石虎是頂級消費者
Leopard Cats are Top Consumers
在參加科博館的活動中，介紹人說: “石虎是頂級消費者。”
Wife: “石虎是頂級消費者? 他是拿金卡的VIP嗎?”
慶: “這個頂級消費者，我猜是食物鏈裡面那個頂端的意思，不是百貨公司VIP那個頂級客戶的意思。”
Wife: “那人類呢?”
慶: “人類可以獵殺各類動物，就又高一層上去。”
Wife: “所以人類是VVIP ?!”
慶: “…”
At an event at the National Museum of Natural Science, the introducer said, “Leopard cats are top consumers.”
Wife: “Are leopard cats top consumers? Are they VIPs with gold cards?”
Ching: “I guess this ‘top consumer’ refers to the top of the food chain, not the ‘VIP customers’ of department stores.”
Wife: “What about humans?”
Ching: “Humans can hunt all kinds of animals, so they’re a level higher.”
Wife: “So humans are VVIPs?!”
Ching: “…”
關於頂級消費者 (About top consumers)
頂級消費者（或稱最高級消費者、頂級掠食者）是指在食物鏈中處於最高層，且沒有天敵的生物，通常以其他消費者為食。 這類生物能夠獵食其他較低層級的消費者，並透過其他生物的死亡獲得能量。
A top consumer (also known as a highest-level consumer or top predator) is an organism at the top of a food chain that has no natural enemies and typically feeds on other consumers. Such an organism can prey on lower-level consumers and gain energy from the deaths of other organisms.

人類是頂級消費者 (Humans are top consumers)
人類在生態系統中屬於雜食性的 “頂級消費者”（或稱頂級掠食者），因為他們以多種生物為食，且在食物鏈中位於最高層，沒有天敵，能捕食其他動物，並能廣泛利用不同生態系統的資源。
Humans are omnivorous “top consumers” (or top predators) in ecosystems because they feed on a wide variety of organisms, are at the top of the food chain, have no natural enemies, can prey on other animals, and can make extensive use of resources in different ecosystems.
