when i met miller in his tokyo office, he ruefully acknowledged that he and tsukamoto have come tantalizingly close to finding the parents of japanese eel hatchlings.
我在东京米勒的办公室见到他时,他沮丧地承认,他和塜本胜巳眼看就要找到新生日本鳗鲡的父母了。
the eob could be used as a good index for indicating the nutrition status of the japanese eel because it was sensitive to starvation.
