苏格兰小猪归心似箭 漂洋过海游回家

2011-07-26来源:国际在线
  Pigs can't fly - but this pair of homesick Tamworth boar crosses can certainly swim.

  猪儿们虽然没有凌空飞翔的本事,不过这对恋家心切的塔姆沃思小猪儿的泳技是在了得。

  They took to the water like pigs to mud after they were put out to pasture on the uninhabited island of Longa off the North West Scottish coast.

  在被放养在苏格兰海岸西北部岛屿上无人照看的龙格牧场之后,这两只小家伙就像猪拱泥巴拔秧,硬是走水路游了回来。

  Named Mary and Truffle by their owner, James Cameron was startled to discover they had returned home the day after he left them and their swim across the sea was caught on camera.

  这两只小猪分别名叫Mary和Truffle,它们的主人James Camero在将它们放养后的第二天万分惊讶地发现,有摄像机竟然记录下了这两只小家伙奋泳前进横跨海洋,只为回到家园的壮举。

  Holidaymaker Jay Goss, 31, watched in amazement from his parents' seaside cottage at Big Sands in Wester Ros.

  31岁的Jay Goss是一位旅游者,他在父母位于韦斯特罗斯大金沙海滨的小木屋中目睹了这一切,并且被深深地怔住了。

  At first he thought they were otters but soon realised they had snouts. He said: 'The sea was a mill pond and the two wee chaps swam 1.5km to the mainland. It was incredible. They reached the shore and were shivering and nervous.'

  一开始,他还以为那是两只水獭,不过很快他就意识到露出水面的两只猪鼻子,他说:“大海可不是闹着玩的,这两只小猪起码游了1.5公里才抵达了海岸。刚一上岸,他俩显得相当紧张,并且止不住的发抖。”。
