    一只重约400磅、名叫“猪排”的宠物猪目前被佛罗里达州动物保护和控制中心收容。

    The massive pig was taken from its owner Kelly Jacobson during a Thursday night eviction1 in Northwood Village.

    周四晚上,在诺斯伍德村的一次清理活动中,这头巨大的猪被从它的主人凯利·雅各布森身边带走。

    Concerned about the animal's health, officials said they took the pig because it was severely2 obese3, had a skin condition and needed its tusks4 and nails groomed5.

    考虑到这头猪的健康状况,工作人员表示,带走这头猪是因为它严重肥胖,有皮肤病,需要修剪它的牙齿和指甲。

    The pig is so heavy that the officers had to use straps6 to support his weight to help him walk, with one at his front and the other at his back.

    这头猪太重了,工作人员不得不用皮带来支撑它的体重,一根在它的前面,另一根在它的后面。

    His owner, Kelly Jacobson, 38, was visibly upset as he was carried away and loaded into a van, telling a reporter "I need him".

    它的主人,38岁的凯利·雅各布森,在它被抬到一辆货车上的时候,显然很沮丧,并告诉记者“我需要它”。
