The seaside town might be famed for its oysters, but this incredible image could soon have visitors flocking to Whistable in the hope of catching Britain's biggest crab. 惠特斯特布尔小镇或许一直因牡蛎而闻名,但最近因为一张不可思议的照片,大批游客蜂拥而至,却是希望能捕到英国最大的螃蟹。 The photograph, which has been shared online, appears to show a crustacean that is at least 50ft-wide lurking in shallow water. 在这张被上传至网络的照片上,一只至少50英尺(约15米)宽的蟹状生物潜伏在码头附近的潜水水域里。 While some insist it is proof of 'Crabzilla', others argue that the shadowy figure is nothing more than an unusually-shaped sandbank - or is simply a playful hoax. 虽然有些人坚称这就是“巨型蜘蛛蟹”,可另一些人确认为这团模糊的影子只是一处形状比较怪异的沙洲而已,或者仅仅就是一个恶作剧。 The image shows the outline of a crab in the mouth of the Kent harbour - dwarfing the fishing boats resting on the nearby pier. 这只出现在肯特港口入海处的巨型蟹,轮廓巨大,令旁边停在码头上的渔船相形见绌。 It is shaped like an edible crab, a species that is commonly found in British water and grows to an average of five inches. 它的形状就像是平时常吃的那种螃蟹,在英国水域中也经常能见到,一般长到5英寸(约0.13米)大小。 |
