【英音模仿秀】飞机救小象

模仿文本：

But first, there's an amazing video on our Facebook page of a baby elephant being flown to safety in a light plane. Already hundreds of people have shared it. At the controls of the plane is the nurse and pilot Gary Roberts. He works as a missionary¹ for an American church in Chad and came across a herd² of elephants who'd been massacred by poachers. The baby was the only survivor³. So Gary took the enormous risk of putting it onboard his plane and flying it back to his compound for treatment.

译文：

在我们Facebook主页上有一则令人称奇的视频，它记录了一头大象幼仔搭乘轻型飞机被送往安全地区的过程。这条视频已经被数百次分享。而驾驶飞机的盖理·罗伯茨不光是飞行员，也是位护士。他是乍得一所美国教堂的传教士，某天偶遇被偷猎者残杀的象群。而唯一幸免于难的就是这头大象宝宝。于是盖理冒着巨大的风险带它坐上自己的飞机，返回安全的地方让它休养。
