世界上最后一头雄性白犀牛Sudan死了（双语）

The world's last surviving male northern white rhino has died after months of ill health, his carers said.

他的护理人员说，世界上最后一只幸存的雄性白犀牛在几个月的健康状况不佳后死亡。

Sudan, 45, lived at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya. He was put to sleep on Monday after age-related complications worsened significantly.

45岁的Sudan住在肯尼亚的奥佩塔省。在与年龄相关的并发症严重恶化后，它于周一被安乐死。

His death leaves only two females - his daughter and granddaughter - of the subspecies alive in the world.

它留下了两个母犀牛——它的女儿和孙女——在这个世界上存活的亚种。

Hope for preserving the northern white rhino now lies in developing in vitro fertilisation (IVF) techniques.

保护北方白犀牛的希望在于体外受精(IVF)技术的发展。

It is with great sadness that Ol Pejeta Conservancy and the Dvůr Králové Zoo announce that Sudan, the world’s last male northern white rhino, age 45, died at Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya on March 19th, 2018 (yesterday).

令人悲伤的是，在奥佩塔瓦保护协会，世界上最后一只雄性白犀牛，也就是45岁的Sudan，于2018年3月19日(昨天)在肯尼亚的Ol Pejeta保护区去世。

Attempts to use Sudan to prolong the species with the two surviving female rhinos had failed, and an account was created for him on the dating app Tinder last year, not to find love, but to help fund the development of IVF for rhinos.

试图利用Sudan来延长这两只幸存的雌犀牛的物种已经失败了，并且去年在Tinder【注：一个约炮APP】上为他创建了一个账号，不是为了寻找真爱，而是为犀牛的体外受精的发展提供资金。

The move won him fans across the world - fans who will now be mourning his death and the northern white rhino's proximity to extinction.

这一举动为他赢得了全世界的粉丝，粉丝们现在将为他的死而哀悼，而北方白犀牛则濒临灭绝。

Sudan's genetic material was collected on Monday, conservationists said, to support future attempts to reproduce northern white rhinos through advanced cellular technologies, using stored semen and eggs from the remaining females, Najin and Fatu.

自然资源保护人士说，Sudan的遗传物质是在周一收集的，以支持未来通过先进的细胞技术复制北部白犀牛的尝试，使用储存的Sudan精液以及剩余的两头雌性Najin和Fatu的卵子。

The male rhino, who was the equivalent of 90 in human years, was being treated for degenerative changes in his muscles and bones, combined with extensive skin wounds.

这头公犀牛，相当于人类的90岁，由于肌肉和骨骼的变性变化，以及大面积的皮肤伤口，正在接受治疗。

He was unable to stand up and was suffering a great deal in his last 24 hours, Ol Pejeta Conservancy tweeted on Tuesday.

他无法站起来，在过去的24小时里忍受着巨大的痛苦。

周二，Pejeta保护组织在推特上写道

Sudan will be remembered for his unusually memorable life. In the 1970s, he escaped extinction of his kind in the wild when he was moved to Dvůr Králové Zoo. Throughout his existence, he significantly contributed to survival of his species as he sired two females.

Sudan将因其非同寻常的难忘生活而被铭记。在20世纪70年代，当它被转移到德国的Kralove动物园时，他逃脱了野生物种的灭绝。在他的一生中，他为他的物种的生存做出了巨大贡献，因为他有两个妹子。
