A Philadelphia cat has become an Internet star after surprising her owners by teaching herself to play the piano.

参考译文

费城的一只猫因自学弹钢琴而让主人大吃一惊,之后,它成了互联网上的明星。

这只名叫诺拉的猫通过观察主人贝斯蒂·亚历山大给学生上钢琴课学会了弹钢琴,这种情况已经持续将近两年了。

钢琴教师贝斯蒂·亚历山大和她丈夫说,当他们意识到诺拉真的具有音乐天分时,他们大为震惊。

“来到这里大约一年后,它开始弹钢琴。我根本没有教它,”亚历山大说,“诺拉弹琴时总是坐在椅子上。它老是在我教学生时霸着钢琴,最后我不得不把椅子拽走。”

大约三周前,亚历山大把诺拉弹钢琴的视频贴到了YouTube的网站上,从此诺拉名声大噪。

到目前为止,这段视频已经被点击了65万多次,世界各地的电子邮件蜂拥而至。“它一夜成名,我们也觉得很有趣。”她说。然而,亚历山大觉得,诺拉的粉丝们还不能指望它很快就进行巡回演出。
