| Surfer killed by great white shark |
冲浪者遭大白鲨攻击身亡 |
| 31-year-old surfer Nicholas Edwards died after being attacked by a great white shark off Western Australia's south-west coast yesterday, the Daily Mail reported. The huge creature was chasing a group of seals when it attacked Edwards. As he battled to reach the safety of land, other surfers raced to help him, dragging him ashore, but described the loss of blood from his shredded leg as 'just terrible'. Despite desperate rescue efforts, the father-of-two was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at hospital. Great white sharks are common along the Western Australian coast and surfing in the early morning is regarded as risky. Six years ago another surfer, Brad Smith, died in a shark attack at the same beach. |
英国《每日邮报》报道，昨天，31岁的冲浪者尼古拉斯•爱德华兹在西澳大利的西南海岸遭大白鲨袭击身亡。据传，这头庞然大物是在追逐一群海豹时咬伤该冲浪者的。爱德华兹被咬后奋力游向海岸，另一些冲浪者急忙跑过来将他拖到岸上。他的一条腿被撕破，失血严重。尽管人们全力施救，已是两个孩子父亲的爱德华兹还是在被送往医院不久后死亡。报道称，该海域中常有大白鲨出没，清晨冲浪尤其危险。6年前，一个叫布拉德•史密斯的人在这段海岸冲浪时也被鲨鱼咬死。 |

| Micro pig farm ads banned |
微型猪广告被禁 |
| The British Kune Kune Pig Society has complained to the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) about advertisements from Cambridgeshire-based Little Pig Farm that offer "easy to care for" pigs as pets that are the "smallest in the UK", measuring just 12in to 16in (30cm to 40cm) when fully grown, the Guardian reports. The society argued the ad was misleading because there is "no breed that would grow only as tall as 16 inches" and reckoned the pigs would grow much larger and would thus "become difficult to care for as pets". The ASA agreed with the society and banned the advertisement. |
据《卫报》报道，位于剑桥郡的小猪农场在广告中称其销售“易于照料的”宠物猪，并称这种猪是“英国最小的”，长成后只有12至16英寸（30至40厘米）。英国昆昆猪协会向广告标准局投诉，认为此广告颇有误导性，一来“没有一种猪长成后只有16英寸高”，二来协会认为猪会长得较大，这样“把猪作为宠物来照料就困难了”。广告标准局同意协会的观点，取缔了此广告。
