NBC晚间新闻 佛罗里达海岸发生鲨鱼袭人事件

Tonight pro¹ surfer Franklin O'Rourke is recovering after the scare of his life. I've never felt forced like that from any and want anything in my life so I was and I was in shock. This video shows him and other surfers in the water off Jacksonville Beach over the weekend, struggling with what he now thinks was a black tip shark. I've never seen one that close and in that kind of aggression². You know it was coming at me, not around me. I was scared, for sure. He had a really high energy level. Lieutenant³ Eli Pphillips was one of the first responders at the scene.

And he kind of didn't even realize what was happening while he was actually getting bit by it and then afterwards he was like, oh wow I just got bit by a shark. A hundred miles down the coast a Boogie Boarder was also bitten by a shark. He wasn't badly hurt either. Farther south this month in Cocoa Beach and Daytona Beach, other sightings. Experts say to avoid shark swimming groups, don't wear shiny jewelry⁴ and if you find herself being attacked don't play dead. Fight back. Back in Jacksonville O'Rourke says the scare won't keep him from the water. I'm still living, I'm still here. O'Rourke knows how lucky he is. He says right after the attack on these waters he went right out and he bought a lottery⁵ ticket. He figured that if he could survive a close encounter with a shark the odds⁶ must be in his favor.

今晚，业余冲浪高手富兰克林·奥罗克在经历了威胁生命的恐惧后正在恢复当中。在我生命中，我从来没有像那样受迫过，或者想要类似的经历。所以当时我非常震惊。这段视频显示，周末，他和其他冲浪者在杰克逊维尔海滩附近的水里，与他现在认为的黑色尖鲨搏斗。我从来没有那么近距离看过鲨鱼，而且是带有那种攻击性的鲨鱼。你知道吗，那鲨鱼朝着我冲过来，并没有在我附近。当然我感到很害怕。他的精力水平非常高。伊莱·菲利普斯中尉是现场的首批救援人员之一。当他被鲨鱼咬的时候，他甚至没有意识到发生了什么，然后他说，哦，哇，我被鲨鱼咬了。在离杰克逊维尔海滩100英里的地方，另外一个冲浪者也被鲨鱼咬伤了。他也没有受重伤。本月在更南部的可可海滩和代托纳海滩，也出现了鲨鱼咬人的事件。专家表示，为了躲避鲨鱼们，不要佩戴闪亮的珠宝，如果你发现自己被攻击，也不要装死。而是要反击。回到杰克逊维尔，奥罗克说，对鲨鱼的恐惧不会阻止他下水。我还活着，我还在这里。奥罗克知道他有多幸运。他说，就在这片水域遭受袭击之后，他立即出去买了一张彩票。他想，如果他能在与鲨鱼的近距离接触中幸存下来，那么机会一定对他有利。
