澳洲有爱袋鼠陪走失男孩取暖过夜

发布时间：2019-09-02 编辑：查字典英语网小编

A boy lost in the wilderness was saved by a kangaroo. That’s the story floating around after Simon Kruger, a 7-year-old boy, was rescued from Australia’s Deep Creek Conservation Park.

7岁男孩西蒙-克鲁格在澳大利亚阿德莱德的深溪保护区公园走失，因袋鼠帮助取暖而得以获救。

According to Australia’s 7 News, the saga began when Simon wandered off Saturday after the family ate a picnic lunch.

根据澳大利亚7News的报道，周六西蒙一家在公园里野餐，后来西蒙一个人在丛林里闲逛。

Apparently the lost boy drifted away to pick flowers for his mom.

显然，男孩走失是因为想要为妈妈摘一些野花。

Instead, he got hopelessly lost — and without adequate warm clothing to stay out overnight in the forest.

但是，他却不幸走丢了。而且他没有穿着可以在丛林里度过一夜的御寒衣服。

A police search, including helicopters, followed. But Simon wasn’t found for 24 hours — even though he was ultimately discovered only about half a kilometer from the family’s campsite. His father Etienne Kruger thinks his son was disoriented when the rain and wind swept in after he got lost.

警方随后出动搜寻走失男孩，甚至派出了直升机。虽然最后西蒙在距离父母的露营地只有半公里远的地方被发现，但他还是失踪了24小时之久。孩子的父亲艾蒂安认为，孩子可能是因为刮风下雨而迷失了方向。

However it happened, Simon wasn’t found for almost a full 24 hours. The overnight weather was cold and wet, dropping to a low of around 43 degrees Fahrenheit.

无论发生了什么，男孩走失长达24小时。在他走失的这一整夜又湿又冷，温度下降到了华氏43度（约为6摄氏度）。

So how did the lost boy survive the cold, wet night?

那么，小西蒙是如何抵御这彻夜的寒冷的呢？

The family said that Simon’s flowers for his mom attracted a kangaroo. His dad explained: “A kangaroo came closer to him and ate the flowers from him, and the kangaroo fell asleep next to him. I think God sent a kangaroo to keep him warm.”

西蒙一家表示，小男孩为妈妈采的花吸引了一只袋鼠。爸爸艾蒂安说，“有只袋鼠走近他，吃他手里的花，还睡在他身旁。我觉得是上帝派来一只袋鼠帮他取暖。”
