網(wǎng)友：迄今為止最有趣的討論；我不反對(duì)大象可以從攻擊行為中識(shí)別友好的理論，就像我們?nèi)祟愐粯?，我可以看著一個(gè)陌生人，形成這個(gè)人是否對(duì)我友好的看法，然后等待結(jié)果。自然界中有如此多的東西我們還沒(méi)有完全理解，甚至我們?nèi)祟愐策€沒(méi)有相互理解……如果我們都能相互理解，那將是一個(gè)多么美好的世界?。?

Grow wings real quick!
Actually, you’ve gotten yourself into a real pickle this time. Just whatdid you do to piss them off anyway? Well, I guess it doesn’t matter, you’renot gonna talk your way out of this one.
OK, First: Don’t panic. Oh, too late for that eh?
如果你有翅膀的話可以逃得很快。
事實(shí)上，這次你真的陷入了困境。你到底做了什么惹他們生氣？好吧，我想這沒(méi)關(guān)系，你已經(jīng)不能用你自己的方式來(lái)解決這件事情了。
好吧，首先：不要驚慌。什么，已經(jīng)太晚了？
If possible, zig-zag often, elephants are not known to be nimble. You may stay ahead of them that way, although a whole herd…that’s some ground to cover.
Your best chance is running downhill if available. Elephants will charge uphill with no problem, but they have a hell of a time controlling their body weight on a downslope. Be looking for that.
好吧，信不信由你，那些笨重的野獸很容易跑到你前面，所以你最好的機(jī)會(huì)就是你所處的地形和環(huán)境。
如果可能的話，最好是曲折行進(jìn)，大象不是目前已知的靈活物種。你要跑在整個(gè)獸群的前面，找些遮掩物阻擋他們。
如果可能的話，你最好的機(jī)會(huì)就是跑下坡路。大象會(huì)毫無(wú)問(wèn)題地沖上坡路，但它們?cè)谙缕聲r(shí)需要控制體重，這個(gè)時(shí)間非常長(zhǎng)。尋找這樣的機(jī)會(huì)。
Elephants have an excellent sense of smell, but they don’t see too good.
Hit the tall grass and if possible, throw your hat or your shirt high up and away,
they may be distracted by that and go after it while you hunch over and continue running in the opposite direction.
如果你撞到了一些高草，如果你在順風(fēng)方向，他們可能會(huì)跟丟你。
大象有很好的嗅覺(jué)，但它們的視力不太好。
碰到高高的草，如果可能的話，把你的帽子或襯衫高高拋開(kāi)，這樣當(dāng)你彎腰繼續(xù)朝相反的方向跑的時(shí)候，他們可能會(huì)因此而分心去追趕它。
Look for any large obxts that you can get behind or get between you and the remaining pachyderm. Chances are, that would only be a tree or a rock.
If large trees are in the area, for sure head to one and don’t even slow down when you get there. Just bolt right up like you were wily coyote and hang on for dear life. Elephants just never did get the knack for climbing trees. Now, of course it has to be a big tree. (Obviously)
不過(guò)，肯定會(huì)有一兩個(gè)，要比其他人聰明，要么只是出于愚蠢的運(yùn)氣，沒(méi)有上當(dāng)受騙，發(fā)現(xiàn)你在草地上偷偷溜走。他們將繼續(xù)追擊。
尋找任何可以擋在你身后或擋在你和其余厚皮動(dòng)物之間的大物體。很可能，那只是一棵樹(shù)或一塊石頭。
如果附近有大樹(shù)，往大樹(shù)跑，到達(dá)那里之前不要減速。就像你是一只狡猾的郊狼一樣，趕快逃命吧。大象從來(lái)沒(méi)有爬樹(shù)的本領(lǐng)。當(dāng)然它必須是一棵大樹(shù)（你懂的）。
last resort is just play dead and hope there’s enough of you left after they are done tossing you around to be worth reassembling.
Good Luck!
如果沒(méi)有樹(shù)，找一條溝渠潛水。沒(méi)有溝渠…嘿，你完蛋了，伙計(jì)。你最后的辦法就是裝死，希望在他們把你拋來(lái)拋去，再遺棄后，你還能夠被組裝起來(lái)。
祝你好運(yùn)！
No one would have done better than this Thai man in Thailand… He humbly apologized with a wai (traditional gesture) when he found out that his bike angered this herd of Jumbos in Khao Yai National Park, Thailand.
… and he survived!
在泰國(guó)，沒(méi)有人會(huì)比這個(gè)泰國(guó)人做得更好……當(dāng)他發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的自行車(chē)激怒了泰國(guó)考艾國(guó)家公園的一群巨無(wú)霸時(shí)，他謙卑地用一個(gè)wai（傳統(tǒng)手勢(shì)）道歉?！盍讼聛?lái)！

He was among the fortunate few who came face-to-face with the jumbos and escaped unscathed, while many cars have been damaged and some curious ones who came out of the vehicles to snap the photos- killed.
