麻辣小龍蝦煮一半爬出鍋來斷臂逃生

A crayfish desperate to remove itself from the menu sacrificed one of its own claws to escape a boiling pot of spicy soup at a restaurant in China.

在中國的一家餐館，一只小龍蝦不顧一切地犧牲了自己的一只爪子，逃出一鍋沸騰的辣湯火鍋。

In footage viewed more than 900,000 times online, the crustacean is seen gripping one of its claws before successfully detaching it and fleeing.

在線瀏覽超過900,000次的視頻中，這只甲殼動物成功桎脫自己的一只爪子并成功逃出(火鍋)。

The dramatic film was captured by social media user Jiuke, who posted it on the popular Chinese platform Weibo.

這個戲劇性的視頻被社交媒體用戶Jiuke拍到，并在流行的中文平臺微博上發(fā)布。

Jiuke later told users of the site that he had adopted the crayfish as a pet.

Jiuke后來告訴該網站的用戶，他收留了小龍蝦把它當作寵物。

Weibo users had left comments in support of the courageous crayfish, urging "let him go" and "don’t eat him, seeing how hard he’s trying to survive", the Taiwan News website reported.

臺灣新聞網站報道，微博用戶發(fā)表了支持勇敢的小龍蝦的評論，呼吁“放了它”，“看到他努力生存有多難，別吃它”。

Juike then responded: "I let him live, I already took him home and am raising him in an aquarium."

Juike回答說：“我讓他活下來了，我已經把他帶回家，在魚缸里養(yǎng)著呢。”

China has found itself in the grip - or should that be the claws - of a crayfish food craze in recent years that has seen a boom in crayfish restaurants and farms.

近年來，中國的小龍蝦食品熱潮高漲，小龍蝦餐館和農場迅速興起。

The country is the world’s largest source of the crustaceans, according to China’s state news agency Xinhua, citing a report by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs.

據中國國家通訊社新華社援引農業(yè)和農村事務部的報道，該國是這種甲殼類動物在全世界范圍內最大的來源地。

Output in China rose to 852,300 tonnes in 2016 from 265,500 tonnes in 2007, Xinhua adds.

新華社補充說，中國產量從2007年的265,500噸增加到2016年的852,300噸。
