After catching an octopus, holidaymaker Labros Hydras followed local tradition by killing it and taking it to a taverna to be served for his supper. 拉布罗·海德拉斯在希腊度假时抓住了一只章鱼,按照当地习俗他们把章鱼杀掉后送到小酒馆做晚餐吃。 That is when he discovered this was no ordinary specimen – it was a ‘hexapus’ with only six legs instead of the usual eight. The creature found during a snorkelling trip in Greece is believed to be only the second recorded worldwide. 直到章鱼做熟上桌,海德拉斯才发现这只和普通章鱼有所不同——不是普通的八脚章鱼,而是六脚章鱼。这只罕见的动物是游客在希腊潜水时捉到的,而且是迄今为止全世界发现的第二只六脚章鱼。 Father-of-two Mr Hydras, 49, took it to a local taverner where a chef cooked it and served it with tomato, lemon and a lettuce leaf. It was only then that he checked with a friend who is a biologist – and felt sick at what he had done. 现年49岁的海德拉斯先生是两个孩子的父亲,他捉住章鱼后把它带到当地小餐馆里,厨师把章鱼做熟,还和西红柿、柠檬、生菜叶子一起端了出来。直到那时,海德拉斯和他的生物学家朋友才发现这只章鱼的不同之处。海德拉斯对他之前的作为很懊恼。 |