Do not get out of the car!
Please learn the gesture of ‘Thai wai’ when visiting Thailand…
他是少數(shù)幾位幸運(yùn)的人之一，他們面對(duì)面地與巨無(wú)霸相遇，安然無(wú)恙地逃脫，而許多汽車(chē)已經(jīng)損壞，一些好奇的人從車(chē)?yán)锍鰜?lái)拍照時(shí)被打死。
遇到大象，不要下車(chē)！
訪問(wèn)泰國(guó)時(shí)，請(qǐng)學(xué)習(xí)‘Thai wai’的手勢(shì)…
I can't imagine anyone believing this. Indicating submission by making yourself appear smaller - slightly more believable. You could as well say that he offered his hand and the elephant understood it and shook his hand. That is as dangerous advice.
我不覺(jué)得別人會(huì)相信你說(shuō)的。通過(guò)使自己顯得更小來(lái)表示服從——可能更可信一些。你也可以說(shuō)，他伸出了手，大象明白了，握了握他的手。這是一個(gè)危險(xiǎn)的建議。
This is an unprecedented, and the first of its kind- it happened and surprised everyone in my country
這事以前沒(méi)有過(guò)先例，這是第一次——但是他的確發(fā)生了，讓我國(guó)的每個(gè)人都感到驚訝。
Yes, but self-deprecating DOES work in many cases. And as I said, elephants are smart. I believe they perceived that in him.
是的，自謙在很多情況下確實(shí)有用。正如我所說(shuō)，大象很聰明。我相信他們?cè)谒砩峡吹搅诉@一點(diǎn)。
In Thailand, a Wai usually only works with the 4 legged animals. For the two-legged variety, one might need to break open his or her wallet.
在泰國(guó)，這個(gè)手勢(shì)通常只對(duì)四足動(dòng)物有效。對(duì)于雙腿動(dòng)物，可能需要打開(kāi)錢(qián)包。
Moped Rider Begs for Mercy as Angry Elephants Charge at him in Thailand
Here is one lix! It seems that the elephants realized that the man is harmless to the baby elephants!
鏈接：在泰國(guó)，摩托車(chē)騎手向憤怒的大象祈求憐憫
就是這個(gè)鏈接里的事情！大象似乎意識(shí)到這個(gè)人對(duì)幼象是無(wú)害的！
Thai elephants are polite. Try that with African elephants, and no prayer will save you.
泰國(guó)大象很有禮貌。對(duì)非洲象試試看，祈禱是救不了你的。
Knowing how intelligent elephants are they probably correctly deciphered his gesture as an apology or as humility.
大象很聰明，他們可能正確地將他的手勢(shì)解讀為道歉或謙遜。
It was reported that during the Covid, the National Park is under siege… Any human seen by the jumbos will be treated as an invader, and more Wais are expected….Scary!
據(jù)報(bào)道，在新冠疫情期間，國(guó)家公園遭到圍攻……任何被巨獸看到的人都將被視為入侵者，預(yù)計(jì)會(huì)有更多的流浪漢……可怕！
John Walkington
interesting discussion so far; I have no problem with the theory that elephants can recognise friendliness from agressive behaviour, just like we humans, I can look at a stranger and form an opinion whether this person is friendly towards me or not, and then wait for the outcome.
There is so such out there in nature we still do not fully comprehend, more so that we humans still do not understand each other…….what a wonderful world it would be if we could all understand each other?
迄今為止最有趣的討論；我不反對(duì)大象可以從攻擊行為中識(shí)別友好的理論，就像我們?nèi)祟愐粯?，我可以看著一個(gè)陌生人，形成這個(gè)人是否對(duì)我友好的看法，然后等待結(jié)果。
自然界中有如此多的東西我們還沒(méi)有完全理解，甚至我們?nèi)祟愐策€沒(méi)有相互理解……如果我們都能相互理解，那將是一個(gè)多么美好的世界??！
In all seriousness, if you see an elephant, drop to the floor and start acting like you’re having a seizure, small things moving startles elephants and makes them run away for some reason.
說(shuō)真的，如果你看到一頭大象，趴在地上，開(kāi)始表現(xiàn)得像癲癇發(fā)作一樣，移動(dòng)的小東西會(huì)嚇到大象，使它們不知何故逃跑。
From a African Elephant perspective. Animals primarily follow smell. If you run downwind (the wind blowing on your back) the possibility exist that you might survive. Maybe, as elephants move faster than you could through the savanna. They would only be mad if they feel endangered and the herd would have youngsters in it as bull elephants are more solitary. They would stop as soon as they do not feel threatened anymore but let me assure you, elephants move very quickly and silently through the bush if they want to.
