Darius, who measures over four feet long and weighs in at a whopping three and a half stone, is officially the world's biggest rabbit.
達(dá)瑞斯，身長(zhǎng)超過(guò)1.2米，體重超過(guò)22公斤，一直是世界最大兔子的紀(jì)錄保持者。

But his title is now being contended by his son Jeff, who already measures 3ft 8in - with six months left of growing to do.
但是，最近達(dá)瑞斯遇到了一個(gè)強(qiáng)勁的對(duì)手—他的兒子杰夫，雖然杰夫還有六個(gè)月的生長(zhǎng)期，但現(xiàn)在他身長(zhǎng)已經(jīng)超過(guò)1.1米了。

The rabbits' owner, Annette Edwards, 63, from Bromsgrove, says she looks forward to the day when Jeff dwarfs his father.
巨兔父子的主人，是來(lái)自英國(guó)布羅姆斯格羅夫今年63歲的安妮特·愛(ài)德華茲，她說(shuō)自己很期待杰夫超過(guò)自己父親的那一天。

It costs her ￡5,000 a year to feed her giant bunnies as they munch their way through 2,000 carrots and 700 apples.
安妮特為了巨兔父子一年要花費(fèi)5000英鎊，兩只兔子一年要吃掉2000根胡蘿卜和700個(gè)蘋(píng)果。

The pair both also eat a huge dog bowl full of specialist rabbit food every day, and a bale of hay a week.
除此之外它倆每天還會(huì)吃下一大盆的特質(zhì)兔糧，每周能吃完一捆干草。

Ms Edwards said: 'Although the pair of them are huge, they're the best animal friends I could ask for.
安妮特說(shuō)：“雖然它倆體型很大，但卻是非常合適的寵物朋友?！?/div>

'They are both very laid back and chilled out - Jeff really takes after his Dad. Most rabbits like lots of attention and get on well with children and these two are no exception.
“杰夫繼承了達(dá)瑞斯的溫順和好脾氣，大部分兔子都喜歡受到關(guān)注、都能和孩子們友好地相處，杰夫和達(dá)瑞斯也不例外?！?/div>

'They're even friendly to other animals! Jeff's best friend is my other pet, a boxer dog called Kay.'
“它倆對(duì)其他動(dòng)物也很友好，杰夫最好的朋友是我的一只名叫凱的寵物狗?！?/div>

Jeff was born after Ms Edwards introduced Darius to one of her other rabbits Sally - another Continental Giant who measures 3ft 5 inches.
杰夫是在安妮特把另一只身長(zhǎng)1米的巨兔薩莉介紹給達(dá)瑞斯之后出生的。

The family all live in her back garden but they are so big that they each require a dog crate that would normally house a pet as large as German shepherd.
這一家三口都住在安妮特的花園里，但是因?yàn)樗鼈凅w型巨大，所以它們每一只都需要一個(gè)平時(shí)用來(lái)裝德國(guó)牧羊犬那么大的狗窩。

Annette added: 'Darius was always big but Jeff is huge considering he's still a baby. I'm expecting him to grow much bigger than his dad.
安妮特說(shuō)：“達(dá)瑞斯體型一直都很大，但杰夫還只是個(gè)兔寶寶，所以我希望它能夠超過(guò)達(dá)瑞斯?！?/div>

'As soon as I think he's made it, he'll be measured by his vet and then Guinness will certify that he is the biggest rabbit in the world.
“那一天一旦來(lái)到，我就會(huì)請(qǐng)獸醫(yī)過(guò)來(lái)給杰夫測(cè)量，之后吉尼斯世界紀(jì)錄就會(huì)確認(rèn)杰夫?yàn)樾碌氖澜缟献畲蟮耐米?。?/div>

'Even though they're so big, they are very low upkeep. They really do look after themselves most of the time.
“父子倆雖然身形都很大，但保養(yǎng)費(fèi)用無(wú)需太多，因?yàn)樗鼈兇蟛糠謺r(shí)間都能夠自己照顧好自己。”

'They run free in the garden during the day and at night go to sleep in their cosy crates. They never make a mess and actually would be great house rabbits.
“它們白天在花園里隨意奔跑，晚上就回到自己舒適的小窩里睡覺(jué)。它們很講衛(wèi)生，是非常棒的家養(yǎng)兔。”

'Although when they start to moult at the end of the summer, they need a good daily brush.
“當(dāng)然每到夏末的時(shí)候它們會(huì)褪毛，這時(shí)候就要經(jīng)常為它們進(jìn)行梳理?！?/div>

'And being the world's biggest rabbit, and his son, they've got a giant appetite to match.
“達(dá)瑞斯是目前世界上最大的兔子，與此相匹配的是它的好食欲，杰夫也一樣?！?/div>
