An Animal Shelter▼ that Only Hires Homeless Animal Lovers　　這裡，讓愛不流浪

by Ivy Liu

One place is forging▼ a new path to new homes with unconditional love and patience.
一個地方正在開創一條新的道路，通往充滿無條件的愛與耐心的新家園。

　　Glenn Greenwald might not be a household name▼ to some readers, but his work should be recognizable to most. The Pulitzer prize-winning journalist▼ is best known for his reporting in The Guardian on classified▼ documents provided by Edward Snowden. _(1)_ On top of his illustrious▼ career, Greenwald set his sights on opening a shelter for abandoned animals in Rio de Janeiro with his husband, David Miranda. _(2)_ They unveiled a brilliant plan back in May 2017. _(3)_
　　If you were initially taken aback by their decision, you might have to reevaluate▼ your reaction. Money does not define a person's worth or their capacity, nor does it make a person less deserving of love. Some homeless people always provide food for their dog first over themselves. _(4)_ Many times, their pets are their only friends and companions, giving and receiving unconditional love. _(5)_ Based on these examples, homeless people make perfect candidates to take care of abandoned pets. As of July 2017, the shelter was being crowdfunded▼ due to economic difficulties in Brazil, but it already had its first employee to develop the shelter: 20-year-old Lucas Mendes. Hopefully, Greenwald and Miranda's vision will help get more animals and homeless people off the street and into a nurturing▼ environment.

(A) Both are huge animal lovers, and as a result of their rescue efforts, they have adopted 23 furry members into their family.
(B) They will even forgo receiving services they need because the conditions require giving up their furry companion.
(C) The plan was to employ homeless people who lived on the streets with their pets to care for the animals at the shelter.
(D) Crowdfunding is the practice of funding a project or venture by raising monetary contributions from a large number of people.
(E) He was even portrayed by Zachary Quinto in the 2016 Oliver Stone movie, Snowden.
(F) With their pets, they feel less depressed and their will to live is reinforced by taking care of them.

這裡，讓愛不流浪
一個地方正在開創一條新的道路，通往充滿無條件的愛與耐心的新家園。

　　對於某些讀者而言，葛倫•葛林華德或許不是一位家喻戶曉的人物，但大多數人應該都認得他的作品。這位曾獲普立茲獎的新聞記者因在《衛報》上刊登了由愛德華•史諾登提供的機密文件而盛名遠播。柴克瑞•恩杜甚至在奧利佛•史東於 2016 年執導的電影《神鬼駭客：史諾登》中飾演他。除了輝煌的生涯以外，葛林華德與他的丈夫大衛•米蘭達決定在里約熱內盧為被遺棄的動物開設一間收容所。他們兩人非常熱愛動物，而且由於他們的救援行動，他們已經領養了二十三隻毛茸茸的家庭成員。他們在 2017 年的五月揭露了一項絕妙的計畫。這項計畫是要僱用和寵物一同露宿街頭的街友，讓他們在收容所照顧動物。
　　倘若你起初會因為他們的決定感到吃驚，你可能必須重新評估你的反應。金錢不能定義一個人的價值或能力，也不會讓某人較不值得被愛。有些遊民總是先把食物讓給他們的狗狗。他們甚至會放棄接受自己所需要的服務，因為種種條件需要他們放棄那些毛茸茸的夥伴。許多時候，他們的寵物是他們唯一的朋友與同伴，給予並接受他們無條件的愛。有了他們的寵物，他們感到不那麼憂愁，而且他們的求生意志也因為要照顧牠們而增強。根據這些例子，遊民成為照料遭遺棄寵物的理想人選。自 2017 年七月起，由於巴西的經濟困難，這間收容所接受群眾集資，但它已經有了第一位員工可以幫助發展該收容所：現年二十歲的盧卡斯•曼德斯。希望葛林華德和米蘭達的願景會幫助更多動物與無家可歸的人離開街頭，並進入有助於他們身心發展的環境。