從非洲象的角度來(lái)看。動(dòng)物主要靠嗅覺(jué)。如果你順風(fēng)跑（風(fēng)從背后吹來(lái)），你可能會(huì)活下來(lái)。也許，大象在熱帶稀樹(shù)草原上的移動(dòng)速度比你想象的要快。它們只有在感到危險(xiǎn)時(shí)才會(huì)發(fā)瘋，因?yàn)楂F群中有幼象，而公象更喜歡獨(dú)處。一旦它們不再感到受到威脅，它們就會(huì)停下來(lái)。但讓我向你們保證，如果它們想的話，大象會(huì)非常迅速、安靜地穿過(guò)灌木叢。
Climbing either up or down a steep high cliff would be a good start. You sure as hell aren’t going to out run an elephant. They are a lot faster than you.
Taking a boat out into the middle of a deep lake is another way to escape them, and then you can sit there and wait for them to calm down and leave.
It is probably better to not piss the elephants off in the first place, because I don’t think that you would make the first 100 meters. Elephants can run 35 MPH and you can’t.
爬上或爬下陡峭的懸崖都是一個(gè)好的開(kāi)始。你肯定跑不過(guò)大象。他們比你快得多。
乘船到深湖中央是另一種逃離他們的方法，然后你可以坐在那里等他們平靜下來(lái)離開(kāi)。
一開(kāi)始最好不要惹大象生氣，因?yàn)槲也徽J(rèn)為你能逃出100米之外。大象能跑35英里每小時(shí)，而你卻不行。
I don't know. They can roll cars, so getting in the car doesn't guarantee safety. If you climb a tree, they can shake trees. If you go into the water, they're not afraid of that. If you go into a cave, a leopard might live there. Maybe jump on a helicopter, if there happens to be one, (with a pilot). Go into the nearest secure building, if there is one. I just don't know. Best plan: Try not to p*ss them off, in the first place.
我不知道。他們可以把車(chē)掀翻，所以上車(chē)不能保證安全。如果你爬上一棵樹(shù)，它們會(huì)搖樹(shù)。如果你下水，他們不會(huì)害怕的。如果你進(jìn)入一個(gè)洞穴，一只豹子可能住在那里。也許跳上直升機(jī)，如果碰巧有一架（機(jī)上有飛行員）。進(jìn)入最近的安全建筑，如果有。我也沒(méi)有好辦法。最好的辦法：一開(kāi)始，就不要從他們身邊經(jīng)過(guò)。

Figure out why they’re pissed off at you and apologize. Quickly. Very quickly.
找出他們?yōu)槭裁瓷愕臍獠⒌狼浮Ｑ杆俚亍?/b>
Dont piss them off in the 1st place
Your question lacks information
Where are you
What is your surroundings, like hills, trees, ditches, water etc…
Do you have weapons
Do you have a vehicle
首先不要惹他們生氣
你的問(wèn)題缺乏關(guān)鍵信息
你在哪？
你周?chē)沫h(huán)境是什么，比如山、樹(shù)、溝、水等等…
你有武器嗎
你有車(chē)嗎
Stop, turn around and bow. Show the majestic and intelligent creatures respect and love. And maybe they will treat you the same way back.
停下來(lái)，轉(zhuǎn)身鞠躬。向雄偉智慧的生物表達(dá)尊重和愛(ài)意。也許他們會(huì)以同樣的方式對(duì)待你。
Find a tree or a rift in the earth (ditch/gulley/a depression) and pray. You can't go right or left or into a hot air balloon. You just find something and hope.
找到一棵樹(shù)或地上的裂縫（溝渠/溝渠/洼地）并祈禱。你不能向右、向左或進(jìn)入熱氣球。你只要找到一些東西和希望。
Hope there’s a tree you can climb. Otherwise, you will have stand your ground or find a way to put a lion herd or hippos between you & them.
希望有一棵樹(shù)你可以爬。否則，你就只能堅(jiān)守陣地，或者想辦法讓獅子群或河馬夾在你和他們之間。

Honestly your best bet if there's no where to escape like a rocky crag or something is to stand still, wave your arms around and shout.
老實(shí)說(shuō)，如果找不到像巖石峭壁或其他東西那樣的逃生地點(diǎn)，你最好的辦法就是站著不動(dòng)，揮動(dòng)你的手臂，大聲喊叫。
It's best to lay down flat and hope they don't step on you.
最好平躺下來(lái)，希望他們不要踩到你。
YES! IF YOU ARE IN A RACE CAR WITH A 10 mile HEAD START.!
