暮光之城?暮色 第96期:第七章 夢(mèng)魘(5)

[00:00.90]If there is in this world a well-attested account, it is that of the vampires. “如果這個(gè)世界上有一份屢經(jīng)證實(shí)的報(bào)告，那一定是關(guān)于吸血鬼的。 [00:06.85]Nothing is lacking: official reports, affidavits of well-known people, 沒(méi)有任何東西能被遺漏掉：官方報(bào)道，知情者的口供， [00:13.61]of surgeons, of priests, of magistrates; the judicial proof is most complete. 外科醫(yī)生的證明，牧師的證詞，法官的證言。 [00:20.40]And with all that, who is there who believes in vampires? — Rousseau 所有司法上的證據(jù)都完備了。但是，即使知道這一切，有人會(huì)相信吸血鬼的存在嗎?——盧梭” [00:27.06]The rest of the site was an alphabetized listing 余下部分是一張依字母表排列的清單， [00:30.99]of all the different myths of vampires held throughout the world. 囊括了全世界所有關(guān)于吸血鬼的各種各樣的傳說(shuō)。 [00:34.26]The first I clicked on, the Danag, 我首先點(diǎn)開(kāi)了“丹拿”， [00:36.83]was a Filipino vampire supposedly responsible for planting taro on the islands long ago. 這是一種菲律賓的吸血鬼，很多年以前是負(fù)責(zé)在島上種植芋頭的。 [00:43.45]The myth continued that the Danag worked with humans for many years, 這個(gè)傳說(shuō)里講到，丹拿為人類工作了很多年， [00:48.34]but the partnership ended one day when a woman cut her finger and a Danag sucked her wound, 直到有一天，這樣的合作關(guān)系卻破裂了。一個(gè)女人不小心切到了手指， [00:54.46]enjoying the taste so much that it drained her body completely of blood. 而一個(gè)丹拿為她吮吸傷口，因?yàn)橛X(jué)得滋味太好了，最后它把她體內(nèi)所有的血都喝干了。 [00:59.00]I read carefully through the descriptions, 我仔細(xì)地閱讀這些描述， [01:01.98]looking for anything that sounded familiar, let alone plausible. 尋找任何聽(tīng)著覺(jué)得熟悉的內(nèi)容，把那些說(shuō)得天花亂墜的部分丟到一邊。 [01:05.85]It seemed that most vampire myths centered around beautiful women as demons and children as victims; 似乎大多數(shù)的吸血鬼傳說(shuō)都圍繞著漂亮女人和小孩子展開(kāi)，前者通常是惡魔，后者通常是受害者。 [01:12.38]they also seemed like constructs created to explain away the high mortality rates for young children, 它們似乎都是被捏造出來(lái)用來(lái)解釋年幼的孩子居高不下的夭折率， [01:18.85]and to give men an excuse for infidelity. 或是給男人一個(gè)放縱的借口。 [01:21.91]Many of the stories involved bodiless spirits and warnings against improper burials. 許多故事包括了無(wú)形體的靈魂以及對(duì)不合乎禮法的葬禮的警告。 [01:27.08]There wasn't much that sounded like the movies I'd seen, 沒(méi)有多少聽(tīng)起來(lái)像是我看過(guò)的電影的內(nèi)容， [01:30.36]and only a very few, like the Hebrew Estrie and the Polish Upier, 只有一小部分，像是希伯來(lái)的艾斯提瑞和波蘭的烏皮爾， [01:35.55]who were even preoccupied with drinking blood. 是一心吸血的吸血鬼。
