Two goldfish have become the smallest and hardiest survivors of the devastating February earthquake in Christchurch that killed 181 people. 今年二月份基督城发生毁灭性地震，181人死亡。而两条金鱼在此次地震中侥幸存活，并成为这场灾难中最小、最坚强的幸存者。 The fish, named Shaggy and Daphne after characters from the animated television show Scooby Doo, spent four and a half months - 134 days - trapped in their tank in the city's off-limits downtown without anyone to feed them or even any electricity to power their tank filter before they were discovered this month and rescued. 这两条金鱼被分别命名为Shaggy和Daphne（Shaggy和Daphne都是动画片《史酷比》中的角色），它们在已被禁入的市区水池里呆了四个半月，也就是134天。在未被发现获救前，既没有人给它们喂食，也没有人给水槽过滤器供电。 Luckily for the fish, they lived in a large 26-gallon tank and may have gleaned some nutrition from eating algae growing on the tank's rocks and walls. 幸运的是，它们居住在一个26加仑的大水池里，并靠食用长在水池石头和池壁上的藻类汲取营养。 "It's certainly an incredible story. I wouldn't have guessed that fish could survive on their own for four months," said Paul Clarkson, curator at the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California. "Goldfish are very hardy critters." He said naturally growing bacteria may have helped keep the water clean enough to sustain life. |
