Koala survives 10-mile Australia trip in wheel arch
考拉扛过10英里澳大利亚车轮之旅
ADELAIDE, Australia (AP) — For a stowaway who made a 16-kilometer (10-mile) journey squeezed in a wheel arch, a koala was lucky to escape with just scratches.
作为一个坐在汽车轮罩里的跑了16公里(10英里)的逃票者，这只考拉除了受了些皮肉之苦之外，其他的就是幸运了。
The driver of the four-wheel vehicle was unaware of the extra passenger until they arrived at their destination in the outskirts of Adelaide, Australia, and he heard some unusual cries.
这个四轮车的司机在他们到达他们澳大利亚阿德莱德郊区的目的地之后，才知道他的车上还多载了一个不速之客。他听到一些不寻常的叫声。
After seeing the koala in the wheel arch, he immediately called animal rescuers, who removed the wheel and eventually extricated the frightened but very lucky animal.
当他在车轮拱里看到一个考拉时，他立即通知了动物救援组织。他们把车轮卸了下来,并最终解脱了这只受了惊吓，但却又相当幸运的小动物。
“You think you’ve seen it all. No, I’ve never seen anything like that and it’s absolutely incredible,” said Fauna Rescue worker, Jane Brister.
“你认为你已经见多了这些事，可你错了！我从来没有见过这样的事情，这绝对令人难以置信。”动物救援工作者，Jane Brister说。
The koala suffered superficial injuries and was covered in grease from under the car.
考拉受了些表皮伤，而且全身粘上了车身底下的油污。
“She was crying a little bit, she was a little bit shaken, she was certainly in shock but I rushed her straight to the vet,” Brister said.”
“她有点抽泣，她有点发抖，她肯定是受了惊吓，但我直接把她送到了兽医那里，”Brister说。
The koala was dubbed Kelli, after one of the firefighters who rescued her.
他们用营救她的消防队员的名字为考拉命名，她叫做凯利。
“Kelli’s one of our fine station officers and she led the rescue crew that day and she was quite excited to have such a good outcome,” said Dave Juniper of the South Australian Metropolitan Fire Service.
“凯利是我们的一个优秀的救护人员，那天她是救援队的领头。她非常高兴能有这样好的结果。“南澳大利亚城市消防服务的Dave Juniper说。
After being cleaned up and monitored for a week, it was released back into the bush on Saturday.
在经过清理和监测了一个星期后，凯利星期六被放生到灌木丛中。
“After everything she’s been through, she’s had so much stress and trauma, to see her just toddle off and up the tree, and currently she’s found the biggest fork in the tree, she’s snuggled up, she’s fast asleep,” Brister said.
Brister说:“在她经历了这么多的事情之后，她有些受到创伤和情绪低落，看到她慢慢下了车，爬上树。她找了树上最大的一棵树杈，然后依偎着，很快就睡着了。“
Rescue workers say it’s not unusual for koalas to seek shelter in unusual places.
救援人员说，考拉在意想不到的地方寻求住所很常见。
