问题: 2句话。请老师翻译全句并解释难点。
1.The appetite the dog world has for my ideas has been obvious throughout this time. Wherever I may be in the world, there are invariably four times as many dog owners and trainers as there are horse trainers at my demonstrations.
截自一段文章。难点：for my ideas和four times as many……as是何意。我似乎觉得应该是in my ideas吧，就像in my view。
2.Jan feels a deep sense of injustice at the way man has sometimes maltreated an animal he claims to call his friend
难点：claim to call。如果是“声称”的意思，那直接用claim好了，为啥这样麻烦还加个to call？
解答:
1.for my ideas作了后置处理，离开了其修饰的对象：The appetite ，原顺序：The appetite for my ideas the dog world has.
four times as many……as狗的主人和训狗师的人数四倍于训马师
2.to call his friend 意：称为朋友，he claims to call his friend 他认养的口口声声称之为朋友的（可以这样理解：claim有认领之意）
Jan深深感到一种不公平感，因为人类有时虐待言必称为自己朋友的动物
