But sadly, unlike whales, the Taiwanese public's conception of whale sharks has not gone beyond chunks of fish meat on restaurant platters, and the gigantic carcasses laid out in fishing harbors that get used as backgrounds for tourist snaps.
可惜的是，相較於鯨魚，鯨鯊在台灣人心中，仍停留在餐廳一盤盤料理裡的零碎魚肉，與巨大魚體被捕獲後攤死在港口，成為遊客爭相拍照的背景。
