英雄老鼠马加瓦即将退休

Magawa the rat, who was awarded a gold medal for his heroism, is retiring from his job detecting landmines. In a five-year career, the rodent sniffed out 71 landmines and dozens more unexploded items in Cambodia. But his handler says the seven-year-old African giant pouched rat is "slowing down" as he reaches old age, and she wants to "respect his needs".

因其英勇表现而被授予金奖章的老鼠马加瓦即将从其探测地雷的工作中退休。在五年的职业生涯中，这只啮齿动物在柬埔寨嗅出了71枚地雷和几十件未爆炸的物品。但他的驯兽员说，这只7岁的非洲巨鼠随着年龄的增长而“变慢”了，她想“尊重他的需求”。
