In the autumn of 1991 Ming-Ming arrived and was followed by a male, Bao Bao, a loan from Berlin Zoo in hope that they could produce
offspring. However, Bao Bao didn't like Ming Ming. Instead the couple fought
savagely,
shattering Britain's high hopes for that extreme
rarity, a baby panda born in London.
1991年秋,一只名为明明的雌性大熊猫来到英国,一起跟来的还有一只从柏林动物园租借来的雄性大熊猫宝宝。动物园方面希望两只大熊猫能够繁育后代。但是,宝宝不喜欢明明,两只大熊猫还经常大打出手,彻底破灭了英国人希望它们在伦敦产子的愿望。
阳光甜甜抵达苏格兰
In December 2011, two giant pandas arrive in Scotland. Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said,“I’m delighted by the arrival of pandas Tian Tian and Yang Guang at Edinburgh Zoo today, which is a reflection of the strength of our relationship with China. It shows that we can co-operate closely not only on commerce, but on a broad range of environmental and cultural issues as well."
2011年12月,两只大熊猫来到了苏格兰。英国副首相尼克-克莱格对此发表讲话说,“我很高兴两只大熊猫甜甜和阳光能来到爱丁堡动物园,这标志着英中两国的良好关系。英中两国不仅可以在商业上有密切的合作,还可以在更广的领域如环境和文化方面共同合作。”
