小羊傻笑为哪般 只因误食千磅大麻
英语课
A flock of sheep were left feeling rather woolly-headed after accidentally munching 1 on thousands of pounds worth of cannabis plants.
一群绵羊感到头晕目眩，原来它们不小心嚼食了价值数千英镑的大麻类植物。
The animals began stumbling about after getting high on seven bags of the intoxicating 2 plant, which had been dumped in their field.
这些动物误食了被人遗弃在草地上的七袋具有毒性的植物，出现吸毒后兴奋症状，走路也开始东倒西歪。
Police won’t be taking action against the sheep for tucking into their illegal meal, but are determined 3 to catch the “irresponsible” crooks 4 who grew and discarded the class B drug.
警方不会对这些误食了毒性草料的绵羊加以惩治，但是他们决定要逮住那些种植并遗弃了这些B类毒品的“不负责任的”恶棍们。
The ?4,000 hoard 5 of cannabis plants, each about 3ft tall, was found by the flock at the edge of Fanny’s Farm in Merstham, Surrey.
这批价值4000英镑的大麻类植物大约每株3英尺高，是在萨利郡梅尔萨姆镇的法妮农场边境上首先被一群羊发现的。
Farm shop manager Nellie Budd said: "My sheep being inquisitive 6 had an interesting feast on it. They weren't quite on their backs with legs in the air but they probably had the munchies.
农场商场部经理内莉·巴德称：“我的这群羊一向很有好奇心，它们的好奇心给它们带来了有趣的收获。它们还不至于四蹄朝天或者如坠云雾，不过它们应该是饱餐了一顿。”
"They haven't had any other side effects but I'll tell you about the meat next week.
“它们没有表现出任何其他的副作用，不过到下个星期我才能告诉你它们的肉质有没有变化。”
Investigating officer Detective Constable 7 David Fair said: "It is extremely irresponsible for whoever dumped these illegal plants in this way."负责调查此事的官方人员，大卫·菲尔警探称：“无论是谁，这样丢弃这些非法植物都是极不负责任的。”
"We are doing all we can to find out how the drugs came to be at the location and who is responsible for growing and discarding the plants."“我们正竭尽全力调查这些毒品是怎么来到此地的，还在调查谁要对种植和丢弃这些植物负责。”
However, bringing the criminals to justice will be a challenge because the sheep chomped 8 their way through quite a lot of the evidence.
不过，要将那些罪犯绳之以法可能有些挑战，因为绵羊们已经嚼掉了大部分的证据。
