Pigs can't fly - but this pair of homesick Tamworth boar crosses can certainly swim。
　　豬兒們雖然沒(méi)有凌空飛翔的本事，不過(guò)這對(duì)戀家心切的塔姆沃思小豬兒的泳技是在了得。
　　They took to the water like pigs to mud after they were put out to pasture on the uninhabited island of Longa off the North West Scottish coast。
　　在被放養(yǎng)在蘇格蘭海岸西北部島嶼上無(wú)人照看的龍格牧場(chǎng)之后，這兩只小家伙就像豬拱泥巴拔秧，硬是走水路游了回來(lái)。
　　Named Mary and Truffle by their owner, James Cameron was startled to discover they had returned home the day after he left them and their swim across the sea was caught on camera。
　　這兩只小豬分別名叫Mary和Truffle，它們的主人James Camero在將它們放養(yǎng)后的第二天萬(wàn)分驚訝地發(fā)現(xiàn)，有攝像機(jī)竟然記錄下了這兩只小家伙奮泳前進(jìn)橫跨海洋，只為回到家園的壯舉。
　　Holidaymaker Jay Goss, 31, watched in amazement from his parents' seaside cottage at Big Sands in Wester Ros。
　　31歲的Jay Goss是一位旅游者，他在父母位于韋斯特羅斯大金沙海濱的小木屋中目睹了這一切，并且被深深地怔住了。
　　At first he thought they were otters but soon realised they had snouts. He said: 'The sea was a mill pond and the two wee chaps swam 1.5km to the mainland. It was incredible. They reached the shore and were shivering and nervous.'
　　一開(kāi)始，他還以為那是兩只水獺，不過(guò)很快他就意識(shí)到露出水面的兩只豬鼻子，他說(shuō)：“大?？刹皇囚[著玩的，這兩只小豬起碼游了1.5公里才抵達(dá)了海岸。剛一上岸，他倆顯得相當(dāng)緊張，并且止不住的發(fā)抖?！?。
　　He called Mr Cameron to tell him he had the two pigs but he thought it was a joke at first。
　　他打電話告訴Cameron說(shuō)看到了這兩只小豬，不過(guò)一開(kāi)始Cameron還以為對(duì)方自在跟自己開(kāi)玩笑。
　　He said: 'We have six piglets, or weaners, at the moment and we decided to put two of them out to Longa。
　　他說(shuō)：“我們養(yǎng)著6只豬崽，當(dāng)下我們決定將其中的兩只放養(yǎng)到龍格島上去。”
　　'We normally put sheep over to the island and we thought the pigs would like it. There is plenty of rooting material and fresh water。
　　“通常我們會(huì)將羊放到這座島上，，我們認(rèn)為豬兒們也會(huì)喜歡這里，島上有大量的生根的植物以及淡水?！?BR>　　'We put them out at 6pm on the Thursday evening and on Friday about 8pm I got a call to say "Your piglets have just swam back home"。
　　“我們?cè)谥芩牡陌?點(diǎn)種的時(shí)候?qū)⑺鼈兎旁趰u上，周五大清早8點(diǎn)鐘辯解道了電話，說(shuō)‘你們的小豬兒又游回家來(lái)了’?！?BR>　　'I thought it was a joke at first and that somebody was pulling my leg because people had been thinking it was quite a story that the pigs were going to Longa. My initial reaction was 'Aye, right'. But it was true.'
　　“起初我以為那是個(gè)玩笑，有人在糊弄我，因?yàn)槿藗冋J(rèn)為把豬放到龍格島本身就挺有故事性的。我一開(kāi)始的反應(yīng)是‘好吧，你就扯吧’。不過(guò)這卻是真的?！?
　　'I went down to check for myself and they were just wandering about on the shore, quite happy and none the worse for their swim across the loch. I put them in the trailer and reunited them with the others.'
　　“我親自去到了那兒一探虛實(shí)，它們正在海岸上徘徊，看起來(lái)很開(kāi)心，我將它們放進(jìn)拖車(chē)，”
　　He added: 'I've been talking to people about it and nobody has ever seen pigs swim.'
　　他說(shuō)：“我把這事告訴了其他人，沒(méi)有人相信豬還會(huì)游泳。”
　　'Mary and Truffle won't be going back to Longa. They told us in no uncertain terms that they didn't fancy island life so they'll be staying here.'
　　“我們不會(huì)讓Mary和Truffle再回到龍格島了，它們已經(jīng)通過(guò)自己的方式告訴我們，它們不喜歡那兒?！?/P>
