It's been a busy morning for Cletus, Meynard, Victoria and others of their furry band. Tiny noses and long whiskers twitching, they've scurried and sniffed their way across 775 square meters of fields to eliminate a scourge that has killed thousands of Cambodians: land mines. 克莱图斯、迈纳尔德、维多利亚等“鼠英雄”已经忙碌一早上了。它们的小鼻子使劲嗅着，长胡须随之抽动，一路疾扫了柬埔寨方圆775平方米的土地，目的是为铲除当地已夺走成千上万人性命的一大祸害——地雷。 Meet the Hero Rats: intelligent, surprisingly adorable creatures with some of the most sensitive noses in the animal kingdom. Sent from Africa, where they successfully cleared minefields in Mozambique and Angola, they began the same task in northwestern Cambodia early this month and have already scored tangible results. 何谓“鼠英雄”？答案便是这些“聪明可爱、嗅觉极其灵敏的老鼠”。这些老鼠生长于非洲，曾成功清除了莫桑比克以及安哥拉的雷区。本月初，它们被送往柬埔寨西北部，开始了扫雷任务，并且目前已是战果累累。 |
