在白明的介紹下，我們認識了“美人魚”中的一位??胡萍。她今年19歲，大學一年級。
Bai Ming introduces us to one of the “mermaids” named Hu Ping, a 19-year-old first-year university student.
別看胡萍小小的年紀，幹這個工作已經有一年多的經歷了，開始的時候，身材瘦弱的她也經歷了一番磨練呢。
Hu Ping may be young, but she already has a year of experience doing this work. At the beginning, the thin, fragile Hu Ping had to undergo training.
在胡萍為我們表演的時候，我們發現很多小魚都十分配合胡萍的表演，跟著胡萍一起游動。這讓我們感到非常奇怪。難道胡萍在這一年多的時間裏，已經學會了和魚兒説話，能命令它們了？
As Hu Ping performs for us, we find that many of the little fish cooperated with her in her performance, swimming along with her. We find this surprising. Can it be that in just one year Hu Ping has learned to speak the language of the fishes, and can give them orders?

In our last episode when we interviewed shark trainers, nearly every trainer had experienced a shark attack.

在胡萍的眼裏，海龜是一種相當友善的動物。但是在馴養師和白明的眼裏，海龜可就不那麼“善良”了。
Hu Ping thinks that the sea turtle is a quite friendly animal. But the trainer and Bai Ming don’t consider the sea turtle to be so “friendly”.
