What's the advantage of having a guide horse rather than a guide dog?
易游app:文字稿
The horse arriving on platform 1 is about to make history. Because while the odd one has travelled in a guard's van, no horse, to our knowledge, has ever ridden in a passenger carriage.
到达一号站台的这匹马即将创造历史。虽然有个别的马匹曾荣登火车后部的守卫车厢，但就我们所知，没有一匹马曾踏上过旅客车厢。
Digby's new owner is Helena from London. She's a regular commuter on the Underground, and having seen guide horses used in America, she'd like to do so here.
迪格比的新主人是来自伦敦的海伦娜。她平时坐地铁上下班，她了解到在美国有人用马导盲，于是想在英国实践一下。
Compared to the short career of a guide dog, a working horse can be with owner for 30 years.
与导盲犬短暂的职业生涯相比，一匹工作的马可陪伴主人三十年。
Helena, Digby's owner
Guide dogs are fantastic animals but it’s good to have choice. And a horse can be trained and they enjoy working. And they’re great companions. So, why not?
海伦娜? ? ?“导盲马” 迪格比的主人
“导盲犬很棒，不过能有选择是好事。马可以接受训练，也很喜欢工作。它们也是很好的同伴。所以，有何不可呢？”
20-month-old Digby was especially bred for this very job by Katy at her stables in Northallerton. This metro journey is a trial to see if he can hack it. He seems to be coping with the movement better than our cameraman.
二十个月大的迪格比是凯蒂在诺斯阿勒顿的马厩里专门培育出来的。这次地铁之旅是为了测试迪格比能否成功地经受乘车考验。在颠簸的车厢里，他应对得似乎比我们的摄像师要好。
Katy Smith, Digby’s trainer
I thought he would be good. I thought he would take it all in his stride but this is like, yeah, it’s the first time ever… and I’m speechless to be fair.
凯蒂·史密斯? ? ?“导盲马” 迪格比的训练师
“我知道他能做得很好。我知道他能从容以对，虽然这是他第一次乘车，但表现让我无话可说。”
Commuter 1
What’s a horse doing on the metro? I've never seen that before...
通勤者 1
“马在地铁上干什么？这我从来没见过…”
Commuter 2
I think it’s a good idea myself. Yeah, it’s a change….
通勤者 2
“我个人觉得这是个好主意。对，这是个改变…”
Commuter 3
It’s a horse, isn’t it? Should be in a field not a train …
通勤者 3
“这是匹马，对吧？马应该在田地里，而不是在列车上…”
So apart from the odd naysayer, people seem generally positive. Transport for London say they’ll be monitoring Digby’s progress.
除了个别爱唱反调的人以外，大家普遍对 “导盲马” 比较认可。伦敦交通局表示，他们将密切关注迪格比的发展。
Katy Smith, Digby’s trainer
Good boy!
凯蒂·史密斯? ? ?“导盲马” 迪格比的训练师
