The Loch Ness Monster
尼斯湖水怪
Loch Ness, the largest freshwater lake in the British Isles, is twenty four miles long and, at one point, one and a half miles wide.
尼斯湖是大不列顛群島最大的淡水湖，有24英里長，一邊有1.5英里寬。
It has an average depth of four hundred and fifty feet and at times drops close to a thousand.
湖的平均水深是450英尺，有時(shí)候高達(dá)1000英尺。
It is cold and murky, with dangerous currents. In short, it is the perfect place to hide a monster from even the sharpest eyes of science.
這里又冷又黑暗，還有危險(xiǎn)的激流。總之，這里是隱藏怪物的絕佳之處，即使是最銳利的科學(xué)之眼也很難察覺到。
The Loch Ness Monster, also called Nessie, is supposedly living in this area.
尼斯湖水怪也叫尼西，據(jù)說在這個(gè)地區(qū)生活。
The earliest recorded sighting of the Loch Ness Monster was in the biography of St. Columba by Adamnan in the year 565 AD.
最早有關(guān)尼斯湖水怪的場景記錄出現(xiàn)在公元565年，阿德曼寫的圣鴿屬的傳記中。
The monster apparently attacked and killed a man who was swimming in the River Ness.
顯然，怪物襲擊和殺害了正在尼斯湖洗澡的人。
The monster didn't make headlines again until August 27, 1930 when 3 fishermen reported seeing a creature 20 feet long approaching their boat, throwing water in the air.
直到1930年8月27日，三個(gè)漁人看見一頭20英里長的怪物正向他們的船游來，拍打著湖水，水花四濺，怪物又上了報(bào)紙的頭條。
As it passes them, its wake caused their boat to rock violently.
當(dāng)它經(jīng)過漁船，引起漁船猛烈地震動(dòng)。
In 1933, after a new road was built along the Loch, the number of reports soared.
1933年，建了沿湖新馬路之后，相關(guān)的報(bào)道就大大增加了。
Early in 1934 there was a land sighting of the beast. Arthur Grant, a young vet student, was out on his motorcycle one evening when he almost ran into the monster as it crossed the road.
1934年早期，有人在路邊看到了怪獸。一天晚上，阿瑟·格蘭特，一個(gè)年輕的獸醫(yī)學(xué)生，騎著摩托車經(jīng)過湖邊，遇見了那只怪物。
Grant's description of the thing, small head, long thin neck and tail with a big body, seemed to match the appearance of the Plesiosauru, an aquatic type of dinosaur that has been extinct for 65 million years.
格蘭特描述怪物的頭很小，脖子又細(xì)又長，身體很大。聽上去它的樣子和已經(jīng)滅絕了6500萬年的水生恐龍蛇頸龍相似。
In 1962 The Loch Ness Investigation Bureau was formed to act as a research organization for information about the creature.
1962年，尼斯湖調(diào)查局作為一個(gè)研究生物信息的組織成立了。
