　　The lesser known of New York’s canine heroes, comfort dogs, such as this golden retriever, help soothe those affected by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Similar to search-and-rescue dogs, comfort dogs travel to disaster scenes to aid relief efforts. Studies show that people experience physiological changes- such as a drop in heart rate and blood pressure- when they pet animals.

　　图中这只金毛是纽约那些不太出名的犬类英雄中的一员，它们帮助人们缓解“911”的恐怖袭击造成的痛苦，被称为“安慰犬”(注)。与搜救犬相仿，安慰犬常前往灾难现场以协助救援工作。据研究表明，当人们爱抚宠物的时候，可以产生降低心率和血压等生理变化。
　　
　　注：似乎翻译成“慰安犬”更贴切和容易理解，但我不想拿“慰安妇”这个严肃的历史事件开玩笑。
