Vegan activists have covered meat products with disturbing anti-meat stickers in some of the Australia's biggest supermarket chains.
在澳大利亚几家最大的连锁超市,一些肉类产品被激进的素食主义者贴上了“反对吃肉” 贴纸,让人感到相当焦虑。
Disturbing:令人焦虑的,使人忧虑的;让人心烦的
Many of the stickers, which have been spotted on meat for sale at some Woolworths and Coles stores, resemble the confronting health warnings found on cigarette packages.
在Woolworths和Coles超市一些门店售卖的肉类包装上,发现了很多这类贴纸。这些贴纸看起来就像是香烟盒上的那种健康警示。

One features a photo of a diseased foot with the caption: "Meat consumption causes diabetes" while another has a photo of what appears to be heart surgery accompanied by the text: "Meat consumption causes heart disease".
其中一张印着一只烂脚,图片说明写着“食用肉类会导致糖尿病”,另外一张图片看起来像是心脏手术,说明写着“食用肉类会导致心脏病”。

Caption:(图书、杂志或报纸图片的)说明文字

One sticker, which includes a distressing photo of a dead cow, comes with the slogan: "You can't regulate violence. You can only abolish it" while another asks: "How can you be an animal lover and eat dead animals?"

Abolish:废除,废止
While the stickers were found in only several stores, neither Coles or Woolworths have taken kindly to the guerilla tactics, with both supermarket chains reportedly contacting police over the stickers.
