譯:
在最近幾次露面后,中國東北吉林省長白的“天池怪物”又成了新聞。距當地的旅游辦公室主任孟凡迎介紹,最近有人看見怪物就在離湖邊十米的地方,怪物的顏色似乎是黑色的。他說:“大約有兩百多人從長白的西峰看見過怪物,他像海豹一樣躍出水面!北M管誰也沒有看清楚這神秘怪物的真面目,但當地一位攝影師薛俊林聲稱:怪物的頭看起像馬。
最近另有一次,一群戰(zhàn)士證實:他們看見湖的水面上有東西在游動。正在湖邊行走的戰(zhàn)士看見怪物游弋了大約兩分鐘。其中一名戰(zhàn)士說:“怪物的顏色淺綠帶黑,圓形的頭上有十厘米的角。”
又一次報道自李小和,當時他和家人正在湖邊游玩。他說他看見原形黑色的東西在湖邊快速游過三四百米后潛入水中。十分鐘后,怪物再次出現(xiàn),并出現(xiàn)了相同的動作。李小和先生說他和家人看清楚了怪物,因為當時天氣好,湖水平靜。
自上世紀初以,一直就有關于天池怪物的報道,盡管還不曾有人近距離目睹過。雖然拍有怪物的一些照片,但由于距離太遠,看起模糊不清。許多人認為,天池里的怪物或許是蘇格蘭尼斯湖中怪物的遠親。他們還認為,在世界其他地方的湖泊中可能也有類似的怪物。然而,科學家們表示懷疑。他們說,溫度低的湖中不可能存活如此大的生物。
天池是世界上最高的火湖,海拔2,189米,面積有10平方公里,有的地方水深達370米。
