A family of farmers in central Serbia found its entire savings wiped out by a hungry goat. With their dreams of expanding the farm shredded, they took their revenge by serving the goat to journalists for lunch.
塞尔维亚中部的一个农民家庭发现他们所有的积蓄都被一只饥饿的山羊吃光了。扩大农场的梦想就这样破灭了,于是他们报了仇,把这只山羊烤了给记者们当午餐。
The Simic family from Ranilovic, a village near Arandjelovac in central Serbia, was saving to buy 10 hectares of land and expand their family farm. Everything was going well, they say, until they left the money on the table before meeting with the seller, and forgot to lock the front door.
来自拉尼洛维奇的西米基一家住在塞尔维亚中部的一个村庄,他们准备了现金用于购买10公顷的土地以扩大农场。据这家人说,一切都很顺利,他们在等卖家的时候,将钱放在了房间的桌子上,却忘记锁上前门。
“We got up early and counted the money, because the man we wanted to buy from was supposed to come. We put the money on the living room table, so we could sign the contract and pay the man, and went to the dining room to have breakfast,” Milena Simic told Arandjelovac Info, the local news portal.
米莱娜.西米基告诉本地的媒体:“我们起得很早,数好了钱,因为卖家就快要来了。我们把钱放在客厅的桌子上,这样我们就可以签合同,付钱给那个人,然后去餐厅吃早餐。”
My father-in-law went outside to feed the cattle, like every morning, but he did not notice he’d left the front door open,”she added. “That was the cause of our misfortune.”
她还说,“我的公公和往常一样早上出门喂牲畜,但没注意前门仍然开着。就是这让我们遭遇了不幸。”
One of the goats that the family has owned for a couple of years, Belka entered the house through the open door and began to eat the money off the table.
与我们住在一起好几年的一只山羊Belka从开着的门进入屋内,并开始吃桌上的钱。
“When we heard the noise, my husband got up to check and almost had a heart attack. Belka ate almost all the money! Only 300 euros or so was left, the rest was eaten or shredded,” Milena explained through tears.
米莱娜哭诉道,“当我们听到沙沙声时,丈夫过去查看发生了什么,差点没被吓倒。山羊几乎吃掉了桌上所有的钱,只剩下300欧元左右,其他都被咬破和吞掉。”
“Belka brought us [to] ruin,” Milena said, adding that her husband has not spoken a word since, choosing to sit and stare at the wall all day.
“Belka毁了我们一家,”米莱娜说。她还说,从那以后,她丈夫再也没说过一句话,就是整天坐在那里盯着墙发呆。
As Milena Simic was telling the story to the local reporters, Belka was turning over the fire pit. The Simic family decided to cope with the loss by throwing a feast featuring the cause of their misfortune as the main course, and invited the reporters to stay for the meal.
米莱娜向当地记者讲述这件事时,Belka正在火上被烤着。为了泄愤,西米基一家决定举办一场以他们的不幸遭遇为主题的盛宴,并邀请记者留下来吃饭。
“It was very tasty,” reported Arandjelovac Info.
当地媒体报道说,“羊肉非常美味。”
