Half-Eaten Shark Washes up on Florida Beach(翻译)

Last year, VOA Learning English wrote about a strange “Ice Monster” caught on video in Alaska.
去年，美国之音英语学习栏目曾写到过一篇新闻，其内容是：阿拉斯加州被视频捕捉到的一只奇怪的“冰上怪物”。

Many internet users thought a piece of frozen rope in a river was actually a monster, like the Loch Ness monster in Scotland.
许多网民认为，河里一段冰冻的绳子实际上是怪物，就好像苏格兰的尼斯湖水怪。

Now there is a new water-related mystery.
现在又有一个与水有关的新谜团。

Over the weekend, people on a Florida beach found a half-eaten shark.
周末，人们在佛罗里达海滩发现了一条被吃掉一半的鲨鱼。

Officials in Volusia County said the shark was a blacktip or spinner shark, slightly less than two meters long.
沃卢西亚县官员表示，这条鲨鱼是黑鳍鲨或蔷薇真鲨，身长不到两米。

People are trying to figure out what took a bite out of the shark.
人们努力弄明白究竟是什么动物咬了这条鲨鱼。

The county is home to the well-known Daytona Beach and has a large number of shark reports each year.
沃卢西亚县有著名的代托纳比齐海滩，这里每年都有大量的有关鲨鱼的报道。

The Orlando Sentinel newspaper reported in late 2016 three surfers in the area suffered non-fatal shark bites on the same day.
《奥兰多前哨报》曾在2016年年末报道，一天内，该地区三名冲浪者遭到了非致命鲨鱼的袭击。

Florida wildlife officials say two large great white sharks were seen in the area this winter.The sharks were a little more than four meters long.
佛罗里达野生动物官员称，今年冬天在该地区曾看到过两条巨大的白鲨。它们四米多长。

Many news organizations posted about the shark discovery on Twitter.
许多新闻机构在推特上发布了探索鲨鱼的帖子。

Some comments on the stories included: “just a reminder there is always someone bigger than you.”
针对这些新闻的评论有：“就是想提醒你，总有人比你更强大。”

The Florida Program for Shark Research is part of the University of Florida. In response to the story, the program said “it’s a shark-eat-shark world out there.”
佛罗里达鲨鱼研究项目是佛罗里达大学的一部分。该项目针对这则新闻回应到，“如今是鲨鱼吃鲨鱼的世界。”

One Twitter user wrote “megalodon got him!”
一名推特用户写道“是巨牙鲨咬的！”

Megalodon was a predecessor to today’s great white sharks, thought to have lived many millions of years ago.
巨牙鲨是现在大白鲨的祖先，生活在数百万年以前。
