Fears Surface after Hippo Kills Tourist from Shanghai

　　中国游客在肯尼亚给小河马拍照 遭母河马咬死

　　A Shanghai tourist killed in Kenya by a hippopotamus on Monday has sparked fears among tourism insiders over Chinese visitors joining adventure tours without sufficient awareness of self-protection.

　　一名上海游客在肯尼亚旅游时被母河马咬死。这一事件给那些没有足够自我保护意识的冒险家们敲响了警钟。

　　The Standard, an English-language newspaper in Kenya, reported that a woman in her 30s was attacked by a female hippo as she tried to take photos of a baby hippo at Lake Naivasha Country Club, 5 km from a nature reserve in the town of Naivasha. She died on the way to hospital.

　　肯尼亚一家正规英文报社报道称，这名30来岁的女游客试图给小河马拍照时，被母河马袭击，在送往医院的路上过世。事件发生于纳瓦沙湖乡村俱乐部，离纳瓦沙镇自然保护区5千米处。

　　Kenyan Wildlife Service officers shot the hippo dead after the incident.

　　事件发生后，肯尼亚野生动物服务处射杀了这头袭击人的河马。

　　The woman, who has not been identified, was seriously injured to the waist and neck and was taken to a private hospital where she was pronounced dead, Osman Ibrahim, the warden in charge of Hell's Gate National Park, south of Lake Naivasha, told the newspaper. Her body was taken to Nairobi, the Kenyan capital.

　　目前，还未确定死者身份。她的腰和颈部都受了重伤，事件发生后被立即送往当地私立医院，最终因伤重无救身亡。尸体被运往肯尼亚首都奈洛比。纳瓦沙湖南部的地狱之门国家公园负责人Osman Ibrahim接受采访时这样说道。

　　The Chinese embassy in Kenya confirmed the incident, according to Xinhua News Agency, but had released no further details as of Tuesday night.

　　据新华社报道，中国驻肯尼亚大使也确认了这一消息，但并未透露事件细节。

　　Zhang Jie, from the Shanghai Tourism Administration, said it was an isolated case and the tourism bureau is not advising Chinese tourists to stop visiting Kenya.

　　而上海旅游管理处的张杰(音译)告诉记者说，该事件只是个例，旅游局并不会因此面限制肯尼亚的旅游。

　　Han Jun, chairman of the China General Chamber of Commerce in East Africa, who also runs a travel agency in Nairobi also said the accident was an individual case.

　　驻东非的中国总商会主席韩军(音译)也表示，该事件只是突发事件。他在奈洛比经营一家旅行社。

　　He said more than 40,000 Chinese travelers visited Kenya last year. The figure was just 28,000 in 2010, according to the China Tourism Academy.

　　他说，去年来肯尼亚旅游的中国游客有4万多人。据中国旅游局统计，2010年这个数字2.8万人。
