lthough elephants are massive in size they can be sneaky at times.

虽然大象的体型巨大，但是它们偶尔也会很鬼祟。

One cheeky wild elephant has been caught carefully crossing the border between China and Laos - not once but twice - in the wee hours on Saturday.

周六凌晨，一头厚脸皮的野生大象被抓到偷偷越过中挝边界——不止一次，而是两次。

The jumbo animal was thought to be looking for food in Laos after passing the Chinese border watched by two guards. It returned to China about two hours later.

两名守卫目击到这头庞然大物越过中国边境进入老挝，它被认为是去寻找食物。它在两小时后回到了中国。

The wild Asian elephant stepped over the barrier at the China-Laos border near Chahe River China's Yunnan Province at around 4:30am according to a CCTV video released by China Central Television Station.

从中国中央电视台发布的视频来看，在凌晨4点30分左右，这头野生亚洲象跨过位于云南省岔河附近的中挝边境的障碍物。

Two Chinese border guards saw the huge animal at the checkpoint but failed to stop it. After it entered Laos the guards carried on observing the animal to ensure it doesn't harm any passersby according to Xinhua.

据新华社称，两名中国边防军在检查站目击到这头大象，但是没能阻止它。在大象进入老挝后，他们继续观察以确保大象没有伤害过路行人。

Zhou Xiaofei a soldier working at the Chinese border office told the Xinhua reporter it was the first time he and his colleagues had seen an elephant cross the border.

'We were afraid the elephant would pose danger to nearby residents so we send our workers to follow the elephants in the dark' Mr Zhou said.

“我们怕大象给附近的居民带来危险，所以我们派出了一些人在黑夜里跟着大象。”周说。

另外一个监控视频显示大象在6点左右回到了中国。

Th Asian elephant did not step over the barrier this time but walk around the gate it had used before.

这头亚洲象这次没有跨过障碍物，而是从它之前走过的出入口绕过去的。

It's believed that the elephant has returned to the forest without any harm.

人们相信这头大象回到了森林，此前没有造成任何破坏。

Chinese officer Zhou Xiaofei said the elephant had caused no damage or injuries in the nearby villages.

Asian elephants are considered as protected species under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) as well as Grade I National Key Protected Species in China.

亚洲象是濒临绝种野生动植物国际贸易公约下的受保护物种，也是中国的国家一级重点保护动物。

新华社报道，在中国西南部的西双版纳傣族自治区、普洱和临沧生活着约300头亚洲象。

It's funny DM will call the elephant an illegal immigrant but an actual illegal immigrant they call an undocumented worker. Makes sense.

好笑的是，DM把这头大象称作非法移民，但如果是真正的非法移民，他们又会叫成无证工人。有点意思。

I guess the elephant isn't illegal considering the elephant actually went back.

考虑到大象实际上回到中国了，我觉得它不是非法的。

Cute video but DM you need new writers. "Ridiculous" and "hilarious" are used ad nauseam in story headlines.

可爱的视频，但是天哪，你们需要新的写手了。“荒谬”和“滑稽”这两个词总是在故事标题里出现已经令人生厌作呕了。
