video shows Australian surfer’s close call with shark
無人機影片顯示澳洲衝浪客驚險躲過鯊魚攻擊
【摘要2020.11.11.自由】◎管淑平
A great white
shark circled to within inches of pro surfer Matt Wilkinson’s board before
darting away in a chilling encounter captured by a drone that is part of an
Australian shark warning system.
一隻大白鯊環繞著專業衝浪手麥特．威金森逐步逼近，但就在離他的衝浪板僅數吋之際，突然飛快游走。這段令人毛骨悚然的遭遇過程，都被一具澳洲鯊魚警示系統的無人機拍下。
The 1.5 meter
shark might have been deterred from attacking Wilkinson by the unfamiliar touch
of a leg rope on its snout or the overhead noise of the drone, officials said
on Thursday.
官員週四說，這隻長1.5公尺的鯊魚，也許是因為被腳繩碰觸到其口鼻的不熟悉觸感，或者上空無人機的噪音嚇跑，才沒有攻擊威金森。
The 32-year-old
surfer said he never saw the shark while he was paddling his board but heard a
fin or tail break the water’s surface during the recreational surf on Wednesday
off the tourist town of Ballina.
這名32歲的衝浪手週三在巴利納鎮外海衝浪消遣，他說當時他在板上划水，完全沒看到鯊魚，但是聽到魚鰭或魚尾拍打水面的聲音。
