[双语新闻] 墨西哥现大量鱼群 或跟日本地震有关

 

Thousands of sardines, anchovies, stripped bass and mackerel surged along the coast of the Mexican resort in an event believed to be linked to the devastating Japanese tsunami.

成千上万尾沙丁鱼、凤尾鱼、鲈鱼和鲭鱼集体在这个墨西哥海湾扎堆，据称这与当天在日本列岛大规模地震所引发的巨大海啸有关。

Delighted fishermen rushed out in wooden motor boats, abandoning their rods and nets and simply scooping the fish up with buckets.

不少兴高采烈的渔夫们划着木船靠近鱼群，他们放弃了渔网和鱼竿，用水桶捞鱼，几乎不费吹灰之力便可满载而归。

The fishermen attributed the strange phenomenon to the unusual currents unleashed by tsunami that followed the earthquake in Japan.

渔夫们认为，出现鱼类大规模聚集这样的奇观，与日本地区所发生的大海啸有关，海啸致使水流发生了改变。

Experts couldn't be sure.

然而专家们却对此难下断言。

"It would fall into that category where you would love to make the connection, but who knows?" said Rich Briggs, a geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey.

“这种情况下人们总是喜欢将两个事物联系起来，但是谁都说不好。”美国地质调查局的地质学家里奇·布里格斯表示。

"Tsunamis can change local currents, but it's hard to make a firm connection."

“海啸的确会改变当地的自然条件，但是很难确定这两件事之间有关联。”
