春暖花開好心情：抱着花枝微笑的萌睡鼠

Have you heard the one about the mouse who walked into the yarrow flower? No? Well, this little fellow has... and he thinks it's very, very funny.
你有沒有聽說過喜歡耆草花的老鼠？沒有吧，我們的這隻小傢伙貌似是哦！而且他覺得非常有趣。

The tiny dormouse could not suppress his delight that spring has finally come when he got to the top of this blossom.
這隻可愛的小睡鼠爬到了花朵的頂部，春天終於到來了，小傢伙也抑制不住自己內心的歡喜。

Quivering with glee, the little giggler threw back his head, thrust his whiskers in the air and let out a hearty chuckle.
小睡鼠開心得身體微微顫抖，後仰着腦袋，嘴上的小鬍鬚在空氣中抖動着，發出了發自內心的輕聲笑。

That, or the unfortunate rodent was allergic to the flower's pollen brought out by the changing seasons and was just about to sneeze.
不過也有可能是季節交替，這個小傢伙因爲對花粉過敏想要打噴嚏。

In any case, he certainly looks like he is having a squeal of a time as he basks in the Italian countryside, bathed in the springtime sun.
不管是哪種情況，在意大利郊外沐浴在春日的陽光裏，這隻小睡鼠看起來像是要發出一聲尖叫的樣子。

The amusing photograph, taken by Italian photographer Andrea Zampatti, 28, in Italy, who lay in wait for days on end waiting for the perfect shot. And as this hilarious picture shows, it was well worth the wait.
這張有趣的照片由28歲的意大利攝影師Andrea Zampatti拍攝，他在當地蹲守了好幾天終於拍到了最完美的照片。這張歡樂的照片的確值得等待。

Due to loss of habitat, dormice are now rarely seen. They are nocturnal creatures and grow to up to 6.5in in length, weigh about seven ounces and can live up to five years.
由於棲息地越來越少，現在已經很少能看到睡鼠了。睡鼠們常在夜間活動，身體可以長到6.5英寸長7盎司重，壽命可以活到5年。

They have an excellent sense of hearing, are omnivorous and feed on fruits, berries, flowers, nuts and insects.
睡鼠們聽覺甚佳，屬於雜食動物，常以水果、漿果、花朵、堅果和昆蟲爲生。

During hibernation, they usually sleep in a tightly woven nest on the ground, often in a pile of leaves - as they like the damp and cool conditions.
睡鼠們會冬眠，他們經常會睡在地面上緊密暖和的窩裏，通常會是在一堆樹葉裏。睡鼠們喜歡潮溼陰涼的居住環境。
