大象过六十岁生日
Sunday is one lucky elephant's birthday and she received a celebration almost as big as she is.
星期天是一只幸运的大象的生日，她得到了一个几乎和她的体型一样大型的庆祝活动。
Lucky, an Asian elephant at the San Antonio Zoo, turned 60 on Sunday, reaching an age more than a decade older than her species' average life expectancy.
周日，圣安东尼奥动物园的亚洲象拉基迎来了60岁生日，比她的同类的平均寿命长了十多岁。
The zoo celebrated Lucky's birthday on Facebook Live, showing off her exhibit decked out in edible decorations and birthday signs as well as a massive cake made from vegetables and fruits.
动物园在脸书直播上庆祝了拉基的生日，展示了她的礼物，里面有可食用的装饰品和生日标志，还有一个用蔬菜和水果做的大蛋糕。
"The significance of Lucky being 60 years old is very big," said Candace Gutierrez, one of the zoo's animal care specialists, during Lucky's livestreamed birthday celebration.
动物园的动物护理专家坎迪斯·古铁雷斯在“拉基”的直播生日庆典上说:“'拉基’能活到60岁意义重大。
"It's a tribute to the care that they get with our staff," Gutierrez said.
古铁雷斯说:“这要归功于我们工作人员的对它细致的关心。”
"Their wild counterparts do not live as long because again their teeth wear down, their eyesight changes, even their hearing and their skin is sensitive."
“它们的野生同类活不了那么久，因为它们的牙齿会磨损，视力也会改变，甚至听力也会变差，皮肤也会变得敏感。”
Fans of Lucky were able to watch her and her two elephant friends, Nichole and Karen, snack on her birthday treats on the livestream.
拉基的粉丝们可以在直播上看到她和她的两个大象朋友尼古拉和凯伦在她生日时一起吃零食。
Lucky has been at the San Antonio Zoo since 1962.
自1962年以来，拉基一直在圣安东尼奥动物园生活。
She's known by her keepers as being one of the sweetest and most laid-back elephants at the zoo.
她被饲养员称为动物园里最可爱、最悠闲的大象之一。
The big girl is a fan of treats and playing fetch.
这个大女孩是个爱吃零食和玩捉迷藏的家伙。
Most Asian elephants in the wild live for an average of 48 years and elephants at the zoo tend to live longer because they receive special food, daily foot work and body checks, Gutierrez said.
古铁雷斯说，大多数野生亚洲象的平均寿命为48年，而动物园里的大象寿命更长，因为它们接受特殊的食物、每天的脚部训练和身体检查。
It costs the zoo $3,500 a month to feed one Asian elephant, Tim Morrow, the zoo's president said in an email.
动物园园长蒂姆·莫罗在电子邮件中说，动物园每月要花3,500美元来喂养一头亚洲象。
The zoo, which is hurting financially due to the coronavirus lockdown, used the celebration as an opportunity to do some fundraising.
由于新状病毒引发的隔离，动物园的财务受到了影响，他们正好利用这次庆祝活动来筹集资金。
"Unlike most zoos in the country, San Antonio Zoo depends 100% on ticket sales, guest spending, grants, and donations to operate. With no visitors, the zoo has lost almost the entirety of its income," Morrow said, before asking for donations.
“与美国大多数动物园不同，圣安东尼奥动物园100%依赖门票销售、游客消费、拨款和捐赠来运营。由于没有游客，动物园几乎失去了所有的收入，”莫罗说，同时希望人们参与捐款。
