room in the couple's house, which he shares with his "wife" -- a female simian named Bitti who the couple have also taken in.
在夫妇家,猴子拥有自己的空调房,这所房子是他与他“妻子”共有的,他的妻子是一只名叫比蒂的母猴子,也是被夫妇两收养的。
