可怕!南非居民家廁所驚現巨大眼鏡蛇!
Always look before you sit, especially on a toilet.
在你坐下來之前一定要留意一下，特別是在上廁所的時候。An 8-foot-long poisonous snouted cobra has been terrorizing an apartment building in Pretoria, South Africa.
在南非的比勒陀利亞，一條8英尺長的劇毒眼鏡蛇嚇壞了整棟公寓的居民。The snake was first spotted last Thursday morning inside a toilet in one of the building's apartments.
這條蛇最先是於上週四上午在該棟建築的一間公寓的廁所裏被發現的。
The residents quickly called Barry Greenshields, a snake catcher who attempted to remove the snake from the building, according to News 24.
根據《新聞24小時》報道，居民急忙找來捕蛇人巴里·格林希爾茲，他試着把蛇從房子裏趕走。
Unfortunately for Greenshields and everyone else in the building, he was unsuccessful and the snake slithered back down the toilet.
不幸的是，格林希爾茲和其他人都沒成功，而且那條蛇蜿蜒着爬回了廁所。Resident Anton Meijer posted a clip of the extraction attempt to YouTube, stating, "we still have no idea where the snake is hiding."
一位名叫安東·梅傑的居民在YouTube上發了剪輯過的視頻片段，描述道“我們現在依然不知道那條蛇藏在哪裏。”According to News 24, the snake has not been seen since the incident, freaking out residents in the building.
據《新聞24小時》報道，自這起事件發生以來，就再沒見過那條蛇的蹤跡，樓裏的居民都膽戰心驚。Some residents have considered pouring boiling water or pool acid down their drains to flush out the unwanted guest. But Greenshields cautioned against those tactics.
有些居民想過向排水管倒開水或強酸來驅趕這位不速之客，但格林希爾茲反對這些手段。"We have put cameras in the pipes to look for it. Residents are still worried and some of them are feeling like if it comes up they want to kill it, which is something I don't want. I hope he has left through the pipes," Greenshields told News 24.
格林希爾茲在接受《新聞24小時》採訪時表示：“我們已經在下水道里放置了攝像機，以便找到它。居民們仍然很擔憂，而且有些人想如果蛇出現了，他們就把蛇殺掉，這是我不希望的看到的。我希望它已經離開了下水道。”
