人們如此痛恨海洋太陽魚,他們發(fā)布了這一令人捧腹的咆哮,并迅速傳播開來
The ocean sunfish or mola mola is doing its best to survive. However, Scout Burns made a now-viral Facebook post that said it shouldn’t even exist in the first place. In her rant, Burns explained why she believes the sunfish to be the world’s most useless creature, saying that, “God must have accidentally dropped while washing dishes one day and shrugged his shoulders at because no one could have imagined this would happen.”
太陽魚或翻車魚正在盡最大努力生存。然而,斯科特·伯恩斯(Scout Burns)在Facebook上發(fā)布了一條現(xiàn)在廣為流傳的帖子,稱它根本就不應該存在。在她的咆哮中,伯恩斯解釋了為什么她認為太陽魚是世界上最沒用的生物,她說:“上帝一定是在某一天洗碗的時候不小心掉了一地,然后聳聳肩,因為沒有人能想象會發(fā)生這樣的事情。”

As VICE pointed out, it’s understandable why someone would think so little of the sunfish. The mola mola has many nicknames — schwimmender kopf (“swimming head”) in German, putol (“cut short”) in the Philippines, and “toppled car fish” in Taiwan—belie its absurd reputation — and they’re not doing it any good, too. That last one is an especially accurate insult, since the mola mola grows to roughly the size and shape of a trash-compacted car.
正如VICE指出的那樣,有些人對太陽魚的評價如此之低是可以理解的。翻車魚有很多綽號——德語叫“游泳頭”,菲律賓叫“縮短”,臺灣叫“翻車魚”——這與它荒謬的名聲不相稱——它們也沒起什么作用。最后一個詞是一種特別準確的侮辱,因為翻車魚長到和垃圾車差不多大小和形狀。

To explain this amusing text, Bored Panda contacted Andy Lister, a marine biologist from Lincolnshire, UK. Lister called the rant “fantastic” for its artistry, “It’s well thought through for the most part, but largely flawed.”
為了解釋這段有趣的文字,Bored Panda聯(lián)系了來自英國林肯郡的海洋生物學家安迪·李斯特。李斯特稱這段視頻的藝術性“非常棒”,“大部分都是經(jīng)過深思熟慮的,但很大程度上是有缺陷的。”
“A lot of what Scout posted is accurate but her viewpoint on it all is somewhat biased against them,” the scientist said.”[But] apart from the fact that sunfish are decently powerful swimmers using those massive fins, it isn’t far off the mark at all.”
這位科學家說:“斯庫特貼出的很多東西都是正確的,但她對這些東西的看法多少有些偏見。”“(但是)除了利用這些巨大的魚鰭,太陽魚是相當有力量的游泳者這一事實外,它其實一點也不離譜。”

According to Lister, the sunfish is actually pretty well suited to survive. “Jellyfish aren’t exactly motorized so it can eat its way through them pretty well. Coming to the surface to be cleaned by birds is actually pretty smart. Similar idea to the Rhinos and Oxpeckers. As much as they can get to 5,000 pounds too, it is very unlikely that will happen now. Similar to saying Humans can reach over 7 feet tall,” he explained.
根據(jù)李斯特的說法,太陽魚實際上非常適合生存。“水母并不是完全機動化的,所以它可以很好地穿過它們。來到地表被鳥類清潔其實是非常聰明的。類似于犀牛和牛椋鳥。盡管他們也能達到5000英鎊,但現(xiàn)在不太可能實現(xiàn)。類似于說人類可以達到7英尺多高,”他解釋道。
