Despite the widespread fear of these enormous predators, great white shark attacks are rarely fatal. Most of the attacks are "sample bites" from the curious fish as they try to decide whether to go through the effort of a full attack. Luckily, they usually decide against making people their next meal. Photograph by Eric Hanauer/Alamy 意译：不论人们对大白鲨的广泛担心，是其为凶暴的食肉动物，大白鲨的攻击是很少致命的，许多的攻击只是：“简单的咬一口”对一些古怪的鱼，大白鲨决定是否进行一次全力的袭击。幸运的，它们通常是决定反击人们把它们作为美餐。

Girl with Pumpkin, Louisiana, 2004 Photograph by Ken Kochey In New Orleans, a young girl in a Halloween dress struggles to lift a large pumpkin. The tradition of carving pumpkins during Halloween began in the United Kingdom, where for centuries people cut scary faces into potatoes, turnips, and even large beets to dissuade evil spirits from entering their homes. Early European immigrants to America made these so-called jack-o'-lanterns from pumpkins, which are indigenous to North America and make an ideal canvas for such carved art. 意译：主标题：当天的图片。小女孩和南瓜，路易斯安那州，2004年。 在新奥尔良，一位小女孩在万圣节穿上童装力争举起一个大南瓜。这是传统的习俗――雕刻南瓜，万圣节开始在联合王国，那在许多世纪以前人们制造使人恐怖的面具如：土豆、甘蓝、甜菜等来劝阻邪恶的幽灵不要进入他们的家。最早从欧洲到美国的移民用南瓜来制造这些所谓的鬼火或空心南瓜灯，那个是北美本土人制造一种理念例如：“雕刻南瓜艺术。” 引自“美国国家地理杂志”――当天的图片（2007-10-31）
