of Brevoerde has adopted a lone wild boar piglet.

農夫弗里德里希‧斯塔佩爾向「德新社」表示，這隻小野豬可能是在橫渡附近一條溪流時，和其他野豬失散。

damage wild boars can cause, he can’t bring himself to chase the animal away.
斯塔佩爾說，雖然他知道野豬可能帶來的巨大損害，但他不忍心把牠趕走。
The local hunter has been told not to
shoot the piglet — nicknamed Frieda — and in winter Stapel plans to put it in
the shed with the mother cows.
當地獵人已被告知不要射殺這隻暱稱弗里達的小豬，斯塔佩爾還準備在冬天來的時候，讓小豬和牛媽媽們一起待在牛棚。

Poison in the Flowerbeds
世界上最毒的花園
【摘要2023-02-23四.壹蘋】
One of the unique features of Alnwick
Garden is an entire area set aside for poisonous plants. Inside the Poison
Garden, there are more than 100 toxic species, with plenty of information about
their special properties. Although some of these plants are deadly, and there
have been cases of visitors fainting from smelling some of the plants’ toxic
gases, the Poison Garden is now one of the main reasons people visit. The
garden has even earned the title as the most dangerous garden in the world.
阿尼克花園的其中一個獨特之處是為有毒植物預留的一整片區域。毒花園內有一百多個有毒物種，以及大量關於它們特性的資訊。雖然其中一些植物是致命的，並且有遊客因聞到植物的有毒氣體而暈倒的案例，但毒花園是人們現在參觀的主要原因之一。該花園甚至贏得了世界上最危險花園的稱號。
