新奇事件簿 印第安女子搏杀美洲豹

An Indian woman has killed a leopard¹ that attacked her near her village. Kamla Devi, 56, was on her way to fetch water from a canal in India's northern Uttarakhand state when the big cat jumped on her. She fought the animal for 30 minutes and finally killed it. She is now recovering in hospital. She has many deep bites and cuts on her body and three fractures² on her hands. Ms Devi told reporters: "I thought I was dead but I did not lose patience and courage….I fought head on with it for almost half an hour. Then I understood it was dead." She said she tried to stab the leopard with the small sickle³ she carried for use on her small farm. She remembers smashing⁴ some of the animal's teeth during the struggle.

一名印第安女子在她的村子附近搏杀了一只攻击她的美洲豹。56岁的卡姆拉在去往印第安北部德邦的水渠取水的路上，一只美洲豹扑向了她。她与美洲豹搏斗了近半个小时，并最终杀死了美洲豹。她目前在医院接受治疗。他的身上有多处严重的咬伤和其他伤口，手上有三处骨折。提毗女士告诉记者，她以为自己死了，但是并没有丧失耐心和勇气。她与美洲豹正面搏斗了将近半个小时。最后才反应过来，是美洲豹死了。她说自己身上带着在小农场使用的镰刀，所以就拿着镰刀刺向美洲豹。她记得自己在与美洲豹搏斗过程中，打掉了美洲豹的几颗牙齿。

Doctors are surprised she survived the attack. Most people attacked by a leopard have almost no chance of surviving. Her doctor Abdul Rahul said: "She has two fractures on the right hand and one on the left. She also has deep injuries on her head and legs. There are bite marks all over her body." Another doctor said: "The condition of the woman is stable. We have not counted the number of stitches⁵, but there must be more than 100." One of Ms Devi's friends said: "She is very brave. She attacked the leopard and took the fight head on." Lakhpat Rawat, a leopard expert, told 'India Today': "Walking for one kilometer after the attack, with blood oozing⁶ out from her body, speaks a lot about her strong willpower to survive."

她能够在攻击中幸存，让医生都很吃惊。大多数遭受美洲豹攻击的人都没有幸存的可能。她的医生，阿卜杜勒说，她的右手有两处骨折，左手一处骨折。她的头部和腿部也有重伤。她全身都是被咬伤的痕迹。另一位医生说，女子的状况很稳定。我们并没有数针脚的数目，但是肯定在100个以上。提毗女士的朋友说，她非常勇敢。她与美洲豹正面搏斗。美洲豹专家雷克帕特在“今日印度”节目中称，在遭受攻击后行走了1公里，并且一直在流血，说明她的生存意志是非常强的。
