這種專車也敢坐？ 美國浣熊騎鱷魚過河

A man walking in a national forest in central Florida has captured a rare image of a raccoon appearing to ride on the back of an alligator.
一名男子在佛羅里達中部的國家森林裏散步時，拍到了一張罕見的浣熊騎鱷魚的照片。

Richard Jones was walking with his family in the Ocala National Forest when they spotted the alligator.
理查·瓊斯和家人在奧卡拉國家森林散步時發現了那條鱷魚。

He believes his son startled the raccoon while trying to take a picture of the reptile.
他相信他的兒子試圖給鱷魚拍照時嚇到了浣熊。

The image has become an internet sensation since the photo was taken on Sunday morning.
照片是在週日上午拍下的，之後在網上引起了轟動。

Mr Jones told local television station WFTV that he "snapped a lucky picture right when the gator slipped into the water and before the raccoon jumped off and scurried away".
瓊斯告訴本地電視臺WFTV，他“就在鱷魚滑入水中，浣熊跳開竄走之前，他幸運的拍到了一張照片。”

"Without the context you'd think the raccoon was hitching a ride across the river," he told the television station.
他告訴電視臺，“忽略事件前後的話，你會覺得浣熊是在搭車過河。”

"The raccoon riding an alligator is the most Florida thing since mortgage fraud," tweeted Benjamin Freed, a writer for the Washingtonian, alluding to the financial crisis that began in 2007.
華盛頓作家本傑明·弗裏德在推特上寫道：“浣熊騎鱷魚是貸款欺詐之後最佛羅里達的事了。”他暗指2007年開始的金融危機。
