讲述：进食稀有动物经历[1]

　　Greg在泰国时吃过很多野生食物，但某日在森林中吃下了不知名的动物，直到后来参观展览才发现是稀有物种。

　　Todd: So, Greg, in your travels have you ever eaten any wild food?

　　Greg: Oh, yeah, in Thailand I ate a lot of different wild food. One time, I had a really unusual experience. I was with one of the teachers from my school, and a couple of his friends and those guys are hunters. We went into the rain forest of Thailand, and we slept that night in an old tin mine.

　　Todd: A tin mine? Was it open, or was it still?

　　Greg: No, it was closed down, there were still a couple of old buildings there and you could have a fire. It was very exciting, and then in the morning, we went walking through the woods, but actually in the rain forest, its really hard to walk. The only place you can really walk is through, up the river. There are so many thick branches,... but I was talking a photographs, at one point in the forest, and I saw in the corner of my eye my friend suddenly pick up their rifles and the were shooting at something in a tree, and then this animal came down, and I was amazed. It was a, in Thai they say mi meow, which means bearcat, very low to the ground, thick fur animal and it came running down the stream towards me and my friends were shooting. At first, I was all, Oh, this is so interesting taking a picture and then I thought, Oh, my God! This wounded animal is coming towards me and that is the most dangerous (right) animal, and they kept shooting and it actually died about one meter away from me.

　　Todd: Whoa! It almost got you!

　　Greg: Yeah, and my friends

　　Todd: It wanted revenge.

　　Greg: They should have gone to the hunters.

　　Todd: Right. Right. Wrong guy.

　　Greg: My friends tied the bear up to a piece of bamboo and carried it back through he forest to where we were camping, and they cut up the meat and they cooked it, very hot and spicy Thai dish. It was delicious, and the next day, they brought the rest of the meat t back to their village, and I thought it was very interesting, but then the next week, I went into another town and I saw an exhibition about endangered animals in Thailand, and that animal was an endangered animal, (Oh!) so I felt really bad about it, afterwards. (Yeah) I would never have eaten an endangered animal if I had known.

　　Todd: Wow! Man. Well, you know, at least you didnt pull the trigger.

　　Greg: Thats true. I used the chopsticks.
