負鼠偷喝掉威士忌醉倒貨架上 店員哭笑不得

A Florida opossum has recovered after having one too many sips of bourbon while celebrating Thanksgiving.

佛羅里達州的一隻負鼠在慶祝感恩節時喝了太多的波旁威士忌，現已恢復。

Employees at Cash's Liquor Store in Fort Walton Beach went back to work the day after Thanksgiving and found an opossum up on a shelf next to a broken and empty bottle of bourbon, assuming that the opossum had drank it all.

感恩節第二天，沃爾頓堡灘“卡什酒水店”的員工回去上班，發現貨架上有一隻負鼠，旁邊有一個破掉的波旁威士忌酒瓶，而且酒瓶已經空了，推測是被負鼠喝光了。

Owner Cash Moore said this was the first time he's experienced an opossum break-in at his business.

店主卡什·穆爾表示，這是第一次有負鼠闖進他的店裏。

Michelle Pettis, a technician at Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge, said the female opossum, who was brought in by a police officer, appeared pale and disoriented and was salivating excessively.

翡翠海岸野生動物收容所的技術人員米歇爾·佩蒂斯稱，這隻雌性負鼠是被一名警官送到收容所的，當時它看起來虛弱無力，失去了方向感，還流了很多口水。

The staff pumped the marsupial with fluids to flush out the alcohol in her system. She sobered up in a few days and was then released unharmed.

工作人員用液體灌洗掉這隻有袋類動物身體系統裏的酒精。幾天後，這隻負鼠清醒過來，隨後被平安放歸大自然。

It's still unclear how the animale broke into Cash's. Pettis described the animal as "fairly large."

目前仍不清楚這隻負鼠是怎麼闖進卡什酒水店的。佩蒂斯則將該動物描述爲“龐然大物”。
