小高：没错！我最近老在网上看一些视频，一个叫Jamil的住在马拉西亚的男人拍的。他是一个动物爱好者，平时救助动物，比如那些被遗弃的流浪猫流浪狗什么的，而且还救援猴子。他家正好养着两只猪尾猴，他把它们当孩子养呢。
JJ:So you bought clothes for them? I didn’t know monkeys wear clothes.
京晶：所以你给他们买衣服了？我还真不知道猴子要穿衣服呢！
XG:Well, they don’t, but some monkey owners like to dress them up in clothes. I hope that the two monkeys will like the clothes I bought for them and I hope to see their new outfits 3 online soon.
小高：额，它们当然不穿啦，不过有些养猴子的人喜欢给它们穿上衣服，打扮一番。我希望两个小家伙能喜欢我给它们买的衣服，同时更希望能早点在网上看到它们穿上新装的样子。
