AZUZ: It might not seem to unbelievable to hear that a bulldog recently chased some bears off a family`s porch. Here`s the kicker: it`s French bulldog. A 20-pounder versus¹ three young bears, one of them estimated to be a 100-pounder.

听到一只斗牛犬在主人家的院子里追逐一些熊，这似乎可能难以置信。需要附加说明的是：它是一只法国斗牛犬。体重为20磅对三只幼熊。其中一只幼熊体重估计都有100磅左右。

The owner of this home in Southern California says bears often come down from the foothills in search of food and that some neighbors actually break the law and feed them. But Jewels, the French bulldog, guard dog, and now bear dog, is an unbearable² and un-bear-livable embarrassment³ to bears.

该房子位于美国南加州，其主人表示：这些熊们通常从山脚下来寻找食物，实际上，一些邻居们违反法律并且给它们食物。但是Jewels，这只法国斗牛犬，守卫犬，现在是犬熊，对于熊们而言是一种难以忍受的尴尬和难堪。

It`s totally un-bear the way she brings to bear a bear-ocious attitude on her new er-signment (ph).

她以一种霸气的的姿态吓跑了这三只倒霉的幼熊。
