神秘鸳鸯成纽约“明星” Mysterious mandarin duck makes a splash in NYC's Central Park

A rare(稀有的 xīyǒu de), beautiful(美丽的 měilì de) and mysterious(神秘的 shénmì de) mandarin duck(鸳鸯 yuānyāng) was spotted chilling in a pond in NYC's Central Park. Native to East Asia, no one knows how it got there. The colorful bird has become a "celebrity duck" as large crowds flock to the park in a frenzy to catch a glimpse of it.

Since there is no female(雌性 cíxìng) mandarin duck in the park to cross-breed, it has been named "New York's most eligible bachelor(单身汉 dānshēnhàn)" by New York Magazine.
