【英音模仿秀】与鲨共舞

模仿文本：

Now the Italian diver Cristina Zenato has spent the last 18 years getting up close and personal with sharks. She even has a unique gift for getting them to relax on her lap. No really, you can see her doing it on our Facebook page. Cristina says sharks get a bad press. Despite their fearsome reputation as ruthless¹ man-eating predators², they are much more likely to be killed by humans than the other way around.
