Google街景照片中惊现神秘"马面人"

2010-06-25来源:和谐英语

What Russell Moffatt saw on Google StreetView made him question whether he also needed to get his eyes tested.
Russell Moffatt在谷歌街景图上看到了令人瞠目结舌的一幕,他甚至怀疑自己的眼睛出了毛病。

The bizarre sight, dubbed 'Horseboy', has become an unlikely internet sensation after being snapped by one of Google's cars on an otherwise unremarkable Aberdeen street.
谷歌街景车拍到的这个“马面男孩”已经成为网上一大热门事件。

Now, the search is on to unmask the mystery prankster.
现在人们正试图找出神秘马面人到底是谁。

Closer observation of the website reveals that the joker can be seen from further down the street pulling on the realistic-looking horse's head.
在这张照片中,仔细观察的话会发现马面男孩其实是戴了一个很逼真的面具。

But he is so far away from the camera that his face cannot be seen.
但是他离摄像机太远了,面部还是看不清楚。

Two years ago in Australia, a man who fell asleep in a drunken stupor on the grass outside his home was horrified to find his embarrassment posted on the internet.
两年前,一个在家门前的草地上醉倒的男人被谷歌街景车拍到,照片被传到了网上。

The man, who has only ever been identified as 'Bill', had been drowning his sorrows over the death of a friend and collapsed after climbing out of a taxi.
这位被称为Bill的男子因为朋友的死而借酒消愁,在回到家的时候支撑不住,所以倒在门口。

As he slept off his excesses, a Google StreetView camera passed by to record the street for its website. Google have since removed the image.
他睡得不省人事的时候,谷歌街景车正好经过,所以拍了下来。现在谷歌已经撤下了这张照片。

Horseboy, by contrast, seems to have been totally aware that he was being filmed.
不过这个马面男孩像是知道自己会被拍到一样,看来是有意为之的恶作剧。
