At 6:11 a.m. on 6/11, Deucy was born. Aside from her perfectly timed birth date, what makes this feline so special is her unusual facial characteristic: Deucy has four eyes, two noses and two mouths.
小貓迪西出生于6月11號(hào)早晨6點(diǎn)11分。小貓的特別之處除了出生時(shí)間外,還在于它奇異的面部特征:迪西有四只眼睛,兩只鼻子和兩張嘴。
The two-faced kitten made her debut this week in Amity, Ore. After the birth, pet owner Stephanie Durkee took the rare kitty to her local veterinarian, who determined that, despite Deucy's facial abnormality, her organs are intact and in good condition, local news outlet NWCN reports.
當(dāng)?shù)匦侣劽襟w美國(guó)西北有線新聞報(bào)道,這只雙面貓出生于俄勒岡州阿米蒂市,主人斯蒂芬妮-德基將這只罕見(jiàn)的貓咪帶到當(dāng)?shù)孬F醫(yī)診所,經(jīng)檢查,盡管迪西面部怪異,但體內(nèi)器官完整健康。
While the birth of a two-faced kitten -- often called a Janus cat -- is rare, it has happened before. A black cat with two faces, who was aptly named Harvey Dent, was welcomed into the world in February 2012, but died two days later due to complications. In July, another two-faced kitten, this one named Gemini, also died within days of his birth, likely because he had issues eating with two tracheas and one throat.
雙面貓又稱雅努斯貓(雅努斯,羅馬神話中的雙面神),盡管極其罕見(jiàn),但以前也出曾現(xiàn)過(guò)。2012年2月,一只根據(jù)《蝙蝠俠》中的雙面人哈維·丹特取名的黑色雙面貓降生,但由于并發(fā)癥在出生兩天后夭折。同年7月,另一只叫做雙子座的雙面貓出生,但出生不久也死了,可能是由于同時(shí)用兩個(gè)氣管和一個(gè)喉嚨進(jìn)食造成死亡。
Since the odd facial characteristic is often coupled with other abnormalities, two-faced cats do not tend to survive for very long. However, that's not to say that Janus cats can't defy the odds.

In 2011, two-headed cat Frankelouie was inducted into the Guinness Book of World Records when he turned 12, the longest a Janus cat is known to have lived.
2011年,一只雙頭貓?jiān)谒?2歲時(shí)被記入吉尼斯世界記錄,成為已知壽命最長(zhǎng)的雅努斯貓。
Given Deucy's good health conditions, Durkee is optimistic that the special kitty will live a long life.
