英母女愛心救助烏龜 竟是中國制造陶瓷品
You can see why it fooled a pair of animal lovers. When Margaret Parker and her daughter Lorraine spotted a stray tortoise in their garden they raced into action.
看著這張照片你就會(huì)明白這對(duì)愛心母女為什么會(huì)被騙了，真的很像！英國的母親瑪格麗特·帕克和女兒洛林在自己的花園里發(fā)現(xiàn)了這只迷路的烏龜，充滿愛心的她們立刻采取了行動(dòng)。
They approached it carefully and, seeing it wasn’t moving, headed straight to the shops for emergency supplies of lettuce and tomato。When the poorly runaway refused to eat, they naturally assumed it had been injured by a cat or, worse still, scared to death. So they called the Knoxwood Wildlife Rescue Centre, near Wigton, Cumbria.
母女倆小心翼翼地靠近這只烏龜，卻發(fā)現(xiàn)它一動(dòng)不動(dòng)，于是母女倆趕緊跑到商店里去買萵苣和番茄。可是這個(gè)可憐的小家伙還是不吃東西，她們就以為它被貓抓傷了，甚至快被嚇?biāo)懒恕？菜运齻兙痛螂娫捊o布里亞郡威哥頓市附近 Knoxwood野生動(dòng)物救援中心請(qǐng)求幫助。
It was only when rescue volunteer Pauline Adams arrived that the pair discovered the tortoise was not real. ‘I was worried it might have died,’ said Mrs Parker, 67. ‘But then the lady from Knoxwood looked at it, picked it up and turned it over. She said: ‘‘It’s not dead, it’s ceramic.’’ I was so shocked because it looked real. My daughter was trying to tempt it with the lettuce and the tomato but I did wonder why it wasn’t moving its head, and decided it was probably just frightened.”
結(jié)果救援隊(duì)員保琳·亞當(dāng)斯來了以后，她們才發(fā)現(xiàn)這只烏龜是假的。“我很擔(dān)心，以為這小家伙快死了。”67歲的帕克夫人這么說，“Knoxwood救援中心過來的女士檢查了下這只烏龜，拿起來反復(fù)看。接著她告訴我說這烏龜不是真的，是陶瓷做的。我真的嚇了一跳，因?yàn)檫@烏龜看上去和真的沒兩樣。之前我女兒還試過喂它吃萵苣和番茄，它的頭一動(dòng)不動(dòng)。那時(shí)我的確有過懷疑，不過只是以為它嚇到了，不敢動(dòng)而已。”
“It was about the same weight as a real tortoise, but when she picked it up and looked underneath there was writing on the bottom: Made in China.”
“這只小家伙和真的烏龜差不多重，不過救援隊(duì)員把它拿起來時(shí)，看到最下面寫著‘中國制造’幾個(gè)字。”
Knoxwood founder George Scott praised Mrs Parker, saying: ‘She was embarrassed but she did do the right thing by getting in touch. A lot of these ceramic animal models can be very convincing.’
Knoxwood中心的創(chuàng)始人喬治·斯考特贊揚(yáng)了帕克斯夫人的行為，他說：“這件事雖然讓她很尷尬，但是之前她打電話聯(lián)系我們，做得都很對(duì)。不過的確，很多陶瓷的動(dòng)物模型做得都很逼真，容易讓人認(rèn)錯(cuò)。”
Mrs Parker has put the tortoise in a memorial garden at Carlisle Cemetery in memory of her late husband, Ronnie.
帕克斯夫人把這只陶瓷烏龜放在了卡里索公墓的陵園里，用以紀(jì)念他已故去的丈夫羅涅。
