Australian man’s ‘breast implant’ find revealed as jellyfish
A jellyfish was handed to police in Australia under the mistaken belief it was a breast implant and possible evidence of a crime.
breast /brest/ n. 乳房,胸部
implant /ɪm'plɑːnt/ n. 种植,嵌入
A concerned man submitted the "bagged and tagged circular object" to officers in a police station on Queensland's Sunshine Coast late last week.
He feared it might have indicated a drowning or possibly a murder. The police station said in a statement that they had soon confirmed the find was not sinister.
submit /səb'mɪt/ v. 提交,呈递
drowning /'drauniŋ/ n. 溺亡
sinister /'sɪnɪstə/ n. 危险的,不吉利的,险恶的
"Officers at the station were all hands on deck when, much to their initial alarm, a concerned citizen attended the counter to report a possible homicide," said the statement.
"Investigations revealed what police suspected… the item was indeed a jellyfish."
