Genetic researchers in China have made a clone of a a star police dog.

中国的遗传学研究人员已经克隆出一只明星警犬。

The clone was born in a laboratory in Beijing in December.

克隆体于去年12月在北京的一个实验室诞生。

Tests show that the clone and her mother are almost identical genetically.

测试表明，克隆体和她的母亲在基因上几乎是相同的。

The mother dog helped solve multiple murders and many other crimes.

这只母狗帮助破获了多起谋杀案和其他许多罪案。

The clone has already performed better than traditionally bred dogs on several tests.

在几项测试中，克隆犬的表现已经好于传统饲养的狗。

If the clone continues to perform as well as expected, it could mean a huge reduction in the training time for police dogs, which usually takes about five years.

如果克隆犬继续表现得像预期的那样好，这可能意味着警犬的训练时间将大大缩短，通常需要5年左右的时间。

The ultimate goal of scientists is to produce clones of talented police dogs that can be trained in months instead of years.

科学家的最终目标是生产出能干的警犬克隆体，这些警犬可以在数月而不是数年内接受训练。

However, this goal is not yet possible due to the current costs of the technology.

然而，由于目前技术的成本，这一目标还无法实现。

This is not the first time a clone has been made of a star police dog.

这已经不是第一次克隆出明星警犬了。

In South Korea, six clones began working with the police in 2008.

在韩国，六个克隆人从2008年开始与警方合作。
