  Disneyland may look like a straightforward theme park. But there is a secret world hidden behind the balloons, castles and cotton candy ? a place where wild cats roam the park at midnight, Mickey Mouse hides in the wallpaper and movie stars sip martinis behind closed doors.

  迪士尼看上去像是一个主题公园,但是在气球、城堡和卡通像后面隐藏了一个神秘的世界―那里午夜有野猫在公园散步,米老鼠藏在墙纸后面,一些电影明星在门后喝着马丁尼。

  It is not easy keeping the grounds of Disneyland utterly spotless and free of unwanted pests.

  把迪士尼打造成一个无可挑剔的乐园不是一件容易的事情。

  Every night after closing time, 200 feral cats are released into the park to help keep the rodent population under control.

  每晚闭园后都会有200只野猫被放出来,帮助控制园内的啮齿动物。

  Though Disney does not comment on the matter, rumour has it that the feline taskforce dates back to 1957, when renovations to Sleeping Beauty Castle revealed a colony of more than 100 stray cats.

  虽然迪士尼没有正式说明这一事实,但有关猫科动物爪印的传闻从1957年开始流传,当时正在革新睡美人,发现了100多只流浪猫。

  After unsuccessful attempts to chase them out of the park, Disney decided to put the cats to work instead.

  当试图把这些流浪猫赶出迪士尼失败后,迪士尼公司决定让流浪猫在公园工作。
