A New York boy and his cat, a principal and her dog - and lasers.
一名紐約男孩與他的貓，一位校長與她的狗──還有雷射。
They all came together in teenager Draven Rodriguez’s senior portrait, which ended up with him holding his cat, Mr. Bigglesworth, and Schenectady High School principal Diane Wilkinson holding her Chihuahua, Vivienne.
這些全都要一起出現在少年德拉文‧羅德里格斯的高三肖像照上。這張照片最後呈現的畫面是，德拉文抱著他的貓畢格斯沃斯先生，以及斯克內克塔迪高中校長黛安‧維金森抱著她的吉娃娃薇薇安。
The 16-year-old had originally wanted his senior yearbook portrait to show him holding his cat, with lasers in the background. He posted the photo on the Internet, and it went viral.
這名16歲少年原希望他畢業紀念冊上的肖像照，是他抱著他的貓，然後背景有雷射。他將這張照片貼上網際網路，結果被瘋傳。
The school denied his request but said the photo could appear somewhere in the yearbook.
校方拒絕他的要求，但說這張照片可出現在畢業紀念冊上的其他地方。
Wilkinson got in on the act, and school district officials say the portrait with the two pet owners will appear on the principal’s yearbook page. It’ll be used to raise awareness for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and rescue animals. (AP)
維金森校長便共襄盛舉，學區官員也說，這張有兩名寵物飼主的肖像照，會出現在畢業紀念冊中屬於校長的頁面。該照片會被用來讓更多人了解「美國禁止殘忍對待動物學會」以及動物救援相關事宜。（美聯社）
