World Cup Octopus to retire

保羅將退休身世引爭(zhēng)議

Paul, the octopus who became a sensation by correctly predicting all 7 of Germany's games plus the Spain-Netherlands final, is going to retire, AP reported. The Sea Life Oberhausen Aquarium's spokesman said Monday that Paul will "go into retirement and do what he likes to do best: play with his handlers and delight children who come visit to him." Meanwhile, his nationality has come into question, with his German trainer saying he was caught in Italian waters, not born in England as first thought.

據(jù)美聯(lián)社報(bào)道，因準(zhǔn)確預(yù)測(cè)德國(guó)隊(duì)本次世界杯全部7場(chǎng)比賽以及西荷決賽結(jié)果而轟動(dòng)全球的章魚(yú)保羅將要退休了。德國(guó)奧博豪森水族館發(fā)言人12日稱(chēng)，保羅退休后將做自己喜歡做的事情，和飼養(yǎng)員玩或者和來(lái)參觀的小朋友玩。同時(shí)，保羅的身世也成了問(wèn)題，保羅的一個(gè)飼養(yǎng)員稱(chēng)，保羅是在意大利的海域里捕到的，而不是先前認(rèn)為的出生在英格蘭。
