33.Mark and a Seal
馬克和海豹
Mark rented an accommodation with his pension near the shore. He paid annual visits there to enjoy the vivid beauty in the depths of the pure sea.
馬克用他的退休金在海岸邊租了一間
住所，每年都去那兒欣賞純淨的大海深處那生動的美麗。Once, with his underwater telescope and flashlight, Mark dived along the boundary between the steep reef and the area of seaweed conservation . Suddenly, an awesome Antarctic seal with sharp teeth appeared opposite him. Every cell in his body was scared to death. But soon, he was aware that he wasn’t the target of an attack. With a neat wound in its lip caused by a shark, this grey seal was washed
upside down by the tides time after time. But it tried to jog Mark as if to urge him to help it. So Mark abandoned fleeing away. With its teamwork, Mark used a net to drag the seal to the shallow water. Without pausing he helped it out after a simple operation and settled it in a narrow cave by the seaside. Every time he brought it tasty fish, it would yell and suck his hands happily. Witnesses said their anecdotes reflected a magic dimension of the relationship between humans and animals.有一次，馬克帶著他的水下望遠鏡 和手電筒，潛到陡峭的暗礁和海草保護區間的分界線。突然，一隻長著尖利牙齒、使人畏懼的南極海豹出現在他對面。馬克嚇壞了，但是很快，他就 意識到，他不是攻擊的目標。這隻灰色海豹的唇上有道鯊魚咬出的整齊傷口，還時不時地被潮水衝得頭上腳下。儘管如此，它卻總是努力輕輕碰撞馬克，似乎在催促他幫助它。於是馬克放棄 了逃跑。在這隻海豹的合作下，馬克用一張網把它拖到淺水區，並毫不停歇給它動了一個簡單的手術，幫助它解決了問題，然後將它安置在海邊一個狹窄的洞裡。每次當馬克給它帶來鮮美
可口的魚時，它就會高興地大聲叫喚，還吮吸他的手。目擊者都說他們的軼事映射出人與動物關係中奇妙的一個方面。閱讀更多 名豪英語 的文章
