越南官方明令禁止吃猫，是为了鼓励人们多养猫以应对首都猖獗的老鼠。

Vietnam has forbidden the consumption of cats in an effort to encourage their ownership and keep the capital's rat population under control.

我知道您不会吃我的，现在有身份的猫谁还吃老鼠！

I know you won't eat me. Now the cats with dingity don't eat rats.

是这样的，夫人。您继续买药给老鼠吃吧，直到它肥得进不了洞，就可以被猫吃掉了。

Well ma'm, just continue to feed it to the rats, when they're too fat to crawl back into their holes, the cats will be able to catch them for sure.
