英语高手请帮忙翻译一下下面这篇文章:
随着人们生活水平的提高,养宠物的人是越来越多了!对于这一社会现象,不同的人持有不同的观点。
一种观点认为,养宠物的好处多。例如,可以给主人一定的精神寄托,使主人不再感到孤独;可以经常带着宠物上街遛遛,增强运动,放松自己;还可以培养人的爱心,使人与自然、人与动物更加和谐,增加结交朋友的机会。
另一种观点认为,养宠物的坏处多。例如,宠物身上的异味、宠物的粪便和脱落的毛发等都会影响卫生,还可能传染疾病;
另外,从经济上来说,养宠物还会造成浪费。有些宠物的价格本身就很高,还要吃一些高价食品,这在一定程度上是否会浪费社会的财力和物力呢?
我认为,虽然养宠物有一些好处,但总的来说还是坏处多,对此现象不应加以提倡。
