新奇床中床，让你舒服地和宠物一起睡

 　　Of course you want to sleep with your pet. She is cuddly¹ and warm and (usually) takes up less room than a human.

　　你当然想和你的宠物一起睡啦，它那么可爱，又暖和，（通常）还比人占地儿少。

　　But the sad truth is that sharing the bed with your cat or dog is bad for your sleep: Research shows the animals disrupt quality sleep with incessant² whimpers, meows or physical movement from dreams. They can also trigger allergic³ reactions.

　　但现实总是残酷的，和你的猫猫狗狗同床共枕并不利于你的睡眠：研究显示，动物一晚上都会不时地哼哼叫，还会因为做梦动来动去，这会影响到你的睡眠质量。它们还可能会引起过敏反应。

　　While science says pets need to stay off the top of your mattress⁴ at nighttime, it doesn't specifically say anything about the side of the mattress. And here lies the solution. Brazilian company Colch?o Inteligente Postural⁵ designed a bed with an interior compartment⁶ for your furry⁷ friend in the boxspring, so you can sleep soundly knowing your pet is only inches away.

　　虽然从科学的角度讲，宠物晚上不能躺在你的床垫上，但也没说不能躺在床垫边上嘛。那就有解决办法了。巴西公司Colch?o Inteligente Postural设计了一张床，床的弹簧床垫里面带有一个给宠物住的隔间，这样你的宠物就能睡在附近，你也可以安心睡觉了。

　　The pet bed is outfitted⁸ with a fancy set of curtains and a soft, silky comforter, promising⁹ only the best for your very best friend.

　　宠物床配有漂亮的床帘和一张丝绸般柔软的被子，只为你最好的朋友准备最好的。

　　As you can see, your pet's bed is in close proximity¹⁰ to where you sleep, meaning it'll be easy to reach down and offer a generous belly¹¹ rub without getting out from under the covers.

　　可以看到，宠物床的位置非常靠近你睡的地方，也就是说你不钻出被子也能很容易够到下面去挠宠物的肚子。

　　The compartment is incredibly discreet¹² and much more sleek¹³ than those cumbersome¹⁴ pet beds that take up space on many pet owners' bedroom floors.

　　隔间的设计十分周到，比那些笨重的宠物床好看多了，也不会在主人的房间里占很大一块地方。

　　Undoubtedly¹⁵, this is the next best thing to having your little pal¹⁶ curled up in the sheets with you.

　　毫无疑问，要是想跟宠物一起睡，这就是你的下一个最佳选择。
