ReferenceTranslation

今日城市传说

城市传说指被普遍认为真实的不确定或离奇故事。由于和正

常的日常活动相关，它们通常有些可信度，但同时它们经常出人

意料，甚至骇人听闻。因特网的出现使得城市传说比以往流传得

更迅速、范围更广。

一则非常有名但未经证实的城市传说是关于“香水强盗

”的。据传，罪犯通过假装卖香水来接近人们。当受害者凑身去

看或闻香水时，强盗向他们脸上喷某些东西，将他们打晕，并在

这段时间里实施抢劫。

人们相信这则传说始于1999年，当时美国阿拉巴马州的一位

妇女把一份警方报告登记在案。报告中称这位妇女声称被一个卖

香水的妇女接近。她说她记得的第二件事是感觉有东西被喷到脸

上，然后在一处停车场苏醒过来，这时钱包已不翼而飞。然而，

由于香水没有留下任何物证，因此警方无法确认事实，捉拿强

盗。警方最终结案，在文件标上“无法解决”的字样。但是，其

他人也报告过类似的故事，大部分人仍然相信香水强盗确实存

在。

另一则城市传说是“俳句错误信息”。据传，日本软件公司

的程序员用俳句一-传统的三行日本诗一-代替标准的计算机

错误信息。例如，当无法找到一份文件时，下面的“俳句”会出

现在屏幕上：

已被删除

你正寻找的文件

现在必须重新输入

这些俳句错误信息结果是美国电脑黑客制造的玩笑，他们在

计算机上捉弄别人。然而，这一传说已演变，的确存在一些日本

“诗人-程序员”，而且许多人相信这一点。黑客们一定感到非常

可笑。
