80,000 Angry Bees Attacked a Woman For Trying to Get to Her Car in California

80000只憤怒的蜜蜂襲擊了一個(gè)女性,接近了她的在加利福尼亞的車

The 10:23 am emergency call to the 23000 block of Buckland Lane was dispatched as a reported bee sting.
Responding firefighters quickly discovered how big of an understatement that was.

巴克蘭大道23000號(hào)街區(qū)有人在10點(diǎn)23分撥打了求救電話，因?yàn)槟莻€(gè)人被蜜蜂叮了。

When their truck pulled up to the home in Lake Forest, California, they saw a cleaning lady being attacked by a swarm of some 80,000 bees.

當(dāng)他們的卡車往他們?cè)诩永Ｄ醽喌娜R克福里斯特的家駛?cè)サ臅r(shí)候，他們看到一個(gè)清潔女工正在被一群蜜蜂襲擊，大概有80000只蜜蜂襲擊她。

The woman - "approximately 50 years old" and identified only by her first name, Maria - was in the Orange County home with three other cleaners and had stepped out to her car to grab a mop.

這個(gè)女人年齡有50歲左右，只知道她的名叫瑪利亞，當(dāng)時(shí)她和其他三個(gè)清潔工人在回橘郡的家的路上，她走出她的車子去抓取一根拖把。

In doing so, she had come to be viewed as a threat to the swarm of Africanized bees, who nei***ors said had taken up residence in a nearby drainage pipe.

在做這件事情的時(shí)候，她被一群非洲蜂視為威脅，據(jù)居住在附近居民的所說，這些蜜蜂筑巢在不遠(yuǎn)處的一個(gè)排水管道里。

That insight would not come until later. As the Orange County Fire Authority team arrived at the horrific scene, its top task was trying to figure out how to separate the woman from the mass of attacking insects.

橘郡消防局隊(duì)到達(dá)后才看到如此可怕的場(chǎng)景，它的首要任務(wù)是想辦法將這個(gè)將女人與這么多的攻擊她的昆蟲分開。

The bees "were almost in clusters," one of the firefighters, Ryan Wilson, told KNBC. "Maybe the size of a golf ball all over her . . . she had them on her face, around her mouth, around her ears, her neck and her hair."

這些蜜蜂有一大群，其中一名消防員Ryan Wilson告訴KNBC：“也許這些蜜蜂有高爾夫球大小......她的臉上，嘴唇周圍，耳朵周圍，脖子上和頭發(fā)上到處都是蜜蜂?！?br/>
Donning protective gear would take too long, the firefighters decided, so they sprung into action without it.

穿上防護(hù)服要花很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間，消防員決定在沒有穿防護(hù)服的情況下趕緊實(shí)施救援。

The emergency responders grabbed a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher and began spraying the bees that were attacking the woman, who was now barely conscious.

救援人員抓起一個(gè)二氧化碳滅火器，開始噴灑攻擊該女子的蜜蜂，這名女子當(dāng)時(shí)已經(jīng)幾乎失去了意識(shí)。

"It's so horrific, I will never lose the memory of seeing her just swatting at whatever she could," nei***or Cynthia Emmets told CBS affiliate KCAL.

住在附近的居民辛提亞.埃梅茨告訴哥倫比亞廣播公司說：“真是太恐怖了，我無法忘記這樣的事情，只看見那個(gè)女人努力拍打那些蜜蜂?！?br/>
Wilson said first responders were "spraying, and they were freezing the bees as they were kind of hovering and landing on us."

威爾遜說第一個(gè)救援隊(duì)員噴灑著煙霧，這些煙霧使得蜜蜂凍僵了，有效防止了這些蜜蜂飛到我們的身上。

They stopped the brunt of the attack. But when they got the woman to the hospital, she was still covered in bees. She was also in critical condition, having been stung more than 200 times.

救援隊(duì)員制止了蜜蜂的攻擊，但是當(dāng)他們把這個(gè)女性送到醫(yī)院的時(shí)候，她身上仍然布滿了蜜蜂。她處在生死關(guān)頭，被蜜蜂蜇了不下200次。

Her son told firefighters she is expected to survive, although her recovery will be arduous.

