Lesson 110. Killing is no solution
第110课 屠杀并非解决之道
Two Australians, Mack and Jill, are camping on Kangaroo Island.
两名澳洲人，梅克和吉尔，正在袋鼠岛上露营。
M: Look! There's a koala hugging a tree. They're really so cute.
梅克：你看！有两只考拉抱在树上。它们真的好可爱。
Jill, why are you crying?
吉尔，你怎么哭了？
J: The government's planning on killing them because they may starve to death soon.
吉尔：政府正计划宰杀它们，因为它们可能很快就会饿死了。
M: What a stupid idea!
梅克：多么愚蠢的主意呀！
They should try saving them instead.
他们应当改而试着去拯救它们才对。
J: I agree. Let's start a campaign to save them.
吉尔：我同意。让我们发起一个活动来拯救它们吧。
If we can find 5,000 people to each take one home. The problem will be solved.
如果我们能找到5000个人，让每个人各带一只回家的话，问题就可以解决了。
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，澳洲的人口大约有1800万。5000只不过是总人口数的0.027%。
J: Let's do it then.
吉尔：那我们就这样做。
M: Killing as a solution to a problem is just not right.
梅克：用宰杀来当作问题的解决之道是不对的。
J: You can say that again.
吉尔：你说的对极了。
