　　The Belgian government has come up with a radical way to deal with the burgeoning cat population – to sterilise all but a select few of the animals within five years.

　　比利時政府目前想出一個辦法徹底解決本國貓的數(shù)量急劇增長的問題，那就是在接下來的五年內，除了少數(shù)種類的貓，所有的貓都要接受閹割手術。

　　The feline population in Belgium, a country of 11 million people, has increased to an estimated 1.7 million, and the culling of cats has become a daily routine. According to the health ministry, more than 13,000 were killed in animal refuges last year, more than one in three of the country's 37,000 strays.

　　比利時的人口有一千一百萬，而貓的數(shù)目目前已經增長到大約一百七十萬只貓，所以清除貓的方案已經被提上日程。根據(jù)衛(wèi)生部統(tǒng)計，去年一年，在比利時的動物收容所就有一萬三千只貓被殺死，占全國流浪貓的三分之一。
