| Deer harass Zhejiang islanders |
梅花鹿大闹浙江大陈岛 |
| Deer may not always be so graceful and lovely, especially when they begin to harass people. A deer overpopulation on Dachen Island off the coast of Zhejiang Province has recently been disrupting locals' lives, Qianjiang Evening News reported. They eat farmers' vegetables and sometimes attack people, especially those dressed in red. The deer problem began in 2007 when some enclosed deer breached a fence and went wild and bred freely. Deers are nationally protected species, so villagers are not allowed to hunt them. The lack of large predators also helps them multiply. |
梅花鹿也许不总是优雅可爱，尤其是它们开始骚扰人类的时候。据浙江《钱江晚报》消息，浙江大陈岛上泛滥的梅花鹿已经开始影响当地岛民的生活了。它们偷吃农民种植的蔬菜，甚至有时还攻击人——尤其是穿红色衣服的人。岛上的梅花鹿问题始于2007年，一些圈养的梅花鹿从护栏的缺口处逃到野外，开始自由繁殖。因梅花鹿是国家保护动物，当地村民不能捕杀；岛上又没有大型食肉动物存在，因此梅花鹿数量泛滥。 |
| Victim seeks to paralyze attacker |
沙特法官欲致瘫伤人者 |
| Saudi Arabian Abdul-Aziz al-Mutairi, 22, was attacked with a cleaver and left paralyzed after a fight more than two years ago. He is now asking a judge to impose an equivalent punishment on his attacker under sharia law, the Guardian reported. The judge has asked at least two hospitals for a medical opinion on whether surgeons could render the attacker's spinal cord non-functional. |
据英国《卫报》报道，22岁的沙特男子阿卜杜勒—阿齐兹·穆塔伊里在两年前一起斗殴事件中遭人用切肉刀捅伤以致瘫痪，随后他要求法官按照伊斯兰教法，对伤人者实施同样处罚，即让那人瘫痪。负责本案的法官已向至少两家医院询问，就技术手段而言是否能够损伤那名罪犯的脊髓，使他陷入瘫痪。 |
| The attacker, who was not identified, has spent seven months in jail. One hospital said that it would not do the punitive operation, saying "inflicting such harm is not possible," apparently refusing on ethical grounds. Saudi Arabia enforces strict sharia law and allows plaintiffs to ask for a similar punishment to the harms inflicted on them. Cutting off the hands of thieves, for example, is common. |
报道还说，该罪犯已经在狱中服刑7个月，但未透露其姓名。一家医院表示“不可能施加这等伤害”，显然从道德层面讲，医院不愿做这种惩罚性手术。沙特奉行严格的伊斯兰教法，允许原告对被告提出与其受到伤害同等的惩罚。如小偷被斩手等判决已司空见惯。 |

航班延误将被严惩 |
| Chinese airline companies will not be able to operate certain flights for the rest of the air season and will be disqualified to apply in the next if they have a delay for more than four hours that involved their failure in coordination, said the Civil Aviation Administration of China in its latest attempt to rectify flight delays, Beijing Youth Daily reported. |
