Boy's Body Found After Alligator Attack at Disney

短吻鱷襲擊迪士尼后發(fā)現(xiàn)男孩尸體

Police have recovered the body of a small boy who was attacked by an alligator at Walt Disney World, say officials in Florida.

佛羅里達(dá)官方稱，警方已在華特·迪斯尼世界找到一具被一只短吻鱷襲擊的小男孩的尸體。

The attack took place Tuesday night as the boy played at the edge of a lake on the grounds of the Seven Seas Lagoon.

襲擊發(fā)生于周二晚上，當(dāng)時(shí)這名男孩正在七海礁湖運(yùn)動(dòng)場(chǎng)的一個(gè)湖邊玩耍。

The victim was identified as two-year-old Lane Graves of Elkhorn, Nebraska by Orange County Sherriff Jerry Demings, reported the Associated Press.

據(jù)美聯(lián)社報(bào)道，這名受害者已經(jīng)被奧蘭治縣的謝里夫·杰里·德明斯確認(rèn)為來(lái)自內(nèi)布拉斯加州埃爾克霍恩的萊恩·格拉夫斯。

The boy and his family had gone to Walt Disney World for a vacation. They were wading in the water along a beach area when the alligator grabbed the boy. The boy was less than one meter from the shore when he was taken.

該男孩及其家人前往迪士尼世界度假。當(dāng)他們正沿著海灘區(qū)玩水時(shí)，鱷魚(yú)咬住了這名小男孩。該男孩被鱷魚(yú)咬住時(shí)離岸邊不到一米。

Demings said the boy’s father tried – but was unable – to pull the two-year-old from the jaws of the alligator. The animal was reported to be longer than one meter.

德明斯表示，該男孩的父親試圖從鱷魚(yú)嘴里奪回這個(gè)兩歲男孩，但是未能成功。據(jù)報(bào)道這條鱷魚(yú)體長(zhǎng)超過(guò)1米。

More than 50 people, including an alligator tracker, searched the area overnight. More searchers joined the hunt on Wednesday.

包括一名短吻鱷追蹤者在內(nèi)的50多人對(duì)該地區(qū)進(jìn)行了徹夜搜索。周三有更多人加入到這場(chǎng)搜尋中。

The Reuter news service says wildlife officials caught and killed five alligators to examine them for signs of the boy.

據(jù)路透社稱，野生動(dòng)物組織官員抓住并殺死了五條短吻鱷來(lái)追查這名男孩的蹤跡。

Officials say there have not been other alligator attacks at the lake, but signs in the area warned people not to swim. Beaches and docks along the man-made lake have been closed.

有關(guān)官員表示，該湖沒(méi)有出現(xiàn)過(guò)其它短吻鱷襲擊事件，但是該地區(qū)有標(biāo)志警告人們不要游泳。該人工湖沿岸的海灘和碼頭都已經(jīng)關(guān)閉。

The lake is connected to other bodies of water near Walt Disney World by canals, and it feeds into another, larger lake.

該湖通過(guò)運(yùn)河連接到迪士尼世界附近的其它水體，并流入另一個(gè)較大的湖泊。

Alligators are plentiful in Florida and many states in the southeastern part of the U.S. But experts say these kinds of attacks are not common.

短吻鱷在佛羅里達(dá)州和美國(guó)東南部很多州數(shù)量眾多。但是專家表示，這類襲擊事件并不常見(jiàn)。

Ten years ago, an alligator drowned a small boy at a lake outside of Orlando. The Associated Press reported that the alligator was found 20 hours later, still holding the boy in its jaws.

十年前，一條短吻鱷在奧蘭多之外的一個(gè)湖泊將一個(gè)小男孩咬住使之溺死。美聯(lián)社報(bào)道稱，20小時(shí)后該短吻鱷被發(fā)現(xiàn)，嘴里還咬著這名男孩。
