鳄鱼摔跤
Deep in the jungles of Australia lives, perhaps, the bravest man in the world. His name is Dude. Yes, just "Dude". Dude wrestles 2 alligators 3. He wrestles for fun and for money. People come from all over the world to watch Dude wrestles in the muddy water of "the outback" with some of the world's most ferocious 4 animals. Wearing only a pair of alligator-skin briefs and his boots, Dude wades 5 into the water ready to rouse the first gator he sees.
澳洲丛林深处住着第一个大概可以称得上是全世界最勇敢的人了。他名叫杜德，没错，就是“杜德”。杜德和鳄鱼摔跤，一方面是好玩，另一方面则是可以赚钱。人们从世界各地前来观赏杜德在澳洲“内陆”的泥泞水域中，和世界上最凶猛的动物之一进行摔跤。杜德只穿着一件鳄鱼皮内裤和一双靴子，便涉水设法激怒他看到的第一只鳄鱼。
The alligator in his neck of the woods know Dude and are always ready for a fight when he comes hunting. When he spots a large, adult male he slowly approaches. The alligator snaps once of twice. Dude dives on top of the alligator. If he can get on top of the alligator, he has less of a chance of getting snatched up in the reptiles 6 giant jaws 7. Once on top, Dude gets the gator in a headlock until he is able to force its mouth shut. Once he has done that, the fight is almost over. Finally, Dude gives the gator one swift kick to the stomach. This is the softest part of the animal, causing the gator to give up the fight. Dude has won the fight and the crowd applauds.
这一地区的鳄鱼都认识杜德，随时准备和前来狩猎的杜德进行搏斗。当鳄鱼看到这个高大的成年男子时，便慢慢地向他接近。鳄鱼设法咬他一两次，杜德则冲到鳄鱼背上；因为他只要能跳到鳄鱼背上，被这种爬虫类动物的大嘴巴咬住的机会就会变少。只要到了鳄鱼背上，杜德便可以将鳄鱼的头紧挟在腋下，逼鳄鱼合上嘴巴。一旦成功让鳄鱼合上嘴巴，战斗就差不多结束了。最后杜德在鳄鱼的肚子上飞快地踢上一脚，那里是鳄鱼这种动物最软的地方，一旦中招，鳄鱼只得放弃战斗。杜德赢得胜利，群众也鼓掌向他喝彩。
