Those born just a year ago are about the size of a St. Bernard dog.

而一年前出生的那些则有圣伯纳德犬怎么大了。

Although Saint Bernards are no longer used for rescue work, they do still hold the world record for heaviest dog-a certain show dog, Benedictine, weighed in at 343 pounds!

虽然现在圣伯纳德犬已经不再用作救援犬了，它们仍旧保持着世界最重犬类的记录——其中作为表演狗的圣本铎犬，重达343磅。

The Saint Bernard is a large hearty dog that has been living in the Swiss Alps since ancient Romans brought its ancestors there thousands of years ago.

圣伯纳德犬是一种体型庞大、忠心耿耿的狗狗，它们自从几千年前罗马人将它们的祖先带到阿尔卑斯山后就一直生活在那里，名字取自圣伯纳德修道院。

The most famous alpine-rescue Saint Bernard was named Barry, and he’s credited with saving between fifty and 100 people during his tenure as a rescue dog.

其实最著名的圣伯纳德犬叫Barry，在它作为救援犬期间，共救助过50到100人，它十分受人喜爱，即使是去世后，人们为了纪念它在Le Cimetière des Chiens，法国一个狗狗墓地，建起一座纪念碑。
