中英對照讀新聞 － It really gets my goat when I miss a great shot! 我錯過一個大好鏡頭真令我抓狂
One Russian wildlife photographer captured this perfect Kodak moment at a reserve in Kabardino-Balkaria - but another didn’t.
一名俄羅斯野生生態攝影師在卡巴迪諾—巴卡里亞保育區捕捉到這個完美鏡頭，但另一名攝影師錯過了。
As the fellow photographer was checking his camera a goat poked its head up from behind a rock and...he missed it.
就在這名攝影同伴正查看他的相機時，一隻山羊從一塊岩石後面探出頭來…而他錯過了這個鏡頭。
Igor Shpilenok did manage to snap it though, and his picture perfectly illustrates the dangers of "chimping" too much.
不過，伊格爾．史匹倫諾柯成功拍下這一刻，他的照片正好說明太常「檢視照片」的危險。
Chimping is a colloquial term used in digital photography to describe the habit of checking every photo on the camera display （LCD） immediately after capture.
Chimping是用於數位攝影的口語用詞，用來描述拍照後立即在相機液晶螢幕上檢視每張照片的習慣。
Stare too much at the back of your camera and you might miss a great photo opportunity - like this man.
太常盯著你的相機機背螢幕看，你或許就會錯失一個大好鏡頭，就像這名男子一樣。

《中英對照讀新聞》New tusk test could help stop ivory trade 新的象牙檢測可能有助於阻止象牙交易
◎魏國金
Forensic experts have developed an unusual way of dating elephant tusks in a bid to stop the illegal trade of ivory.
為了阻止非法象牙交易，法醫專家已發展出確定象牙年代的獨特方式。
Only the sale of antique ivory from before 1947 is permitted in the EU but there is no accurate method of identifying it from modern ivory.
歐盟只允許1947年以前骨董象牙的銷售，然而卻沒有鑑定新象牙的精確方法。
Now a scientist at Edinburgh Zoo has come up with the test which, it could be said, owes its success to the Cold War.
現在愛丁堡動物園的一名科學家想出檢測方法，可以說，該檢測的成功應歸功於冷戰。
The 1950s saw widespread nuclear weapons testing which caused a rise in the levels of a certain chemical in the atmosphere. The amount of carbon 14 doubled by 1965 and can be found in the bones and tusks of animals.
1950年代廣泛的核武試爆造成大氣中某種化學物質的濃度上升。到了1965年，大氣中碳14的量增加一倍，而且能在動物的骨骼與牙齒內發現。
If an ivory sample displays a high level of the matter then it proves it came from an animal alive after the introduction of nuclear testing in the 50s and is therefore being sold illegally.
如果一個象牙樣本顯示該物質（碳14）濃度高，就證明它來自一個存活於50年代核子試爆開始後的動物，因此是非法販賣。
Herman Melville, who died September 28th 1891, joked that narwhals' tusks are used to open letters. He was quite wrong: they are actually used to attract mates. (Narwhals with big tusks are well endowed at the other end too.) From the archive:
赫爾曼 · 梅爾維爾，1891 年 9 月 28 日去世，享年開玩笑說，獨角鯨的長牙用來打開信件。他完全錯了: 他們實際上用來吸引伴侶。(獨角鯨的大獠牙好天生的另一端也。)從存檔:
