展开全文

She had been suffering fromleukaemiaand liver disease and died on 24 May.

Kabosu 患有白血病和肝病，于 5 月 24 日去世。

"She quietly passed away as if asleep while I caressed her," Atsuko Satowrote on her blog, thanking Kabosu's fans.

“在我抚摸它的时候，它安静地离开了人世，就像睡着了一样，”Kabosu 的主人佐藤敦子在博客上写道，并感谢了 Kabosu 的粉丝们。

"I think Kabo-chan was the happiest dog in the world. And I was the happiest owner."

“我认为 Kabosu 是世界上最幸福的狗狗。而我也是最幸福的主人。”

As a rescue dog, Kabosu's real birthday was unknown, but Ms Sato estimated her age at 18.

作为一只救助犬，Kabosu的真实生日不得而知，但佐藤女士估计它的年龄为 18 岁。

In 2010, two years after adopting Kabosu from a puppy mill where she would otherwise have been put down, Ms Sato, a teacher from Sakura, east of Tokyo, took a picture of her pet crossing her paws on the sofa.

2010年，来自东京东部佐仓市的教师佐藤女士从一家小狗饲养场收养了Kabosu，两年后，她拍摄了一张宠物在沙发上交叉双爪的照片。

She posted the image on her blog, from where it spread to online forum Reddit and became a meme that bounced from college bedrooms to office email chains.

她把这张照片发到了自己的博客上，然后传到了网络论坛Reddit上，并成为从大学寝室到办公室电子邮件链中都在流行的表情包。

The memes typically used goofy broken English to reveal the inner thoughts of Kabosu and other shiba inu "doge" - pronounced like pizza "dough" but with a "j" at the end.

这些表情包通常用蹩脚的英语来标示Kabosu和其他柴犬“doge”的内心想法，“doge”的发音类似于披萨的面团“dough”，但后面加了一个 “j”的音。

启发了“狗狗币”的诞生

The picture also later became an NFT digital artwork that sold for $4m (£3.1m) and inspired Dogecoin, which was started as a joke by two software engineers and is now the eighth-most valuable cryptocurrency, with a market capitalisation of $23bn.

这幅图后来还成为了NFT数字艺术品，以400万美元（310万英镑）的价格售出，并激发了 “狗狗币”（Dogecoin）的灵感，“狗狗币”是由两名软件工程师以开玩笑的方式创办的，现在是第八大最有价值的加密货币，市值达230亿美元。

Dogecoin has been backed by hip-hop star Snoop Dogg and Kiss bassist Gene Simmons.

“狗狗币”得到了嘻哈明星史努比·狗狗（Snoop Dogg）和 Kiss乐队的贝斯手吉恩·西蒙斯（Gene Simmons）的支持。

But its most keen supporter is billionaire Elon Musk, who jokes about the currency on X - sending its value soaring - and hails it as "the people's crypto".

但它最狂热的支持者是亿万富翁埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk），他在X上拿这种货币开玩笑，使其价值飙升，并称赞它是“人们的加密货币”。

Kabosu fell ill with leukaemia and liver disease in late 2022, and Ms Sato said in a recent interview with AFP that the "invisible power" of prayers from fans worldwide helped her pull through.

2022年末，Kabosu患上了白血病和肝病，佐藤女士最近在接受法新社采访时说，来自全球粉丝的“无形力量”帮助Kabosu渡过了难关。

Ms Sato, 62, said she had become so used to "unbelievable" events that when Mr Musk changed the icon for Twitter, now X, to Kabosu's face last year, she "wasn't even that surprised".

62岁的佐藤女士说，她已经对“不可思议”的事件习以为常，以至于去年马斯克把Twitter 的图标（即现在的“X”）换成Kabosu的脸时，她“都没有那么惊讶”。

A $100,000 statue of Kabosu and her sofa crowdfunded by Own The Doge, a crypto organisation dedicated to the meme, was unveiled in a park in Sakura in November last year.

去年 11 月，由致力于纪念Kabosu的加密货币组织Own The Doge集资10万美元建造的Kabosu和它的沙发的雕像在佐仓市的公园揭幕。

Sato and Own The Doge have also donated large sums to international charities, including more than $1m to Save the Children. The NGO says it is "the single largest crypto contribution" it has ever received.

佐藤和Own The Doge还向国际慈善机构捐赠了大笔资金，包括向救助儿童会（Save the Children）捐赠了 100多万美元。该非政府组织称，这是它收到的“最大一笔加密货币捐款”。

希望Kabosu在汪星也要继续开心啊！再见啦，Kabosu！
