亲历捕鲸
鲸是多么庞大强壮的生物，也敌不过人类的船坚炮利。日本人的借口之拙劣已无需置评，而挪威冰岛这些给人以“童话”印象的国家，也坚持把捕鲸作为一项传统产业。难道一定要等到濒危了才肯收手？

Well, today on Outlook, we're at sea with the crew of a Norwegian whaling ship. Jo Fidgen's report comes at a time when Japan is in the dock at the International Court of Justice in the Hague, accused of breaking the international moratorium on whaling. It kills up to 1,000 minke and fin whales each year but claims they are needed for scientific research. And Japan is not the only country to hunt whales. Norway does too. Fishermen in the remote Lofoten Islands kill around 500 minke whales as they migrate past their coastline and sell the meat. The Norwegian government supports the hunters' traditional industry and argues that minke whales are not endangered. You may find some of Jo's report upsetting. We joined her on the deck of the whaling boat, the Jan Bjørn.
"We skirt in the east coast of the Lofoten Islands in the West Fjord looking for minke whales. But the wind is getting up and the sea's a bit choppy to have much chance of seeing a whale. It spends only a few seconds breathing at the surface before diving under again. So we're heading west where the weather is a little better."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。日本并不是唯一捕鲸的国家，挪威也一样。遥远的罗弗敦岛的渔民们乘小须鲸迁徙时途径他们居住的海岸，要杀掉约500头鲸，并出售鲸肉。挪威政府对猎手们的传统产业表示支持，并争辩说小须鲸并不是濒危动物。琼的报道可能会激得你心头愤懑不安。让我们听听她在捕鲸船“一月熊”号的甲板上的经历吧。
“我们沿着罗弗敦岛的东海岸航行，在西部峡湾搜寻小须鲸。但风吹得越来越猛，海上有些波涛起伏，不太可能看得见鲸。而且它又只在呼吸时才冒出水面几秒钟，然后就又潜下去了。所以我们要改向西行，那里的天气要好些。”
