KING ARTHUR'S COURT
By his look, he was good-natured; by his gait, he was satisfied with himself. He was pretty enough to frame. He arrived, looked me over with a smiling and impudent curiosity; said he had come for me, and informed me that he was a page.
......他走過來,笑嘻嘻地抬起頭,帶著一種厚顏無恥的好奇心望著我,說他是來找我的,還告訴我說,他是一名侍童。
"Go 'long," I said; "you ain't more than a paragraph."
「得了吧你,」我說:「你算什麼屎桶,大不了也就是個尿壺。」
"The Chinese middle class is starting to change the traditional thought process of beef as a luxury," said Kevin Timberlake, who manages the U.S.-based Western Cattle Company feedlot in China's Inner Mongolia.

A feedlot or feedyard is a type of concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO) (also known as "factory farming") which is used for finishing livestock, notably beef cattle, prior to slaughter. They may contain thousands of animals in an array of pens. Most feedlots require some type of governmental permit and must have plans in place to deal with the large amount of waste that is generated. Long-running feedlots are often exempt due to various "grandfather clauses", which allow feedlots to wait until a change of ownership before obtaining permits and designing formal waste management plans.
