鱷魚在小學生們玩水的地方游泳

It sounds like a scene from a monster movie.

聽起來像是怪物電影里的場景。

Children from a church group were playing in a creek in West Alexandria, Ohio, on Wednesday evening when one of their leaders spotted a 7-foot-long crocodile swimming nearby.

周三晚上，一個教會團體的孩子們在俄亥俄州西亞歷山大市的一條小溪里玩耍，他們的一位帶隊人發(fā)現(xiàn)附近有一條7英尺長的鱷魚在游泳。

There were 16 kids -- all first- through sixth-graders -- playing in Bantas Fork Creek, and adults were in the water and on a small bridge to keep an eye on them, according to Rick Turnbull, who helps teach the children.

據(jù)幫助教導孩子們的里克特恩布爾說，當時有16名孩子在班塔斯?？讼嫠＃麄兌际且荒昙壍搅昙壍膶W生，大人們在水中和在一座小橋上看著他們。

Another adult "saw something in the water, a shadowy object moving, and he yelled down to the person on that side of the bridge and shouted 'get the kids out of the water,' " Turnbull said.

特恩布爾說，另一個成年人“看到水里有東西，一個模糊的物體在移動，他朝橋那邊的人喊道，‘讓孩子們從水里出來’。”

Rich Denius was in the water with one of his sons and helped get the children to safety.

瑞馳丹尼斯和他的一個兒子在水里，幫助孩子們安全。

"Give Jesus all the glory for protecting these kids," Denius said.

“把所有的榮耀都歸給耶穌，因為他保護了這些孩子。”丹尼斯說。

The crocodile was about 20 feet away by the time everyone got out of the creek. Turnbull said it swam right under the bridge they were standing on.

當大家從河里出來的時候，鱷魚已經(jīng)離我們大約20英尺遠了。特恩布爾說它就在他們所站的橋底下游過去了。

It was probably a pet

它可能是一只寵物

Crocodiles are not native to Ohio, and the state's veterinarian said it was probably a pet that someone dumped when it got too big.

鱷魚并不是俄亥俄州的本土動物，該州的獸醫(yī)說，鱷魚可能是有人在它長得太大時拋棄的寵物。

"This was the first sighting, so he probably hadn't been in there very long," Dr. Tony Forshey said.

“這是第一次看到它，所以它可能在里面待的時間不長，”托尼·福西博士說。

It's an unforgettable lesson

這是難忘的一節(jié)課

Turnbull said the church group takes the children down to the creek a couple of times each summer, when the water's warm, to study nature as part of their lessons.

特恩布爾說，這個教會組織每年夏天都會帶孩子們?nèi)バ∠厧状?，當水變暖的時候，把研究大自然作為他們課程的一部分。

On Wednesday, they discussed how some fish will gather together near a light source to protect themselves from predators.

周三，他們討論了一些魚如何聚集在光源附近以保護自己免受捕食者的傷害。

"It was wild that we'd had a lesson about predators lurking in the shadows," he said.

“我們上了一堂關(guān)于潛伏在陰暗處的捕食者的課，真是太瘋狂了，”他說。

"It's a lesson that these kids will never forget," he said.

“這些孩子永遠不會忘記這一課，”他說。
