野狼又来袭（二）
Wolf Population Booms Near Cities

Spanish wolf recolonization has resulted in a threefold increase in the animal population in a decade. The growing population has some Spanish residents unhappy. "Wolves can live thanks to urban people's tolerance," Juan Carlos Blanco, of Madrid's Wolf Project, tells the Times. "But farmers say, ' Kill all of them.' There is no common ground. We have a social war in the name of the wolf."

*recolonization：我们来看一下这个词：re + colonize(a) + tion，colonize是“开拓、殖民”的意思，对动、植物来说则是“移植，移生”的意思，那么合起来recolonization就是“再度移民、重新移生”了。这里指野狼的卷土重来。
*tolerance：宽容，容忍。其动词形式是“tolerate”，比如：The school cannot tolerate cheating on exams.(学校不容许考试作弊。)专家认为，野狼之所以能大量繁衍，要归因于都市居民对其的宽容。
*common ground：共同点，共同基础。Common后加名词，可组成许多类似的词。例如，common sense（常识，判断力）；common salt（食盐）；common seal（公司企业等的公章）。

The situation is no less volatile in other countries. In Italy, the wolf has become so popular with the public that wildlife experts are having a hard time convincing people of the need for wolf population control.

*volatile：不稳定的，爆炸性的。这里指野狼发展的情势在其他国家也是爆炸性的。如意大利，野狼深受大众喜爱，要说服他们认识到控制野狼数量的必要性不是那么容易。

In Kazakhstan, where the wolf population ranges between 90,000 and 100,000 animals, wolves killed an estimated 150,000 domestic animals and 14,000 wild animals in one year, and rabid wolves have reportedly attacked 50 humans.

*domestic animals：家畜。Domestic在这里指“驯养的”。此外，它有个常用的意思是“国内的，本国的”。比如，China's domestic affairs（中国内政）；“国货”就可以说“domestics”（这里是名词）。
*rabid：狂暴的。据报道，在Kazakhstan(哈萨克斯坦)，有50人次受到野狼的攻击。

Still, wolves are not flourishing in every country. In Croatia, even a $6,000 fine for the killing of a wolf has not stopped the slaughter of the species. "It went the opposite of expectations," Djuro Huber of the University of Zagreb says in the Times. "Killing of wolves increased after protection. Over 40. No one has paid the fine." Croatia now has about 100 wolves.

*flourishing：茂盛的，欣欣向荣的。比如，a flourishing business就是指“生意兴隆的企业”。文中说，并不是在每个国家都有那么多野狼。
*slaughter：屠杀。在Croatia(克罗地亚)，杀死一头狼要罚6000美元，但仍挡不住人们对其的捕杀。
