Killing Is No Solution
屠殺並非解決之道
Two Australians, Mack and Jill, are camping on Kangaroo Island.
兩名澳洲人，梅克和吉兒，正在袋鼠島上露營。
Mack：Look! There's a koala hugging a tree. They're really so cute. Jill, why are you crying?
梅克：妳看！有隻無尾熊抱在樹上。它們真的好可愛。吉兒，妳怎麼哭了？
Jill：The government's planning on killing them because they may starve to death soon.
吉兒：政府正計畫宰殺牠們，因為牠們可能很快就會餓死了。
Mack：What a stupid idea! They should try saving them instead .
梅克：真是個愚蠢的主意！他們應當改而設法去拯救牠們才對。
Jill：I agree. Let's start a campaign to save them. If we can find 5,000 people to each take one home, the problem will be solved.
吉兒：我同意。咱們發起一個活動來拯救牠們吧。如果我們能找到五千個人，讓每個人各帶一隻回家的話，問題就可以解決了。
Mack：That's a good idea. You know, there're about 18 million people in Australia. Five thousand is only 0.027 percent of the population.
吉兒： 梅克：好點子。妳是知道的，澳洲的人口大約有一千八百萬。五千只不過是總人口數的十萬分之二十七。
Jill：Let's do it then.
吉兒：那麼我們就這樣做。
Mack：Killing as a solution to a problem is just not right.
梅克：用宰殺來當作問題的解決之道是不對的。
Jill：You can say that again.
吉兒：你說的對極了。
