《中英對照看新聞》The dog has a thing about thongs英國「色狗」迷戀丁字褲

Bull mastiff Deefer has a thing about thongs - he’s eaten ten in a year from the Hall family’s bathroom.

鬥牛獒犬「迪佛」，對丁字褲情有獨鍾，牠一年就從飼主霍爾家中的浴室叼來10件，吞進肚子。

But the pedigree pet bit off more than he could chew when he nibbled on a pink lace G-string.

不過，這隻純種寵物大啖一條粉紅色超性感蕾絲丁字褲後，嚐到「不自量力」的苦果。

The lingerie got lodged in his intestines - and the surgery to remove it cost £1,162.

這條貼身內褲卡在牠的腸子內─動手術取出花了1,162英鎊（約台幣3萬8千元）。

The dog only enjoys women’s underwear, the smaller the better, with most of the swallowed underwears belonging to owner Mrs. Hall’s 15-year-old daughter.

這隻狗只愛吃女性內褲，越小件牠越喜歡，被吞下肚的內褲，多數是飼主霍爾太太15歲的女兒所有。

But there’s no pants shortage among the males in the house - her husband and three sons. Dad Cliff said Deefer is not interested in their boxer shorts and leaves them alone.

不過，家中的男性─霍爾太太的先生與3個兒子的內褲，一件也沒少。爸爸克里夫說，迪佛對他們的男性四角平口內褲沒興趣，碰都不碰。
