模仿文本：
But first, in the arguments about the pros 1 and cons 2 of whaling, we hear a lot
from campaigners and politicians, but we rarely hear from the hunters themselves.
Well, today on Outlook, we are at sea with the crew of a Norwegian whaling ship.
Jo Fidgen's report comes at a time when Japan is in the dark at the International
Court of Justice in the Hague, accused of breaking the international moratorium 3 on
whaling. It kills up to a thousand minke and fin 4 whales each year but claims they
are needed for scientific research.
译文：首先，在关于捕鲸的利弊争论中，我们听到很多来自动物保护运动者和政治家们的言论，但捕鲸人们自己的意见却鲜有耳闻。那么今天在《展望》节目中，我们要和一艘挪威捕鲸船一同出海。琼·菲珍的报道来得正是时候，日本正在海牙国际法庭的被告席上，被控违反国际捕鲸禁令。该国每年要捕杀多达一千头小须鲸和鳍鲸，却声称是出于科研需要。
