A man belly flops near two whales, not just any whales, in orca and its calf, or more recognizably known as a killer whale.
一名男子在两头鲸鱼身边上演了“肚皮跳水”，这两头鲸鱼可不是一般的鲸鱼，而是逆戟鲸（更为人知的名字是虎鲸）和它的幼崽。
Other boaters look on and cheer as the man tries to touch the mammal.
当该男子试图触摸这一哺乳动物时，船上其他人在旁观并大声欢呼出来。
The footage of a man leaping from the boat and into the water was shared worldwide earlier this year.

Its government's Department of Conservation said in a statement, "It's a very clear breach of the Marine Mammals Protection Act.
新西兰政府的环境保护部在一份声明中表示：“这一行为明显违反了《海洋哺乳动物保护法》。
Orca are classified as whales under conservation legislation and it is illegal to swim with whales, or disturb or harass any marine mammal."
根据保护法，逆戟鲸被归类为鲸鱼，而与鲸鱼一起游泳、或打扰、骚扰任何海洋哺乳动物，都是非法的。”
The man has since been fined $600.

"Killer whales are immensely powerful animals, and the incident could have ended horribly," say authorities.

Either the whale could have been injured, or the man could have been hurt if it became aggravated.
如果虎鲸被激怒，那就会演变成要么是鲸鱼受伤，要么是该男子受伤的结局。
The killer whale is the ocean's top predator, according to experts.
