A father in Australia is being hailed1 as a hero. Because he saved his baby son from the jaws of a wild dingo2. The baby was dragged from his campervan3 on Friday. His father awoke and heard his sons screams outside. He rushed to his sons aid and dragged his son from the dingos jaws. He also fought off other animals in the pack. The 14-month-old baby boy was rushed to hospital and underwent surgery4. Doctors report he is now in a stable condition and is expected to make a full recovery. The father said： “Our son is doing well....We ask the media to please respect our familys privacy5 while we focus on our sons recovery.”

澳大利亞的一位父亲被誉为英雄，因为他从野狗的口中救出了他的儿子。周五，这名婴儿被野狗从露营车上拖了下来。他父亲醒了，听到外面儿子的尖叫声。他急忙冲到儿子身边来救援，把儿子从野狗嘴里拖了出来。他还击退了野狗群里其他的动物。这名14个月大的男婴被紧急送往医院接受手术。医生告知，说他目前情况稳定，有望完全康复。父亲说：“我们的儿子目前状况很好……我们希望媒体在我们关注儿子康复的同时能尊重我们家庭的隐私。”

The recent attack on the baby boy is the third such incident this year. Hannah Robinson， said many visitors did not realize they should not camp in unfenced6 areas with children under the age of 12. She said there was not enough education about how to be aware of the threat7 of the animals on the island. She added： “We have been calling for a visitors center for years. This is one of the most-visited national parks and there is nobody around to give people information about what they can and cannot do. People who do the wrong thing are either naive8 or stupid.”

这名男婴最近遭受的袭击是今年发生的第三起类似事件。汉娜·罗宾逊说，许多游客没有意识到，他们不应该和12岁以下的孩子一起在没有隔离的地区露营。她说，关于如何意识到岛上动物危害的教育还不够。她补充说：“多年来我们一直在呼吁建立一个游客中心。这是游客最多的国家公园之一，周围没有人告诉游客他们能做什么和不能做什么。犯错的人要么幼稚，要么愚蠢。”
