A MARTINEZ, HOST:

Good morning, I'm A Martinez. They call him Hank the Tank. He's a 500-pound black bear on an endless quest for easy grub, and he's wreaking havoc on California's Lake Tahoe area. He's damaged more than 30 homes, eluding capture for more than seven months. And just last week, he smashed a window and squeezed into a house while a family was home. Authorities chased him out and gathered DNA⁵ evidence. And if they catch him, Hank could be sent away to a wildlife sanctuary⁶. It's MORNING EDITION.

他们称他为“坦克汉克”——一只500磅重的黑熊，正在加利福尼亚的太浩湖地区肆虐。他破坏了30多所房屋，七个多月来一直躲避抓捕。

马丁内斯，主持人：

早上好，我是A Martinez。他们叫他坦克汉克。它是一只500磅重的黑熊，无休止地寻找的食物，它正在加利福尼亚的太浩湖地区肆虐。他破坏了30多所房屋，七个多月来一直没有被抓获。就在上周，当一家人在家时，他打碎了一扇窗户，挤进了一所房子。当局追捕了他并收集了DNA证据。如果他们抓到他，汉克可能会被送到野生动物保护区。这是早晨版。
