Mountain goats addicted to human urine to be evacuated or shot at Olympic national park
在美国奥林匹克国家公园的山羊因为沉迷于人类尿液将被撤出或射杀。
Addicted:沉迷
The species is not native to the area, but since their introduction to Olympic National Park, have become dangerously addicted to human sweat and urine.
该物种不是该地区的原生物种,但是自从它们被引入奥林匹克国家公园以来,已经因为沉迷人类的尿液和汗液而造成了危险。
Native:本地的
So far, more than 75 mountain goats have been flown out of Olympic National Park in Washington state as part of a larger plan to remove the species from the area.
到目前为止,已有超过75只山羊从华盛顿州的奥林匹克国家公园被飞机撤出,这是一个从该地区移除该物种的更大计划的一部分。
Remove:移除
According to NPR, the non-native goats have been wreaking havoc on the park by both disrupting the alpine ecosystem and assaulting visitors. The animals crave salt and because the park is not their natural environment, there are no salt licks for them to enjoy, so the goats have to turn to the next best thing: humans.
根据全国公共广播电台的说法,非原生山羊会因为破坏高山生态系统和袭击游客而对公园造成严重破坏。这种动物渴望盐分,因为公园不是它们的原生自然环境,它们没有盐可以舔舐,所以山羊必须转移目标至下一个最好的盐分来源:人类。
Alpine ecosystem:高山生态系统
The mountain goats have been harassing hikers because they are attracted to the salt in human sweat and urine. When the goats see a human, they basically see a walking, talking salt lick.
山羊一直在骚扰徒步旅行者,因为它们被人体的汗水和尿液吸引。当山羊看到一个人的时候,基本上就像看到一个正在走路和说话的盐块。
Harassing:骚扰
Goats have been disrupting the natural ecosystem of the national park and attacking humans, even killing a man in 2010, which sparked concern from officials over the aggressive animals.
山羊一直在扰乱国家公园的自然生态系统并攻击人类,甚至在2010年杀死了一名男子,这引起了官员们对这种侵略性动物的关注。
Aggressive:有侵略性的
The National Park Service, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, and National Forest Service thus came up with a three- to five-year plan to get rid of the goat problem in the park. The plan is to capture roughly half of 700 of the animals in the park and safely transport them to the North Cascade mountains, where they are a native species.
因此,国家公园管理局,华盛顿鱼类和野生动物部以及国家森林服务局提出了一项三到五年的计划,以解决公园里的山羊问题。计划是捕捉公园中700只山羊中的大约一半,并安全的将它们运送到北喀斯喀特山脉,在那里它们是本地物种。
Came up with:提出
This most recent removal is just one of many planned relocation events. Two more are scheduled for sometime later this year and in 2019.
最近的移除只是许多已经计划好的转移行动之一。另外两个计划安排在今年晚些时候和2019年某个时间。
Scheduled:安排
