whaling
- 当初麦克阿瑟推动日本现代捕鲸业,是为了替二战后饥饿的日本人补充些蛋白质。
Douglas MacArthur launched Japan’s modern whaling because he wanted protein for a hungry land after the second world war. - 如果日本捕鲸业明天就彻底结束的话,就是说按照国际条例,将捕捞量控制在非常低的科学研究水平上,大阪的普通工薪阶层都对此难以察觉。
If Japanese whaling — which is allowed under the international ban only on a very small scale, as "scientific research" — ended tomorrow, your average salaryman in Osaka would barely notice. - 摩根号是美国当年2700艘庞大捕鲸船队中的代表,捕鲸业不仅让美国这个年轻的国家日益壮大,也孕育了美国繁荣昌盛的经济。
