Farmer paints his flock orange to prevent rustling in Dartmoor.

閱讀難度：

A farmer in southwestern England painted his entire flock of sheep orange to discourage thieves, the Daily Telegraph reports.

John Heard, 48, has put his flock of 250 blackface ewes through a harmless dip of orange dye making them so highly visible that cautious thieves are giving them a wide berth.

Heard had lost 200 sheep over the past few years but says the orange dye is working, and he hasn't lost one this year. （點(diǎn)擊《每日電訊報(bào)》查看原文）

牧場(chǎng)主將羊染色防被盜

???????據(jù)英國(guó)《每日電訊報(bào)》報(bào)道，為了防賊偷羊，英國(guó)西南地區(qū)的一位牧場(chǎng)主把他的整個(gè)羊群都染成了橙色。

???????48歲的約翰·赫德用一種無(wú)害的染色劑把250只黑面母羊染成了極其顯眼的橙色，小心謹(jǐn)慎的竊賊也就離羊群遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)的。

???????過(guò)去幾年間，赫德已經(jīng)丟失了200只羊。據(jù)他說(shuō)橙色染料確實(shí)管用，今年他還一只羊都沒(méi)丟過(guò)。
