追缉：炸弹客

Manhunt: Unabomber S01E03

Part 4 May 3, 2020, 10:27 a.m.

有了文字处理软件一切都变了
The word processor changed everything.
而这篇论文还保持着老式毕业论文的风格
This is in the style of an older graduate thesis paper.
我注意到这类问题
I noticed these kind of things,
这种风格的尾注只在1972年之前使用
and this style of end notes was only used before 1972-ish
之后就改成了脚注
when they changed to footnotes.
那修正页呢
The corrections page?
1967年之前叫做"勘误表"
It was called "Errata" before 1967.
也就是说这种论文版式
Meaning he learned the formatting
是他在1967至1972年掌握的
between '67 and '72.
不止
More than that.
只有博士候选人才用这种
Only PhD candidates use this style.
所以如果二十年后他还在用这种版式
So if he's still using this format 20 years later...
他肯定写过博士学位论文
He must have written a dissertation.
在1967至1972年
He must have written a dissertation
-他肯定写过博士学位论文 -写过论文
- between '67 and '72. - And '72.
太好了
Very nice.
比较语言学
Comparative linguistics,
并不像校航袭击者想的那样没用
not as useless as the Unabomber thinks.
你有空吗
Do you have a minute?
照规矩是不该给你看但是
Technically, you're not supposed to see this, but...
我们一直在分♥析♥这份宣言的用语
We've been analyzing the language of the manifesto,
变体拼写
关键概念
想找到他身份的线索
looking for clues as to who he is.
更老聪明曾被航♥空♥公♥司♥雇佣
我们一直在找错误
We've been looking for mistakes
我们的理论是
on the theory that,
比如我会说"税"...
well, like, I say "Wudder" and...
个人习语
Idiolect.
指某特定个人的语言模式
It's what we call the speech patterns of one specific person.
个人习语个人习语没错
Idiolect. Idiolect, right.
就像语言学意义上的指纹
It's like a linguistic fingerprint.
借此可以搞清楚他是谁
I mean, we'll work out who he is by...
通过分♥析♥他怎样说话没错
Based on how he speaks. Yes.
所以你们才在找错误
So you've been looking for mistakes.
没错
Right.
发现了这些
We found these...
-但不是错误 -但不是错误
- ...except they're not mistakes. - Except they aren't mistakes.
没错它们是变体拼写
That's right. They're variant spellings.
变体拼写
虽不常见但其实是正确的
They're unusual, but they're technically correct.
前后一致吗
And is he consistent?
他每次都用相同的拼写吗
He uses the same spellings every time?
是的不管信件还是宣言
Yeah, letters, manifesto
都是同一种不常见的拼写
it's the same unusual spelling.
真是外行啊
Is this totally amateur?
我这么做...没错吧
Like, am I-- am I doing all right?
-对吗 -开玩笑呢
- Am I? - Are you kidding?
这属于学科前沿了
This is cutting-edge.
用语言来破案
Using language to solve crimes?
你做的这些事甚至都还没人命名呢
There's not even a name for what you're doing.
所以如果他的拼写前后一致
So if he's consistent,
这表明有写作标准
that suggests a style guide,
他从某个地方学到了这种拼写方式
You know, somewhere where he learned to spell this way,
比如报纸杂♥志♥
a newspaper, magazine,
那里编辑们要求的写作标准
somewhere that had a style guide for their editors
正是这样的拼写
that matches these spellings.
分♥析♥ 听熟练实现
如果能找到这一写作标准
And if we can find that style guide...
就能了解他的个人习语
We're closer to finding his idiolect.
如果了解他的个人习语
And if we can find his idiolect...
就能找到校航袭击者
Then we find the unabomber.
没错
Yes.
《风格的要素》
不行
No.
就这些
That's it?
这是伯克利的
This is Berkeley.
旧式写作标准的章节非常少
The obsolete style guide sections are pretty thin.
如果你想的话
I could start hitting the local public libraries
我可以去马林县当地图书馆看看
in Marin County today if you want to.
先看这些吧
Just keep reading.
这太疯狂了
This is crazy, man.
大海捞针找一些拼写错误
Needle in a haystack for what, a few spelling mistakes?
不是错误是个人习语
It's not mistakes. It's idiolect.
谁
Who is that?
阿克曼而已
It's just Ackerman.
他要我们去汇报进度
He wants us to brief him,
可我们压根没什么可汇报
but we got nothing to present.
不用理会
He'll be fine.
-喂 -行吧
- Hello? - Okay.
告诉他我马上到
Just tell him I'm on my way.
哥们是个女人找你
Dude, it's some woman for you.
我找到了
I found it.
《芝加哥论♥坛♥报》
The Chicago Tribune,
这是他们的内部格式标准
It's their in-house style guide.
出版商罗伯特·麦克米克
Their publisher, Robert McCormick,
极力支持
was this big proponent
这项边缘的简拼运动
of this fringe simplified spelling movement.
1949年他将此强加给手下编辑
In 1949, he forced it on his editors.
1954年他去世之后
In 1954 when he died,
编辑们又重新使用标准拼写
they switched back to standard spelling.
-是S不是Z -对
- "Analyse." - Yeah.
少一个L
"Wilfuly."
是C不是S
"Licence."
少了个L
Instalment with one l,
他在第十一起爆♥炸♥中用过
he uses that in u-11.
就是这个能给我吗
This is it. Can I keep this?
当然
Yes.
谢谢你
Thank you.
-菲茨 -怎么
- Fitz? - Yeah?
我们迟到了已经开始了
We're late. It started.
1500万名男性
2500名男性
所以在1500万的初始嫌疑人数据库里
So from that initial subject pool of 15 million,
我们在MPP中添加了额外参数进行筛选
we put additional parameters on the M.P.P.,
将范围缩小至2500
which narrowed it to 2,500.
我们将其称为三♥级♥嫌疑人组
We're calling that our tier 3 subject group.

其中一人有极大可能
High level of confidence
就是我们要找的袭击者
that one of these guys is our man.
他们要么受政♥府♥监控
They're all under active surveillance,
要么在逃
or they're at large
正被特别行动组追捕
being sought by special operations group.
非常好
Excellent.
菲茨你从那些
Fitz, have you got anything
能带来转机的古怪教授那里

得到什么线索了吗
that can move the needle?
确实得到了
Actually, yes.
我们有可靠的语言学证据证明
We have solid linguistic evidence
他在芝加哥长大
that he grew up in Chicago
他的拼写和语法
and that he learned his spelling and grammar
是在《芝加哥论♥坛♥报》上学的
from The Chicago Tribune.
有多可靠
And how solid is this?
