斯德哥尔摩：本周三，来自斯堪的那维亚半岛和波罗的海诸国的海岸警卫队进行了针对海上石油突发泄漏事件的抢险演习，在此过程中他们使用了爆米花来模拟石油漂浮层，这令海鸥们甚为欣喜。

　　来往频繁的油轮使这片海域一直处于可能发生石油泄漏的高度警戒状态下，而世界自然基金会估计，在未来10年里，仅从波罗的海通过的油轮数就可能翻一番。

　　“爆玉米花不错……因为我们不想引起更多的污染，而且大自然会处理好我们没有收回的这些东西，”瑞典海岸警卫队发言人卡尔·古斯达夫·冯·库努对路透社的记者说。“而且它们也会像石油一样在水面上扩散开来。”这次演习一共使用了10立方米的爆米花，聚集过来的海鸥们兴奋地围着一艘油轮、9艘海上巡逻艇和2艘拖轮，这些船只参加了位于瑞典西海岸的布鲁夫尔德炼油厂附近的演习。

　　STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Coast guards from Scandinavia and the Baltic states delighted seagulls Wednesday by using popcorn to simulate an oil slick as they carried out an oil-spill emergency drill.

　　The area is permanently on high alert for spills because of intense tanker traffic, which the World Wide Fund for Nature estimates could double in the next 10 years in the Baltic alone.

　　"Popcorn is good...as we don't want to cause any more pollution and nature will take care of what we don't pick up," Swedish Coast Guard spokesman Karl Gustav von Konow told Reuters. "It also spreads like oil on the water's surface." Ten cubic meters of popcorn were used. The excited seagulls flocked around the oil tanker, nine coast guard vessels and two tugboats taking part in the drill near the Brofjord refinery on the west coast of Sweden.(听英文53683)
