英國一隻身份不明的小貓最近似乎迷戀上了乘坐公交車。在無人陪伴的情況下，它每週都要獨自乘坐幾次公交車，但至於它這樣做的原因卻沒有人知道。英國《每日郵報》９日撰文，講述了這只神秘小貓搭乘公交車的離奇故事。
獨自乘車
這只貓瞇全身雪白，一雙漂亮的大眼睛一隻藍色，一隻綠色，脖子上佩戴著一個紫色項圈。報道說，這只小貓行蹤古怪。從今年１月開始，它每星期都要獨自乘坐三四次從沃爾索爾開往伍爾弗漢普頓的３３１路公交車。但對於小貓搭乘順風車的緣由以及其真正身份，至今仍無人知曉。 令人不可思議的是，這只小貓似乎對３３１路公交車的路線瞭如指掌。雖然沒有主人陪伴，但它每次都在固定車站上下車。小貓上車的地方在丘吉爾路上的一個３３１路車站，站前有一排２０世紀５０年代建造、如今已經年久失修的破舊房子。到了相距４００米遠、同在丘吉爾路上的下個站點後，小貓下車。在它下車的這個站點，有不少賣炸魚和炸土豆條的店舖。 鋻於這只行為奇異的小貓與詩人Ｔ．Ｓ．艾略特筆下的貓瞇“麥卡維帝”一樣充滿神秘色彩，３３１路公交車的司機們給它取名“麥卡維帝”。
神秘現身
最早發現麥卡維帝搭乘公交車的，是３３１路公交車司機、現年４９歲的比爾·坎昆。 “這件事太古怪了。我第一次發現它時，它正隨著人群下車，但我並不知道它是什麼時候上來的，所以當時覺得有些迷惑不解，”坎昆說，“但第二天我在丘吉爾路進站停車時，剛一打開車門，就看見這只小貓跑過來，隨著人群輕而易舉跳上了車，一溜煙跑到了一個座椅下。” 據坎昆描述，小貓上下車動作輕快嫺熟，人們很難注意到它。 “我覺得很少有乘客會注意到這只貓，我之所以發現它，是因為之前親眼目睹它在這條路上從我的車上跳下去，所以當我開到這條路上時，我十分肯定它還會出現，”坎昆說，“我不知道它為什麼要乘坐３３１路公交車，但看上去它好像是能從中享受到無窮樂趣。我把這個發現告訴了３３１路公交車的其他司機，他們也都說曾遇見過這只神秘的小貓。”
引起關注
神秘小貓獨自搭乘公交車的離奇故事一經報道，就引起了英國公眾的熱切關注。不少人在網上就此事留言評論。 現年１９歲的保羅·布倫南每天都要乘坐３３１路公交車上下班，因此有幸目睹神秘小貓的廬山真面。他誇獎說：“幾個星期前，我第一次注意到它。起初，我認為它肯定有主人陪伴，但它下車時我才發現，原來它是獨自乘車。它安靜地坐著，耐心等候下車，在我看來，它簡直就是一個完美的乘客。” 署名瑪吉的一名英格蘭網友認為，這只小貓之所以會搭乘公交車，是因為它太聰明瞭，知道車站賣炸魚的店舖裏有它最喜愛的食物。 來自德比郡的網友羅伯特則表示出對司機的讚賞，認為“看到如今仍然有許多心地善良的共公交車司機令他感到欣慰”。同時他建議貓瞇的主人提供一些背景資訊。 普雷斯頓的格雷厄姆還與大家分享了一個類似故事。大約在２０世紀６０年代，格雷厄姆的親家有一條名為羅格的小獵犬。與麥卡維帝一樣，羅格也經常獨自乘坐公交車。（李曉晗）

English version

Bus drivers have nicknamed a white cat Macavity after it has started using the No 331 several mornings a week.

The feline, which has a purple collar, gets onto the busy Walsall to Wolverhampton bus at the same stop most mornings - he then jumps off at the next stop 400m down the road, near a fish and chip shop.

The cat was nicknamed Macavity after the mystery cat in T.S Elliot's poem. He gets on the bus in front of a row of 1950s semi-detached houses and jumps off at a row of shops down the road which include a fish and chip shop.

Driver Bill Khunkhun, 49, who first saw the cat jumping from the bus in January, said: "It is really odd, the first time I saw the cat jumping off the bus with a group of passengers. I hadn't seen it get on which was a bit confusing.

"The next day I pulled up on Churchill Road to let a couple of passengers on. As soon as I opened the doors the cat ran towards the bus, jumped on and ran under one of the seats, I don't think any of the passengers noticed.

"Because I had seen it jump off the day before I carried on driving and sure enough when I stopped just down the road he jumped off - I don't know why he would catch the bus but he seems to like it. I told some of the other drivers on this route and they have seen him too."

Since January, when the cat first caught the bus he has done it two or three times a week and always gets on and off at the same stops.

Passenger, Paul Brennan, 19, who catches the 331 to work, said: "I first noticed the cat a few weeks ago. At first I thought it had been accompanied by its owner but after the first stop it became quite clear he was on his own.

"He sat at the front of the bus, waited patiently for the next stop and then got off. It was was quite strange at first but now it just seems normal. I suppose he is the perfect passenger really - he sits quietly, minds his own business and then gets off."
