这个月初美国德克萨斯州经历了场淹水…
![Earlier this month, Arlington, TX, experienced some flooding...](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/desktop-1435171145.jpg)
没想到有户人家的车道上,地基默默被掏空…造成了「沉洞」。
![And a sinkhole formed right underneath a local family's driveway.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/desktop-1435171125.jpg)
沉洞是自然现象,在雨水渗入土里面,将会慢慢侵蚀一些结构比较弱的石灰岩,有天就会塌陷。
大家都没发现,直到有只可怜的生物一脚踩下,直接栽了下去…
![But they didn't realize it until a completely unsuspecting, helpless animal fell through the earth's surface.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/desktop-1435171104.jpg)
3组救难队加上挖土机忙了2小时,就是要救出可怜的「受害者」。
![For two hours, three rescue teams and a backhoe worked together to free Ginger, a horse owned by Carolyn Putney for the past 25 years.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/desktop-1435171084.jpg)
由于受害者「不小」,救难队吃了不少苦头。
![Instinctively, she tried to kick herself free, but that only made her sink further into the earth.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/desktop-1435171066.jpg)
但团结力量大!大家终于把这次的主角─马,给成功吊了上来!
![But with a lot of teamwork...](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/desktop-1435171006.jpg)
这只马名叫「姜姜」,是卡洛琳 (Carolyn Putney) 养了25年的宠物。她被困在1.2公尺深的洞穴中,因为恐惧而不断乱踢,一度越陷越深。
![About 15 firefighters were able to hoist the majestic animal out of the four-foot-deep hole with some strategically placed straps.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/desktop-1435171028.jpg)
姜姜的腿上有明显刮伤,重返地面的她精疲力尽。
![She had a couple scratches on her legs and was exhausted from the harrowing experience...](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/desktop-1435170988.jpg)
还好在接受兽医检查之后,姜姜恢复良好,预计很快就能活蹦乱跳了!
![But after she was rushed to the vet for a checkup and treatment, she and Putney were told that her recovery would be a quick one!](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/desktop-1435170973.jpg)
姜姜~没事不要再掉进洞里了!地表才是妳家啊!
![Now she's safe and sound, above the earth's surface, where she belongs!](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/desktop-1435170932.jpg)
不过比起其他沉洞来说呢,这其实算是很小儿科了啦!
