大家好～Friday福来day终于来啦！今天咱们来看一些好玩的新闻。
This little Kaikoura piggy had lunch with police
这只凯库拉小猪和警察共进午餐
A police officer and pig have become unlikely friends.
一名警官和一只猪成为了最不可能的朋友。
unlikely：不大可能发生的
unlikely friends：指差异巨大、不可能成为朋友的人
It could have been goodbye pork pie for the starving school pet, stranded in Kaikoura after this month's earthquake, if not for police feeding it.
对这只在凯库拉地震后因为隔离而忍饥挨饿的学校宠物来说，要不是警方喂它，它早就被做成猪肉馅饼了。
goodbye pork pie：一部1981年拍摄的新西兰电影，由Geoff Murphy执导。在电影里，“Pork Pie”是主人公驾驶的Mini车的昵称。在这里，显然是引用了本意——如果没人喂这只小猪，小猪就只能被做成猪肉馅饼。
starve：饥饿
strand：使滞留；使搁浅
feed：喂食
New Zealand Police posted on social media today saying they were called when the wild pig stopped people getting into their school.
