the Beast of Bodmin
/ðə ˌbiːst əv ˈbɒdmɪn/
/ðə ˌbiːst əv ˈbɑːdmɪn/
- an animal that some people say they have seen on Bodmin Moor in south-west England. Some think it is a big cat, such as a lion, that has escaped from a zoo (= a place where wild animals are kept for the public to see them). Other people think that there is no Beast of Bodmin, and that people have simply seen large dogs in the fog.
博德明野兽：有人说他们在英格兰西南部的博德明高沼上看到过的动物。有人认为这是一只从狮子中逃脱的大猫，例如一只狮子（那是饲养野生动物供公众观看的地方）。其他人则认为没有博德明的野兽，人们只是在雾中看到大狗。
