Strand((使)擱淺)
11月底,在澳大利亞塔斯馬尼亞州的國王島,大批巨頭鯨和瓶鼻鯨擱淺海灘。盡管救援人員幫助不少困在海灘上的鯨魚重返大海,還是有80多頭鯨魚在烈日下無奈死去。新華社報道如下:Up to 80 pilot whales and bottle nose dolphins died after a mass stranding on King Island off Tasmania, Australia.
The number of dead mammals is lower than that in earlier reports which said at least 100 died after they were first noticed stranded Sunday afternoon.
Rescuers on King Island have successfully herded a large pod of whales and dolphins out to sea, Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) radio reported Monday.
Strand有“沙灘、海濱”的含義,作動詞表示“(使)擱淺、陷入困境”,例如:The convoy was stranded in the desert.(使團在沙漠中陷入了困境。)I was stranded in the strange town without money or friends.(我被擱淺在這個陌生的城市,沒有錢也沒有朋友。)
鯨類尤其是巨頭鯨集體擱淺的現象并不少見,甚至還有同一鯨群在幾天內連續擱淺的情況,但其原因卻始終令人費解。據科學家推測,由于鯨魚為群體性很強的海洋動物,且活動范圍靠近海岸,因此有兩種可能:一是領頭的鯨生病,沖向了海灘,其它的鯨也習慣性地跟隨頭鯨向前沖;二是鯨群在追逐獵物誤入淺灘。當一條或幾條鯨魚擱淺時,其他鯨魚就會步其后塵或者試圖前往營救,結果造成大批鯨魚同時擱淺在同一片海灘。
