  文字稿//Man Uses Trash Can to Catch Alligator

 Here's a question for you. What animal is big, green, ugly, and sounds like this?

 Wow! That's scary! Did you guess what it is? It's an alligator.

 Did you know that there are more than a million alligators in Florida?

 That's right - there are over a million alligators in the US state of Florida.美國佛州，有超過一百萬隻鱷魚。

 What would you do if you saw an alligator?

 I would run as fast as I could to get away.

 But alligators are really fast.

 Some can run about 50 kilometers an hour.
 鱷魚跑起來的速度很快，時速可以高達 50 公里！

 A man in Florida named Eugene Bozzi saw an alligator in his neighbor's yard.

 It was two-meters long. 在 Florida ，有一個人發現他鄰居的院子，有一隻兩公尺長的鱷魚！

 But Eugene didn't run away.

 He used a garbage can to catch the alligator.

 但是 Eugene 沒有逃跑，而是用大垃圾桶把鱷魚抓起來。

 Eugene is a strong guy. But the alligator was strong, too.

 It made a big noise in the trash can. But Eugene didn't run away.

 He trapped the animal in the garbage can and shut the lid.

 Then he rolled the garbage can to a pond and let the alligator go in the water.

 Eugene 把鱷魚弄進垃圾桶裡，蓋上蓋子，然後把桶子推到水池邊，讓鱷魚回到水裡。

 I'm glad Taiwan doesn't have any alligators!
