Photos Tell You Who Won Snake Vs Croc Battle

By Jaime Lutz (abc News)
That is one satisfied snake.
Photographers in Queensland, Australia, captured a snake battling a crocodile over the span of five hours, climaxing with the snake swallowing the crocodile whole.
Queensland? 昆士蘭(州名)
crocodile? 鱷魚 ( 縮寫為 croc )
span???? 一段時間,跨度
climax? ?? 達到高潮,達到頂點

A python begins to swallow the crocodile on March 2, 2014 in Queensland, Australia. The snake, thought to be about 10 feet long, constricted the crocodile to death before dragging it to shore and eating it whole in front of a shocked crowd of onlookers.
The snake fought, wrestled and then ate a crocodile whole following a dramatic five-hour long battle. The incident was captured on camera by Tiffany Corlis.
python ? 大蟒
constrict?? 收縮, 擠壓, 束縛
wrestle??? 搏斗,扭打,角力
incident?? 事件,小事件

“The crocodile was fighting at the start, it was trying to keep its head out of water and survive, but as the morning progressed you could tell both of them were getting a little weaker as the struggle was going on. Finally the croc sort of gave in.” one photographer, Tiffany Corlis, told ABC Australia.
sort of?? 有點 ( 口語常用 )
give in? 屈服, 投降, 讓步

The fight happened on the shore of Lake Moondarra, a popular place for Queensland residents to go swimming – though Corlis said she plans to send someone else in first before stepping foot in the water in the future. “It was just unbelievable,” she said. “We were sort of thinking the snake had bitten off a little more than it could chew, pardon the pun, but it did actually eat the crocodile.”
resident? 居民
chew? ? 咀嚼
pun? ? 雙關(guān)語, 詼諧語
"bite off more than one can chew" 是英語諺語, 指 “貪多嚼不爛, 不自量力, 好高鶩遠”, 用在此恰如其分, 所以 Corlis 說 pardon the pun.? 但最后蟒蛇成功吞吃了鱷魚,所以她又說: "but it did actually eat the crocodile".
