Wolf attacks are not common in many parts of the world where wolves live.
在世界上许多狼群居住的地方，被狼袭击并不多见。

A review of wolf attacks found that very few happened in the 50 years leading up to 2002 in Europe and North America, though there were a few hundred reported over the course of two decades in some regions of India, averaging out to close to 10 per year.
一份针对狼群袭击的报告发现，在2002年前的50年间，欧洲和北美洲很少发生狼袭击人的事件，不过近20年来，在印度一些地区发生过几百起人被狼袭击的事件，平均下来大概每年10起。

Estimates for lion-related deaths also vary year-to-year. A 2005 study found that since 1990, lions have killed 563 people in Tanzania alone, an average of about 22 a year.
命丧狮口的人数每年都不一样。2005年的一项研究发现，自1990年以来，光是在坦桑尼亚，就有563个人被狮子杀死，平均每年22人。

Additional deaths likely occur outside of Tanzania, but it's difficult to find a concrete global number.
在坦桑尼亚以外的其他地区，应该也有被狮子杀死的人，但难以得出一个具体的全球数据。
