2. Shark Heads
鲨鱼头
Considered endangered throughout most of the world, sharks are actually unprotected in China and Japan, making them fair game as food. This means that buying a shark head at Walmart was, at one time, just as normal as buying a hog’s head.
虽然在全球大部分地区鲨鱼都被视为濒危动物，但在中国和日本鲨鱼则不受保护，所以捕杀鲨鱼在中国和日本都是合法的。这就是说，在沃尔玛买鲨鱼头就跟买猪头一样正常。
Though seeing a shark head in Walmart will probably never seem normal to us, we’ve heard that shark fin soup, a delicacy from China, is actually quite tasty. Since shark meat itself is notorious for being stringy and tough, fishermen often only save the fins of the shark and throw the rest back into the water. Either way, it’s hard to imagine dining on Jaws even if Walmart has it on their weekly special!
虽然对我们来说，在沃尔玛看到鲨鱼头可能有些不习惯，但我们都听说过中国的一道美食——鱼翅汤，的确很美味。因为鲨鱼肉难嚼又粗糙，所以渔夫们经常只留下鲨鱼鳍，然后就把鲨鱼丢回海里。不管怎样，就算沃尔玛周末特价，我们也很难想象要吃“大白鲨”。
