是誰殺了狒狒?從狒死爭議學習英文單字片語

一隻於桃園市流竄多時的東非狒狒,日前經桃園市農業局圍捕,被麻醉槍擊中後,終於順利捕獲,但發現狒狒身上竟有不明槍傷,導致牠不久後即宣告死亡。後來有一位林姓獵人承認開槍,但是誰授意獵人開槍還在調查中。那麼「狒狒」的英文該怎麼說?快跟我們一起學起來!

 

Lucy: Did you see the news? An escaped baboon was captured in Taoyuan City.
露西:你看到新聞了嗎?一隻逃脫的狒狒在桃園市被捕獲。

Kate: Yes, I did. But the poor baboon died from the gunshot wounds.
凱特:有,我有看到。但那隻可憐的狒狒死於槍傷。

Lucy: The baboon hasn’t harmed any humans during its wandering.
露西:那隻狒狒在遊蕩期間沒有傷害到任何人。

Kate: Yes. A legally licensed hunter surnamed Lin has admitted that he fired the shot that killed the baboon. He said he received consent from a person claiming to represent the Taoyuan Department of Agriculture before firing, who he only later discovered was a veterinarian from the Leofoo Village.
凱特:是的。一位林姓合法持證獵人承認他開槍打死狒狒。他說他在開槍前得到一名自稱桃園農業局代表的人的同意,後來他才發現那個人是六福村的獸醫。

Lucy: However, Leofoo Village rejected Lin’s claim and said it would sue him.
露西:然而,六福村駁回了林的說法,還表示會起訴他。

Kate: What is the truth? I’m bewildered.
凱特:真相是什麼?我很困惑。
