About
two dozen monkeys broke out of a southwestern German zoo and spent the day
lolling in the sun near a forest before being recaptured, authorities said
Thursday.
當局週四說，約24隻猴子逃出了德國西南部一間動物園，被抓回以前，於附近森林在陽光下慵懶閒晃一整天。
The
Barbary macaques, escaped from the zoo in Loeffingen, southwest of Stuttgart
and not far from the Swiss border. It was not entirely clear how they got away,
but construction work at the zoo might have been a factor, police said.
這些巴巴利獼猴從斯圖加特市西南方距離瑞士邊境不遠的勒芬根鎮動物園逃脫。警方說，還不完全清楚牠們是如何跑掉的，但該園的建造工程可能是個因素。
The
primates were spotted roaming the area in a pack, but zoo employees were unable
to recapture them and eventually lost track of them. A few hours later they
were spotted, recaptured and returned to their cages without incident, police
said.
這些靈長類動物被發現在該區域成群漫遊，但動物園的工作人員無法把牠們抓回去，最後失去其蹤跡。警方說，幾小時後，牠們被發現、捕獲並順利送回籠子。
"The
animals apparently took advantage of the nice weather and spent the afternoon
on the edge of a forest near the zoo," police said.
警方說，「這些動物顯然利用好天氣，在動物園附近的森林邊緣度過午後。」
