双语：袋鼠数量突破4500万 澳洲呼吁民众多吃袋鼠肉
[size=4][color=#444444][font=Tahoma,]在全球倡导保护野生动物，少吃肉食来保护环境的同时，澳洲却鼓励人们捕杀袋鼠，呼吁大家多吃袋鼠肉，只因为澳洲的袋鼠实在太多了，已经泛滥成灾。据说袋鼠肉营养丰富，低脂肪、低胆固醇、蛋白质比兔肉还丰富，口感和牛肉有点相似，膻味很重。好这一口的澳洲人真是有福了。[/font][/color][align=center][attach]21350[/attach][/align]

[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,] In 2010, there were around 27 million, with the huge rise in numbers considered to be due to environmental factors, with high rainfall resulting in more food for the kangaroos.[/font][/color]
[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,] 2010年，澳洲有约2700万只袋鼠。袋鼠数量大增被认为是环境因素导致的，丰富的降水给袋鼠们带来了更多的食物。[/font][/color]

[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,] 专家现在鼓励澳洲人捕猎袋鼠来降低袋鼠数量。[/font][/color]
[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,] Associate Professor David Paton, from the University of Adelaide, said Australians needed to embrace kangaroo meat to avoid wasting their carcasses once they are culled.[/font][/color]
[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,] 阿德莱德大学的副教授戴维•帕顿说，澳洲人需要吃更多袋鼠肉，避免袋鼠被杀死后肉被浪费掉。[/font][/color]
[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,] He told ABC News: "If we're going to cull these animals we do it humanely, but we also perhaps should think about what we might use the animals that are killed for."[/font][/color]
[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,] 他告诉澳大利亚广播公司新闻节目说：“如果我们要捕杀袋鼠，我们会采用人道的方式，但或许我们也该想想被杀掉的袋鼠可以做什么用。”[/font][/color]
[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,] He added: “We shouldn’t just simply leave them out in paddocks to rot or leave them in the reserves to rot.”[/font][/color]

[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,] 帕顿教授还警告说，数量庞大的袋鼠会对生物多样性构成威胁。[/font][/color]
[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,] “It’s not the kangaroos’ fault they’re overabundant, it’s probably we’ve just been too reluctant to take a stick to them, remove them out of the system sooner, to actually prevent the damage being caused," he said.[/font][/color]
[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,] 他说：“袋鼠数量过多并不是袋鼠的错，很可能只是我们懒得去制约它们，没有早点把过多的袋鼠从生态系统中除去来预防损害。”[/font][/color][/size]
