双语：切蛋鱼入侵巴黎专吃男性睾丸

　　在英国媒体5日的报道当中称目前有一种专门喜欢咬男性私密部位的“切蛋鱼”在巴黎塞纳河蔓延开来，而且现在已经相继在瑞典和丹麦等欧洲国家蔓延，很有可能会导致整个欧洲都陷入恐慌当中，目前巴黎的男士都不敢裸泳。

　　据悉，最早发现此事的是在上周周五的早上，有垂钓者在巴黎的塞纳河垂钓时无意当中钓到了一条外相非常凶恶的鱼，于是该名垂钓者将鱼用手机拍下来传给了巴黎警察局，最后经过专家认定是一种俗称“切蛋鱼”的锯腹脂鲤。

　　英国专家分析称，“切蛋鱼”可能是由一些喜爱饲养奇异鱼类的人当作宠物从南美带到欧洲的，但这种鱼的体积会迅速增长，一般的水族缸无法容纳，主人只好把它们放生，结果无意中促成“切蛋鱼”在欧洲河流生长繁殖。英国专家警告，“切蛋鱼”完全有可能出现在泰晤士河中。

　　下文是CNN发表过的一篇关于切蛋鱼的文章，警告市民在游泳时要多加小心。

　　If you're going swimming in Scandinavia, wear your trunks -- no ifs, ands or nuts.

　　Authorities are warning skinny dippers about the Pacu, a fish similar to the piranha that really enjoys cracking nuts with its strong jaws. They've also been known to mistake testicles for something nice and crunchy, and they're strong enough to take off a finger.

　　Fisherman discovered the horrifying little creature, which is native to South America, in the Danish/Swedish strait of Oresund, CNN reports. The Pacu can grow to 55 pounds, has giant teeth and looks angry, but is usually the more friendly cousin of the piranha. That is, until it sees a testicle.

　　Experts at the Natural History Museum of Denmark, who were notified of the Pacu sighting, warn: "Anyone choosing to bathe in the Oresund these days had best keep their swimsuits well tied."

　　Locals in Papua New Guinea say they have firsthand knowledge of a fatal testicle bite. Two fisherman are said to have died of blood loss after a Pacu chomped off their testicles, according to Metro. That said, such attacks are uncommon.

　　Last year, two Pacus were reportedly spotted in Lake Lou Yaeger in Illinois. Officials think amateur exotic fish collectors are the ones releasing their pets into waters where they don't belong. Anyone caught dumping exotic fish can be criminally charged.

　　It's unclear how the fish got into Scandinavian waters.
