愚人节小故事 April fool

A photographer happened to catch these brown bear cubs in the act of stealing a boat. Patiently, she watched from afar, snapping photo after photo. 

一位摄影师碰巧逮到棕熊幼崽们正在偷船。于是，她耐着性子，在远处观察，接连抓拍。

Realizing what the cubs were doing, she knew she should document this event. 

了解到熊崽的所作所为后，摄影师晓得当把此事记录下来。

Intent on getting the boat into the water, the cubs worked like they’d done this before. 

熊崽们打算把小船弄下水，忙活起来简直是驾轻就熟。

Lighting out onto the lake, the bears seemed to enjoy the ride.

它们急于乘舟划水，仿佛自得其乐。

For years, scientists have known that brown bears are unusually intelligent. Observations of tool use in bears are common. Only this was something different—two cubs handled a small fishing boat like old pros. 

多年来，科学家早已知晓棕熊异常聪颖，经常能看到它们使用工具。然而，两只熊崽对付小渔船如此老练，还不多见。

Later, the boat ran aground, and the ursine passengers exited, disappearing back into the forest.

后来，渔船搁浅，想乘船的熊崽们才离去，消失在森林深处。

Don’t believe this story? Neither do we. Go back and look at the first letter of every sentence in the first two paragraphs.

这个故事令人难以置信？我们也有同感。回过头来看看前两段每一句话的首字母，就知道是不是真的了。
