寻找大脚怪。 托林·安德森 著 诺姆·格罗克 绘

I set a trap. No one has ever caught Bigfoot before. Some people think the giant hairy creatures don't even exist. But I think that Bigfoot is real. To prove it, I'm going to catch one tonight. Then I'm going to take it to school as my science fair project. I can't wait to see the look on the other kid's faces when I come to class with Bigfoot. I'm guaranteed to get first place in the science fair.

我设了一个陷阱。 从来没有人抓到过大脚怪。 有些人觉得这种巨型多毛生物根本不存在。 可我相信大脚怪真的存在。 为了证明这点，我今晚就要抓到一只。 之后我要把它带去学校，当作我的科学展项目。 我已经迫不及待想看我带大脚怪进班时，其他孩子脸上的表情了。 我肯定能拿下科学展的第一名。

How will I catch one? I've been learning everything I can about Bigfoot. Also, I set a trap for one behind my house. Now I just need to wait here and review my Bigfoot secret files.

我要怎么抓到它呢？ 我已经学遍了所有和大脚怪有关的知识。 另外，我已经在我家屋后设好了陷阱。 现在我只需要在这里等着，翻一翻我的大脚怪秘密档案。

What is Bigfoot? Bigfoot gets its name from the huge footprints it leaves behind, but not just its feet are gigantic. Bigfoot is said to be between six and nine feet tall and weigh more than 500 pounds. There have been sightings of both males and females. They are strong, ape -like creatures covered in thick hair. Bigfoot is known to walk on two legs, have long arms, and smell terrible, even worse than skunks.

大脚怪是什么？ 大脚怪的名字来源于它留下的巨大脚印，但可不只是它的脚巨大哦。 据说大脚怪身高在六到九英尺之间，体重超过五百磅。 人们曾经目击过雄性和雌性大脚怪。 它们是强壮的类人猿生物，浑身覆盖着浓密的毛发。 大脚怪用两条腿行走，手臂很长，气味非常难闻，比臭鼬还要臭。

Is Bigfoot real? Many people think that Bigfoot is a hoax, a practical joke played by people wearing gorilla suits and pretending to be Bigfoot. This doesn't explain why people have reported seeing Bigfoot for hundreds of years all over the world. Could there really be that many people wearing gorilla suits?

大脚怪真的存在吗？ 很多人觉得大脚怪是骗局，是人们穿大猩猩套装假扮它开的恶作剧。 这解释不了为什么几百年来世界各地都有人声称见过大脚怪。 世上真的会有这么多人穿大猩猩套装骗人吗？

After all, new species are still being discovered. In 2012, scientists announced a new species of monkey called the Lasula. Until then, only people in the Congo, in Africa, knew the Lasula existed. In fact, many rare animals are hard to find. There were no photographs of a giant squid until 2006. Some people thought that the giant squid was a hoax as well.

毕竟直到现在还有新物种被发现。 2012年，科学家宣布发现了一种叫拉苏拉的新猴子。 在那之前，只有非洲刚果的当地人知道拉苏拉存在。 实际上，很多稀有动物都很难被找到。 直到2006年，人类才拍到大王乌贼的照片。 以前也有人觉得大王乌贼也是骗局。
