地道美语向前冲：食人鱼现身了

本期节目介绍：

日前，一种尖牙利嘴的鱼在美国伊利诺伊州的一个湖泊中被发现。虽然湖泊管理人宣称这种鱼对人没有攻击性，但是2011年在巴布亚新几内亚，这种鱼却用它的尖牙把两个渔夫的睾丸咬掉了，被咬后的两个渔夫大出血后就呜呼哀哉了。

Pacu, Testicle-Eating Fish Species, Caught In Lake Lou Yaeger In Illinois

Pacu, a toothy fish that can weigh up to 55 pounds, has been spotted in Lake Lou

Pacus primarily eat nuts, aquatic vegetation and snails, [Caldwell] told KDSK, and pose no real threat to humans.

Residents of Papua New Guinea may beg to differ. There, according to British fisherman Jeremy Wade, the pacu is known as the "ball cutter." In 2011, Wade said locals informed him that two fisherman had died from blood loss after something in the water had bitten off their testicles, according to the Metro.
