Lesson 110. Killing is no solution
第110課 屠殺并非解決之道
Two Australians, Mack and Jill, are camping on Kangaroo Island.
兩名澳洲人，梅克和吉爾，正在袋鼠島上露營。
M: Look! There's a koala hugging a tree. They're really so cute.
梅克：你看！有兩只考拉抱在樹上。它們真的好可愛。
Jill, why are you crying?
吉爾，你怎么哭了？
J: The government's planning on killing them because they may starve to death soon.
吉爾：政府正計劃宰殺它們，因為它們可能很快就會餓死了。
M: What a stupid idea!
梅克：多么愚蠢的主意呀！
They should try saving them instead.
他們應當改而試著去拯救它們才對。
J: I agree. Let's start a campaign to save them.
吉爾：我同意。讓我們發起一個活動來拯救它們吧。
If we can find 5,000 people to each take one home. The problem will be solved.
如果我們能找到5000個人，讓每個人各帶一只回家的話，問題就可以解決了。
M: That's a good idea.
梅克：好主意！
You know, there're about 18 million people in Australia. Five thousand is only 0.027 percent of the population.
你知道，澳洲的人口大約有1800萬。5000只不過是總人口數的0.027%。
J: Let's do it then.
吉爾：那我們就這樣做。
M: Killing as a solution to a problem is just not right.
梅克：用宰殺來當作問題的解決之道是不對的。
J: You can say that again.
吉爾：你說的對極了。
