Do you know the No.1 killer in accidents during the summer in Australia is? It’s not man-eating sharks, crocodiles, or deadly snakes, but water. As the mercury rises, millions flock to Australia’s dazzling beaches and sparkling swimming pools to cool off. It’s a way of life in the water-obsessed nation that has produced a number of great swimmers. More than 30,000 volunteer lifesavers man the beaches daily and many lifeguards are on duty at public swimming pools, yet an average of 300 people drawn each year. By contrast, sharks are blamed for one death a year, while crocodiles have killed only about a dozen people in the past 20 years.

オーストラリアの夏の間の事故の死亡原因の1位は何か、あなたは知っていますか?それ(死亡原因1位)は、人食い鮫、ワニ、致死性の毒蛇ではなく水なのです。水銀柱が上昇するにつれて、数百万もの人々が、涼を求めてオーストラリアのまばゆい浜辺やきらめくプールに群がります。 それは、多くの優れたスイマーを生んできた水に心を奪われた国の生活様式なのです。30,000以上のボランティアの水難救助隊員が、毎日、浜辺を受け持ち、多くの救助員が、公営のプールで勤務しています。それでも、毎年、平均300人が溺死します。対照的に、サメが死亡原因となるのは1年に1件であり、他方、ワニは、過去20年で約12人の死亡原因にしかなっていません。 元の英文は、以下の様ではないかと推測して訳しました。 Do you know 【what】 the No.1 killer in accidents during the summer in Australia is?
