A pacu fish, known for eating human testicles, has been captured in Lake Lou Yaeger in Illinois, the Department of Natural Resources has stated. The fish is a relative of the piranha, which is known for its sharp teeth and vicious nature.
美国自然资源部近日表示，美国伊利诺伊州劳耶格尔湖发现帕库食人鱼，据称这种食人鱼专咬男性生殖器，与以锋利的牙齿和凶残的本性著称的比拉食人鱼同属一类。
"The red-bellied pacu is the cousin of a very well-known fish that terrorizes swimmers in made-for-TV movies and on the big screen: the piranha," notes the Discovery channel. "These family members sure know how to use their sharp teeth to make their prey scream for mercy."
《探索发现》频道称，“红腹帕库食人鱼是比拉食人鱼的近亲，比拉食人鱼非常有名，在电视电影中和大银幕电影中让游泳者感到恐怖。这些食人鱼当然知道如何利用锋利的牙齿让猎物求饶。”
Although the pacu normally stick to a fruit, nut, and insect diet, they have been known to eat other fish as well as human flesh. In 2001, two fishermen bled to death after being bitten in the genital region. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources has assured residents that it is safe to swim in Lake Lou Yaeger and that attacks by the pacu are extremely rare.
尽管帕库食人鱼一般吃水果、坚果和昆虫，但他们也吃其它鱼类，还咬人。在2001年，曾有两位渔夫因被食人鱼咬掉生殖器后流血死亡。伊利诺伊州自然资源部已向居民做出保证，在劳耶格尔湖游泳是安全的，被帕库食人鱼攻击的风险非常低。
The pacu are native to the Amazon, and it is believed that any found in the lake are former pets illegally dumped into the water. Anyone found guilty of dumping the fish could face charges. Thankfully, no one was injured by the pacu in Lake Lou Yaeger.
帕库食人鱼原产于亚马逊地区，据称河中发现的食人鱼都曾被养做宠物，后又被非法放生。将食人鱼放生的人将面临指控。幸运的是劳耶格尔湖还没人被帕库食人鱼攻击而受伤。
Piranhas have long terrorized American audiences, with their ferocious appetites and need for meat. The fish were featured in a Bond film, "You Only Live Twice," as well as their own films "Piranha" and "Piranha II: The Spawning." In these films, the fish have an insatiable appetite for human flesh exclusively.
比拉食人鱼一直让美国观众感到恐怖，它们生性凶残，爱吃肉食。“邦德”系列影片《雷霆谷》、食人鱼影片《食人鱼》和《食人鱼2：繁殖》中都讲述过食人鱼的故事。在这些影片中，食人鱼非常喜食人
In 2010, "Piranha 3D" was released, allowing for a new generation of audiences to be horrified by the fish. It is more likely, though, that piranhas will eat smaller fish or their own if desperately hungry.
2010年，影片《食人鱼3D》上映，让新一代的观众们也饱受食人鱼的惊吓。但通常食人鱼在极度饥饿时会捕食更小的鱼类或者互相残杀。
The Department of Natural Resources has stated that if there are more pacu in the lake, they are not a threat to residents.
美国自然资源部称，如果湖中出现更多的帕库食人鱼，它们对居民也不会造成威胁。
