But once when he got up too close and started for the same bit of meat as one of the others, the big lion rose up and gave him a slap. 但是有一次，他站得太近了，想要和其他狮子进食同样的肉时，大狮子站了起来，打了他一巴掌。
It seemed a light blow, but it sent the youngster 1 sprawling 2 into the grass. 这似乎是一个轻微的打击，但却把小狮子打翻在草地上。
He jumped up and ran over to the other side of the zebra, where he lay down beside a lioness, probably his mother. 小狮子跳起来，跑到斑马的另一边，躺在一只母狮子旁边，这也许是它的妈妈。

We were just discussing this in whispers when one of the big lions left the zebra, walked over to the fallen camera, and began chewing on it. 就在我们窃窃私语的时候，一只大狮子离开了斑马，走到倒下的摄像机前，开始咀嚼斑马。

slowly at first, but when he saw it did not move, he pounced 4 on it. 起初，他慢慢地，但当他看到三脚架没有动，随即扑过去。
