夏天熱成狗 讓白鯨來幫你降降溫

The young crowd at this aquarium had a novel way of cooling down on the hottest day of the year。

在今年最熱的日子裏，年輕人在這個水族館裏有了一個新奇的降溫方法。

As temperatures hit 93.2F (34C) on the first day after rainy season in Japan this playful beluga whale rose out of the pool and sprayed them with water。

日本雨季過後的第一天，當地氣溫達到了93.2華氏度(34攝氏度)。水池中有一頭白鯨遊了上來，還向人們灑水玩。

Children among the crowd were left wincing after it blasted them as though it were a water hose, while others could be seen scrambling in a desperate bid to escape the drenching。

人羣裏的小孩子到處閃躲，就好像白鯨在用水管噴他們一樣，而其他人則狼狽地逃離現場，以免變成落湯雞。

The beluga whale is a favourite attraction at the Hakkeijima Sea Paradise aquarium in Yokohama, south of Tokyo。

白鯨是東京南部橫濱八景島海洋樂園水族館的熱門參觀對象。

Located amid the port of Yokohama Bay, the relatively new site has fast become one of the country's premier visitor attractions thanks to its cheeky beluga whale。

八景島海洋樂園坐落於橫濱灣港口之中，是一個相對較新的遊樂場所。多虧了那頭調皮的白鯨，那裏迅速成爲了日本最主要的旅遊景點之一。

Commonly referred to as the melonhead, the beluga is an Arctic and sub-Arctic cetacean. It is also known as a sea canary due to its high-pitched twitter。

白鯨是出沒於北極和北極附近的鯨魚，它們經常被叫成“蜜瓜頭”。因爲它們叫聲尖銳，所以也被稱爲海上金絲雀。

It is adapted to life in the Arctic with its unmistakable all-white colour and the absence of a dorsal fin。

白鯨全身都是白色的，沒有背鰭，十分容易辨認，這是它們適應北極環境的結果。

The friendly creatures form groups of up to 10 animals on average, although during the summer months, they can gather in the hundreds or even thousands in estuaries and shallow coastal areas。

它們的性情也十分友好溫和。一羣白鯨的數目通常不會超過10頭。但是在夏季，成百上千的白鯨會在河口和淺灘聚集起來。
