In western legends, crocodiles are not only brutal but also very crafty. When looking at people, animals, fish or some other possible prey, the crocodile will always "cry" a few tears, as if it bemoans the state of the universe and pities the fate of humankind. But the tears are false, and only serve to lull hapless prey.

西方傳說中鱷魚不僅是殘酷的，還很狡猾。當它看人，動物，魚類或其他獵物時，它會流眼淚，好似在哀嘆宇宙和人類的命運，然而令人嘆息的是，鱷魚的眼淚不是真的，只是為了麻痺獵物。

Prey（《獵物》）是《侏羅紀公園》作者Michael Crichton於2002年出版的一本硬核科幻小說，涉及分散式計算、遺傳學、奈米科技等前沿領域。
