NBC晚间新闻 父女钓鱼时见到鲸鱼

Now here's a whale of a tale, take a look. And take a closer look at ten-year-old Sarah Russell's reaction. Fishing with dad Shawn in conception bay off the coast of Newfoundland in Canada, two humpback whales weighing about 45 tons each suddenly left skyward. It was crazy. At first Sarah was scared, who wouldn't be. Now what do you think of that? But dad was there to reassure¹ her.

We tried to stay our distance but they're curious and they'll come in to check you out. Whales are plentiful² here but a whale ballet that's a different story. Little is known as to why wales breach³ so spectacularly but it is believed they are communicating with one another. Are you famous, Sarah, for telling fish tales? I catch the fish and dad tells the fish tale. And they did catch some fish once they had time to catch their breath.

这里出现了传说中的鲸，看一下。仔细看看10岁的莎拉·拉塞尔的反应吧。莎拉和爸爸肖恩在加拿大纽芬兰海岸外的怀恩湾钓鱼时，两头重约45吨的座头鲸突然越出海面。这很疯狂。一开始莎拉很害怕，谁看到又不会呢。现在你怎么看？但是爸爸在那里安慰她。我们试图保持距离，但他们很好奇，他们会过来看你。这里有很多鲸，但是鲸鱼之舞就很少见了。为什么如此引人注目地反常，我们知之甚少，但人们认为他们在互相沟通。莎拉，你以讲鱼的故事出名吗？我是抓鱼的，爸爸讲鱼的故事。等他们有时间喘口气，他们确实钓到了一些鱼。
