People who claim to have seen Bigfoot do not agree about what he or she looks like, but they do agree that Bigfoot stays away from human beings. As soon as people enter the forest, Bigfoot hides from view. Scientists do not know whether Bigfoot really exists. Some scientists think people have fabricated these stories to amuse or to trick their friends, but other scientists feel these accounts are quite true.
聲稱(chēng)看到過(guò)大腳印的人對(duì)他或她的長(zhǎng)相意見(jiàn)不一，不過(guò)一致同意大腳印躲著人類(lèi)。一旦人們進(jìn)入樹(shù)林，大腳印就從人們的視線消失?？茖W(xué)家們不確定大腳印是否真的存在。一些科學(xué)家認(rèn)為人們編造這些故事來(lái)逗朋友樂(lè)或是跟朋友開(kāi)玩笑，可其它科學(xué)家感到這些記錄相當(dāng)真實(shí)。
For more than a hundred years people have reported seeing a large creature in the forest of the Northwestern United States. Footprints have been found which might have come from a man-like ape about 7 or 8 feet tall. The footprints are sixteen inches long. They are so large that people have come to call this creature by the name “Bigfoot.”
一百多年來(lái)，人們不斷地報(bào)告在美國(guó)西北的森林中看到了巨大的動(dòng)物。被發(fā)現(xiàn)的腳印可能來(lái)自一個(gè)七八尺高的類(lèi)人猿。腳印有十六英寸長(zhǎng)。腳印是那么的大，所以人們把這動(dòng)物叫做“大腳印” 。
Fortune has often been blamed for her blindness; but fortune is not so blind as men are. Those who look into practical life will find that fortune is usually on the side of the industrious, as the winds and waves are on the side of the best navigators. The commoner qualities are the most useful--such as common sense, attention, application, and perseverance.
人們經(jīng)常指責(zé)運(yùn)氣是盲目的;但是運(yùn)氣并不像人那樣盲目。那些觀察實(shí)際生活的人會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)運(yùn)氣通常支持勤勞的人，正如風(fēng)浪支持秀的航海家一樣。較普通的素質(zhì)是最有用的——諸如常識(shí)、專(zhuān)心、勤奮和鍥而不舍。
