一隻小吉娃娃犬最近從牠在英國南部海濱城市德文郡佩恩頓的家中後院被搶走。據牠的主人所述，罪魁禍首是一隻海鷗。

While such an attack is feasible, "they are very rare," said Viola Ross-Smith, a science communicator with the British Trust for Ornithology.

雖然這類攻擊事件有可能發生，但「它們非常罕見」，英國鳥類信託組織的科學通訊員維奧拉．蘿絲—史蜜絲表示。

On July 21 in Devon at 12：30 p.m. local time, the gull purportedly struck quickly and without warning. The chihuahua — a brown-and-white 4-year-old male named Gizmo — was safe in the garden, while the dog’s owner hung out the washing to dry nearby. Suddenly, a gull swooped down and scooped up the tiny pup with its beak.

據稱，這隻海鷗在德文郡當地時間7月21日中午12時30分，毫無預警地迅速發動襲擊。被擄走的黃白吉娃娃犬是4歲的公犬「吉斯莫」，牠當時安逸地待在花園內，狗主人則在附近晾曬衣服。突然間，一隻海鷗俯衝而下，叼走這隻迷你狗。

In the U.K., the gulls most commonly found in urban areas are herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls. Like many other types of large gulls, both species are omnivores that eat whatever they can find.

The Sun’s scathing piece, which drew responses across the country and even as far as Senegal, highlights Baltimore’s strengths and accuses Trump of deploying "the most emotional and bigoted of arguments" against a Democratic African American congressman from a majority-black district.

中英對照讀新聞》China likely to benefit from Japan’s export curbs-中國很可能從日本的出口限制得利

If Japan-imposed restrictions on exports of key tech materials to South Korea are extended in the long term, the curbs would benefit China while hurting both the Korean and Japanese economies, according to experts.

根據專家，一旦日本對關鍵的科技材料出口南韓的設限延長，該限制將使中國獲益，同時損害韓、日經濟。

According to Cho Gyeong-yeob, a senior research fellow at the Korea Economic Research Institute, in the scenario that Japan maintains the export curbs for the next three months, Korea is forecast to see a 4.47 percent contraction in its gross domestic product on average, while Japan’s GDP is predicted to dip 0.04 percent. China could gain 0.05 to 0.07 percent.

據「韓國經濟研究院」高級研究員趙敬燁（譯音），若日本接下來3個月維持出口限制，預計南韓的國內生產毛額平均將萎縮4.47%，同時日本的國內生產毛額預計將下降0.04%，中國則可能增加0.05%至0.07%。

While Korea’s and Japan’s electronics industries are projected to plunge 20.6 percent and 15.5 percent in production, respectively, China’s electronics sector would increase 2.1 percent in production and could possibly take over the global market leadership, the researcher said. "US IT moguls like Google, Amazon and Apple could feel the impact, if they become unable to procure memory chips from Samsung and SK hynix at the right time," Chung Min, a research fellow at the Hyundai Research Institute said.

研究人員指稱，儘管韓日的電子業預計將分別在產量上驟減20.6%和15.5%，但中國的電子業將因此增產2.1%，也可能接掌全球市場的領導地位。「現代經濟研究院」研究員鄭閔（譯音）表示，「一旦Google、亞馬遜與蘋果這類資訊科技巨擘，無法適時向三星及SK海力士採購記憶體，這些大廠可能會感受到衝擊。」
