| Surfer killed by great white shark |
沖浪者遭大白鯊攻擊身亡 |
| 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. |
英國《每日郵報》報道，昨天，31歲的沖浪者尼古拉斯?愛德華茲在西澳大利的西南海岸遭大白鯊襲擊身亡。據傳，這頭龐然大物是在追逐一群海豹時咬傷該沖浪者的。愛德華茲被咬后奮力游向海岸，另一些沖浪者急忙跑過來將他拖到岸上。他的一條腿被撕破，失血嚴重。盡管人們全力施救，已是兩個孩子父親的愛德華茲還是在被送往醫院不久后死亡。報道稱，該海域中常有大白鯊出沒，清晨沖浪尤其危險。6年前，一個叫布拉德?史密斯的人在這段海岸沖浪時也被鯊魚咬死。 |

| Micro pig farm ads banned |
微型豬廣告被禁 |
| 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. |
據《衛報》報道，位于劍橋郡的小豬農場在廣告中稱其銷售“易于照料的”寵物豬，并稱這種豬是“英國最小的”，長成后只有12至16英寸（30至40厘米）。英國昆昆豬協會向廣告標準局投訴，認為此廣告頗有誤導性，一來“沒有一種豬長成后只有16英寸高”，二來協會認為豬會長得較大，這樣“把豬作為寵物來照料就困難了”。廣告標準局同意協會的觀點，取締了此廣告。
