It’s one way for a weasel to get around: hitching a lift on the back of a woodpecker. 照片上看，黄鼠狼趴在啄木鸟的背上搭了个顺风车，两只一起飞。 In fact, the image captures the bird’s fight for life after the predatory weasel jumped onto its back and attacked it. 而实际上，这张照片拍下的却是啄木鸟在遭黄鼠狼从背后袭击时逃生的画面。 The extraordinary picture was taken by Martin Le-May, an amateur photographer who was out walking with his wife in Hornchurch Country Park, Essex. 这张不可思议的照片是由业余摄影师马丁·乐梅偶然拍下的，当时他和妻子正在英国艾塞克斯的霍恩彻奇国家公园里散步。 “As we walked we heard a distressed squawking and I saw the flash of green,” said Mr Le-May, 52. “We trained our binoculars and it occurred that the woodpecker was unnaturally hopping about like it was treading on a hot surface. “散步时我们突然听到一个痛苦的鸟叫声，接着看到一团绿色一闪而过。”52岁的马丁说，“我们用望远镜一看，发现一只啄木鸟在不寻常地跳来跳去，就像踩到灼热的地面上一样。” “The bird was about 50m away from us and took off just as I lifted the camera up. Originally, I thought I was just taking a picture of a green woodpecker flying. Then I realised it had something on its back. |
