Translation

Saving the swan took three rescuers and one perfectly timed tackle.
白鳥の救助には3人の救助隊員と、完璧なタイミングのタックルが要りました。
When Nancy heard that a swan had a piece of metal stuck in their body, she immediately knew that this could not be a one-woman rescue.
ナンシーは、白鳥の体に金属が刺さっていると聞いた瞬間、これは一人では無理だと悟りました。
So she called two fellow rescuers, and the three of them headed out together.
そこで仲間の救助隊員2人を呼び、3人で一緒に現場へ向かいました。
They had to move slowly and work together, and they gradually created this human wall around the swan.
ゆっくりと動き、連携しながら、白鳥の周りに少しずつ人間の壁を作り上げていきました。
Honestly, crazy.
正直、すごいですね。
So they regrouped, closed the gaps, and tried again.
そこで陣を組み直し、隙間を埋め、もう一度挑みました。
And finally, Nancy saw her chance.
そしてついに、ナンシーはチャンスを見つけました。
And yes, it took all three of them.
はい、3人全員が必要でした。
But catching the swan was actually just half the battle.
しかし、白鳥を捕まえるのは実は半分に過ぎませんでした。
Now they had to find exactly where that metal was lodged and figure out a way to remove it without causing the swan more harm.
次は金属がどこに刺さっているか正確に特定し、白鳥をさらに傷つけずに取り除く方法を見つけなければなりませんでした。
All right, there's the metal.
よし、金属が見えた。
Okay.
オッケー。
Once the metal was gone, they released the swan and watched him head off safely.
金属を取り除くと、白鳥を解放し、無事に帰っていくのを見守りました。
After all that chasing and strategizing, and I guess one very committed tackle, I think there's just no better feeling.
あれだけ追いかけ、作戦を練り、そしておそらく非常に真剣なタックルをした後、これほど素晴らしい気持ちはないと思います。
