A New Jersey elementary school had an unexpected visitor over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend: A deer jumped through a small window and knocked over items in a classroom before fleeing the building.
感恩节假期週末，新泽西一所小学迎来一位不速之客：一只鹿跳过一扇小窗户，逃离该大楼以前，撞倒一间教室里头的物品。
A man walking his dog around 10 p.m. on Nov. 25 saw the young deer smash through a window at Cedar Grove Elementary School in Toms River, which is about 60 miles east of Philadelphia. The man notified police, and their subsequent search of the school was recorded by the officers’ bodycams.
11月25日晚间10点左右，一名男子遛狗时，看到这只小鹿冲破了位于费城以东约60英里的汤姆斯河镇钖达．格罗夫小学窗户。该男子通知了警方，警方随后对该校的搜查都被随身摄影录了下来。
When officers encountered the deer in a stairwell, the animal — who police have nicknamed “Rudolph” — initially charged at them as it ran down a hallway. It then entered a classroom by opening a door that happened to be unlatched and jumped onto a bookshelf, scattering some items — but it didn’t cause any major damage.
当员警在楼梯间遇到这只鹿时，这只鹿——警方给牠起了个绰号叫「鲁道夫」——最初沿着走廊冲向他们。然后牠打开一扇刚好没上拴的门进入教室，并跳上书架，导致一些物品散落——但未造成任何重大损坏。
