Beijing (AFP) - Chinese authorities are investigating whether government officials feasted on endangered pangolins considered the most trafficked mammal on earth at a banquet after posts about the meal drew outrage on social media.

北京（法新社报道）--中国当局正在调查政府官员，【看他们】是否正在享用濒危的穿山甲【作为食物】。有人在网上发布了吃穿山甲的信息，这引起了网民的愤怒，这些濒危的穿山甲是地球上走私情况最严重的哺乳动物。

The animal's brown scales are made of nothing more than keratin -- the same substance as fingernails -- but are highly prized in Vietnam and China where they are misleadingly touted as having medicinal properties.

穿山甲的棕色鳞片只不过是由角蛋白构成的 - 就是和指甲构成相同的物质 - 但是在越南和中国【这种鳞片】高度珍贵，他们误认为【它】具有药物作用。

Police are investigating whether the "scaly anteater" was indeed consumed at a banquet in the southern province of Guangxi the Xinhua state news agency reported late Tuesday.

新华社周二晚报道称，警方正在调查这种“有鳞片的食蚁兽”是不是在【中国】南部省份广西的宴会上真的被吃了。

A post from 2015 which recently resurfaced on the Chinese social media site Weibo claimed that Guangxi officials invited investors to eat the animal which is listed as critically endangered by the International unx for Conservation of Nature.


最近，在中国社交媒体网站微博上重现了2015年的一篇帖子。它宣称道，这种动物曾被国际自然保护联盟列为极度濒危，而广西官员却曾经邀请投资者吃掉【它】。

Observe that these are not ignorant peasants. They are wealthy educated well-connected political figures. Smart enough to know better arrogant enough to believe they are above common decency.

我注意到这些人不是无知的农民。他们是富有的受过良好教育的出身名门的政治人物。他们聪明到足以知道，更傲慢到足以意识到，他们超过了基本行为准则。

The Chinese are world leaders in diminishing our world's endangered species quicker than any other nation. The rhinos for their horn elephants for ivory sharks just for their fins the list never ends. It always comes back to the Chinese as the main source of the demand.

与其他国家相比，中国在快速减少濒危物种方面堪称世界领袖。犀牛角、象牙、鱼翅，这份清单远未结束。中国总是这类物品的主要需求者。

Pangolins do not increase virility the gonads of poachers increase virility their muscles increase strength leg bones increase stamina brains decrease intelligence and must be discarded.

穿山甲不能增强偷猎者的性功能，反而能增强他们的肌肉，增加腿骨的力量，增强大脑的精力，减少智力，所以【这种偷猎行为】必须被抛弃。
