【美国人物志】格贝尔·威廉姆斯(9/11)
仅凭声音,冈瑟·格贝尔—威廉斯一次可指挥18只老虎,调动32只大象。他驯过马、豹、美洲狮、斑马,甚至还驯过一头长颈鹿。他是一位杰出的天才驯兽人,一亿多人看过他的表演,为他鼓掌喝彩,他甚至改变了美国人对野生动物马戏表演的看法。Hints:

All his big cats kept their hard, sharp claws on their feet. He spoke to animals in the same soft voice each time he worked with them. When they performed well he gave them special foods. When they failed to obey he expressed mild displeasure. He never used chairs or whips or guns. One of the most unusual things about Mr. Gebel-Williams was the way he got animals to perform well together. For example, elephants and horses naturally fear tigers. He would take as long as two years to get the elephants and horses to let tigers ride on them. Traditional enemies like leopards and zebras also performed together in his acts.
