【读新闻学英语】因“大战鳄鱼”成名的澳洲网红小狗奋力冲向鳄鱼 但这次......【视频】

A saltwater crocodile has eaten a dog that made a mockery of it for years, to the horror of onlookers. 

一条咸水鳄鱼吃了一只多年来凶它的小狗，还是在旁观者的惊恐注目下。

mockery：嘲弄；玩弄

onlooker：旁观者；观众

At Goat Island Lodge, guests had gathered to watch pup Pippa perform her favourite trick — running at Casey the crocodile to scare her back into the river. But to the alarm of those looking on, including owner Kai Hansen, Pippa ran straight at her head — and Casey "did what crocs do”.

山羊岛旅馆的客人们聚在一起观看小狗Pippa表演她最喜欢的游戏——冲向鳄鱼Casey然后把它赶回河里。但是让所有旁观者（包括主人Kai Hansen）意外的是，Pippa气势汹汹的冲向鳄鱼的头部，然后Casey做了“所有鳄鱼会做的事情”。

pup：小狗；幼畜

The video of Pippa being dragged into the water was made worse by the screams of bystanders, but serves as a bleak warning about the river's dangers. As Mr Hansen conceded, "it was something that had a high probability of happening sometime”.

Pippa被鳄鱼叼回河里的过程被视频捕捉到了，更糟的是视频中还有旁观者的尖叫声。这也是对当地河流危险性的一个警告。连Hansen先生也承认：“这种事情迟早会发生”。

bystander：旁观者；看热闹的人

concede：承认；退让

Pippa became known to the world for chasing the crocodile more than 100 times her weight. "I've watched her do it hundreds of times," Hansen said. "It's certainly not something I've trained her to do. She's just this little terrier who has this little dog syndrome and she thinks she's equal to the croc if not bigger.”

Pippa因为驱赶体重超过它百倍的鳄鱼而闻名世界。Hansen说他看Pippa做过很多次。“我看着她做过上百次了。”他说，“这显然不是我训练她做的事情。她只是一只有着所有小狗脾性的小猎犬，她觉得自己和鳄鱼一样大或是更大。”

terrier：活泼的小狗；小猎犬

Hansen didn't think Casey lashed out because she was hungry. He said it was just an opportunity that finally presented itself. "[Pippa] just couldn't help herself ... It was very unfortunate. It's something that I wouldn't say inevitably had to happen, but it had a high probability of it happening at some time.”

Hansen并不认为Casey狂性发作是因为饥饿了。他说鳄鱼只是看到了出现在它面前的机会然后把我住了。他说：“Pippa管不住自己…这是一件不幸的事，我不能说这件事的发生难以避免，但我确实有很大可能在某个时候发生。”

inevitably：不可避免地；必然地