她的兒子告訴消防隊(duì)員他的母親有望活下來，盡管她需要度過一段艱難的時(shí)期才能康復(fù)。

"When you get somebody stung hundreds of times, [bees] injecting that venom, you're going to have a serious issue," OCFA Capt. Tony Bommarito told KNBC.

OCFA隊(duì)長(zhǎng)Tony Bommarito告訴KNBC說：“當(dāng)你被蜜蜂蜇了數(shù)百次時(shí)，它們往你身上注射毒液，你的身體會(huì)吃不消的?！?br/>
"Anybody, allergy or not, is going to be in serious condition after that."
Two of the firefighters were also stung. They were treated and released from the hospital and returned to work

“任何人無論是否過敏都會(huì)在被蟄之后身體變得極度糟糕?！眱擅绬T也被蟄到了，他們接受了治療，之后出院回到了工作崗位。

As The Washington Post's Dan Eggen reported in 2000, African honey bees were brought to Brazil decades earlier to increase honey production, but were accidentally released into the wild.

根據(jù)華盛頓郵報(bào)記者丹.埃根在2000年的報(bào)道，非洲蜜蜂在幾十年前被帶到了巴西，目的是為了生產(chǎn)蜂蜜，但是在很偶然的情況下被放生到了野外。

They crossbred with domestic honeybees and have been making their way north ever since.

他們和家蜂進(jìn)行了雜交，然后從那時(shí)起向北方飛去。

"They crossed into Texas . . . and have since invaded Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada and California," Eggen wrote.

埃根說：“它們飛到了德克薩斯，之后開始入侵亞利桑那、新墨西哥、內(nèi)華達(dá)和加利福尼亞?！?br/>
"The bees are territorial and aggressive and are known for their habit of swarming and attacking a victim repeatedly. The insects can become agitated by vibrations from as far away as 100 feet and can pursue a victim for more than a quarter-mile."

“這些蜜蜂有領(lǐng)地觀念并富有攻擊性的，他們喜歡集體行動(dòng)，反復(fù)攻擊受害者。這些昆蟲能夠感受到100英尺外的震動(dòng)，能夠追逐一個(gè)受害者0.25英里。”

The African bees look similar to their docile European-descended cousins, according to the Arizona Republic. Their temperament is what gives them a rotten reputation.

根據(jù)《亞利桑那共和報(bào)》的報(bào)道，這些非洲蜜蜂看上去很像它們的遠(yuǎn)親——溫順的歐洲蜜蜂。它們的性情給了它們一個(gè)不好的名聲。

"They are very aggressive, and they will sting in great numbers," Nancy Troyano, an entomologist with Western Exterminator, told the newspaper. "And they will pursue a threat for up to a quarter of a mile."

昆蟲學(xué)者南希.特羅亞諾告訴這家報(bào)紙說：“它們非常富有攻擊性，喜歡聚集成黑壓壓地一群攻擊人，喜歡尋找0.25英里外的攻擊目標(biāo)?！?br/>
People being attacked should run away as fast as possible, but jumping in water is not a good idea with Africanized bees. They will patiently wait for their victim to surface, then renew the attack.

被攻擊的人必須盡快逃離，跳入水中不是對(duì)付非洲蜜蜂的好辦法，它們會(huì)很有耐心地等待受害者浮出水面，然后繼續(xù)攻擊。

A telltale sign an attack is about to occur, according to the US Forest Service: patrolling bees will head-butt intruders to drive them away from colonies.

據(jù)美國(guó)林業(yè)局方面說，如果有人冒犯了這些蜜蜂，那么攻擊就會(huì)開始，巡邏的密封會(huì)叮這些“入侵者”，把他們趕出自己的領(lǐng)地。

After the attack in Southern California, first responders closed several blocks nearby, hoping to prevent anyone else from becoming an unwitting victim.

在南加利福尼亞的攻擊事件之后，救援隊(duì)走訪了附近的多個(gè)街區(qū)，希望那里的人能夠保護(hù)其他人不要再成為無辜的受害者。

Then they called in the experts: a local bee company.
By that afternoon, people in bee suits had removed several buckets full of honey.

然后他們叫來了相關(guān)的專家：一個(gè)當(dāng)?shù)氐拿鄯鋯栴}處理公司。
在下午的時(shí)候，專業(yè)人員穿著蜂服來移走了好幾個(gè)蜂巢。
