墨西哥現巨型魚羣 或因日本地震導致
Thousands of sardines, anchovies, stripped bass and mackerel surged along the coast of the Mexican resort in an event believed to be linked to the devastating Japanese tsunami.
成千上萬尾沙丁魚、鳳尾魚、鱸魚和鯖魚集體這這個墨西哥海灣扎堆，據信這與當天在日本列島由大規模地震所引發的巨大海嘯有關。
Delighted fishermen rushed out in wooden motor boats, abandoning their rods and nets and simply scooping the fish up with buckets.
不少興高采烈的漁夫們劃木船靠近魚羣，他們放棄了漁網和魚竿，取而代之的是用水桶撈魚，而且幾乎不費吹灰之力便可滿載而歸。
'There were about 20 or 30 fishermen and there were people who came with their kids to take advantage of it,' Carlos Morales said.
“大概來了二十到三十個漁夫，還有人帶着小孩一起來嬉戲。”
The fishermen attributed the strange phenomenon to the unusual currents unleashed by tsunami that followed the earthquake in Japan.
漁夫們認爲，出現魚類大規模聚集這樣的奇觀，與日本地區所發生的大海嘯有關，海嘯致使水流發生了改變。
Experts couldn't be sure.
然而專家們卻對此難下斷言。
'It would fall into that category where you would love to make the connection, but who knows?' said Rich Briggs, a geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey.
“這種情況下人們總是喜歡兩事物之間聯繫起來，但是誰又都說不好。”美國地質調查局的地質學家裏奇·布里格斯表示。
'Tsunamis can change local currents, but it's hard to make a firm connection.'
“海嘯的確會改變當地的自然條件，但是很難確定這兩件事有關聯。”
