美国大脚怪：人、神话还是怪物（2025）

而不是指向猿类的方向。
versus pointing in
the direction of an ape.
[戴夫]
我从事大脚怪研究的时间越长，
[Dave] The longer I've been
in the Bigfoot research world,
我就越看到它从一个
单纯的民间传说话题
I've seen it transition
from just a folklore topic
变成了一种被认真对待的事物，
to something that's
taken seriously
投入了更多技术，提供了更多资源，
with more technology applied,
more resources given,
吸引了更多高智商、思想开放的人士
and more highly intelligent,
open-minded people
投身于这一领域，运用他们的技能
related to the arena that
are applying their skills
来揭示真♥相♥。
to exposing the truth.
我得说，这个话题已经走得很远了。
I will say that the subject
has come a long way.
不再像以前那样——不再被公开嘲笑。
There is not as--
The open ridicule anymore.
我的意思是，当你走进一家礼品店，
I mean, when you go
into a gift shop
到处都是大脚怪的小玩意儿，
and there's Bigfoot
tchotchkes all over the place,
每个人都穿着大脚怪T恤，
everybody's wearing
a Bigfoot t-shirt,
他们还在开大会，
and they're having conferences,
这个话题不再像几十年前那样受到同样
的嘲讽和轻蔑。
the object is not met
with the same derision
大脚怪是真实的，绝对真实。
and scorn that it was just
a couple of decades ago.
我的意思是，它和你我一样真实。
Bigfoot is real,
definitely real.
[戴夫] 经过这么多年追寻证据，
I mean, as physical as you and me.
从DNA样本到目击者证词，
[Dave] After all the years I've
spent chasing the evidence,
from DNA samples to
eyewitness accounts,
物理痕迹指向无法解释的事件，
physical traces to
unexplainable events,
我不得不转变我的思维。
I've had to evolve my thinking.
我们曾经低声细语的想法
The ideas that we
were once whispering
现在正被非常公开地讨论，
are now being
discussed very openly,
同样适用于不明飞行物（
UFO）这件事。
and same with the UFO thing.
就在你以为世界已经不再关注不明飞行
物（
UFO）时，
Just when you thought
the world was done with UFOs,
政♥府♥自己却说：
the government themselves say,
“哦，是的，我们早就知道了！”
"Oh, yeah, we've
known it all along!"
这就像在说：“好吧，你们这些骗子。”
It's like, "Well, you liars."
[笑声]
[laughs]
但追究责任毫无意义。
But there's no point
in recrimination.
你只能说：“嗯，谢谢。”
You just have to say,
"Well, thanks."
[戴夫] 我不再相信我们面对的是
[Dave] I no longer believe
we're dealing with
仅仅是一种躲藏在树林里的古老类人生
物。
just a relic hominid
hiding in the woods.
这些模式太一致了，
The patterns are too consistent,
行为表现得过于聪明，
the behavior's too intelligent
经历也太过离奇。
and experiences are too strange.
[吉姆] 走进树林吧。
[Jim] Get out in the woods.
我的意思是，你必须亲临现场，
I mean, you've got to have
boots on the ground,
花时间待在树林里，晚上过夜，
time in the woods,
at night, overnight,
连续多晚，才能开始有遭遇，
multiple nights, to begin
to have encounters
这样你才能开始理解它们是什么样的。
that you can then begin to
understand what they're like.
我想对普通大众说的一点是，
One thing that I would say
to the general public
关于大脚怪，它们有一颗巨大的心。
about the Sasquatch, it's
that they have huge hearts.
它们心中充满爱。
They have love in their hearts.
它们关心自己的家人。
They care about their families.
它们关心那些走进森林的人。
They care about the people
that come into the forest.
我认为地球很重要，
I think the Earth is important,
而且我认为大脚怪也关心这一点。
and I think Bigfoot's
concerned about that.
整个地球——
只要不小心按错了一个按钮，
The whole Earth is-- One button
pushed on the wrong button
就会毁灭我们所有人。
is going to destroy us all.
而且我认为这种情况以前发生过。
And I think this
has happened before.
而且我认为时机越来越近了，
And I think the time
is getting closer
更多的外星人会现身，
更多的不明飞行物（UFO）会被看到，
for more aliens to show up,
more UFOs to be seen,
更多的大脚怪会露面。
more Bigfoots to come out.
[戴夫] 我开始相信大脚怪可能是
[Dave] I've come to believe
that Bigfoot may be
某种人类杂交种，可能拥有超能力，
some kind of human hybrid,
possibly with abilities
这些能力超出了我们目前对科学的理解。
that defy our current
understanding of science.
甚至可能是超自然现象。
Maybe even paranormal.
[斯科特·C]
我认为任何做过研究的人，
[Scott C] I think anybody
that's been doing research
超过一年左右的研究，
for more than a year or so,
都会遇到超自然现象。
it's going to run
into the paranormal.
如果你仔细观察证据并追踪下去，
And if you look at
the evidence and you follow it,
它会把你引向超自然的道路。
it's going to take you down
that paranormal route.
而许多人并不想走这条路。
And many people
don't want to go there.
[诡异的音乐响起]
[eerie music playing]
[戴夫] 这不是一个简单的结论，
[Dave] It's not
an easy conclusion,
也不是我能轻易得出的结论。
and it's not one
that I came to lightly.
我越听研究人员的讲述，
The more I listen
to the researchers,
目击者和原住民的声音，
the witnesses and
the indigenous voices,
越清晰，就越明白。
the clearer it becomes.
我希望大脚怪研究的未来会走向何方
Where I hope the future
of Bigfoot research is going
是我们开始跳出传统框架思考，
is that we start to think
outside conventional boxes,
因为我认为必须找到一条积极的出路。
because I think there has
to be a positive way forward.
我们必须意识到，这是一只
We have to consider that this is
极其罕见、聪明
an extremely unusual,
intelligent
且难以捉摸的生物。
and evasive creature.
为了找到我们所需要的答案
And in order to find
the answers that we need
或者想要找到的答案，
我们必须打破固有思维模式。
or want to find, we have
to break out of that mold.
我认为给那些有过经历的人
I think giving people
that have had experiences
或目击者，类似这样的事情，
or eyewitnesses,
things like that,
让他们感到自己并不孤单
giving them a sense
that they're not alone
他们很正常，并不是疯子或怪人，
and that they're normal and
they're not crazy or weird,
如果能做到这一点，
I think if we can do that
如果我们能让人们感觉更好、更自在，
and we can make people
feel better and comfortable,
我认为这是迈出的一大步。
I think that's a big step.
[戴夫] 我们必须不断提问。
[Dave] We have to keep
asking questions.
我们必须保持开放的心态
We have to keep an open mind
如果我们真的想弄清楚大脚怪到底是什
么。
if we truly want to
figure out what Bigfoot is.
无论得出什么结论，
And whatever that conclusion is,
它可能会把我们带到一
个让我们不安的地方
it may take us to a place
that makes us uneasy
而且可能很难理解。
and it may be tough to understand.
