@ 40611 Abducted by Aliens
A 我告訴你們一個祕密。先說好了，你們一定要相信我。
wǒ gàosu nǐmen yī ge mìmì. xiān shuōhǎo le, nǐmen yīdìng yào xiāngxìn wǒ.
I'll tell you guys a secret. But first, you guys have got to believe me.
B 有什麼祕密你就快說吧。
yǒu shénme mìmì nǐ jiù kuài shuō ba.
If there's a secret just hurry up and tell us.
A 我被外星人綁架過。
wǒ bèi wàixīngrén bǎngjià guo.
I have been abducted by aliens.
C 啊？是夢吧？
ǎ? shì mèng ba?
Huh? A dream?
A 我說的是實話。這是好多年以前的事了。我本來不想說的，但憋在心裡太難受了。
wǒ shuō de shì shíhuà. zhè shì hǎo duō nián yǐqián de shì le. wǒ běnlái bù xiǎng shuō de, dàn biē zài xīnlǐ tài nánshòu le.
I'm telling the truth. This is something that happened many years ago. I didn't want to talk about it originally, but keeping it to myself is just too hard.
B 你是怎麼被綁架的？
nǐ shì zěnme bèi bǎngjià de?
How were you abducted?
A 我記得很清楚，當時我在讀高中，我們去鄉下學農。那天晚上我睡不著，就一個人去田邊散步。
wǒ jìde hěn qīngchu, dāngshí wǒ zài dú gāozhōng, wǒmen qù xiāngxià xuénóng. nàtiān wǎnshang wǒ shuì bu zháo, jiù yī ge rén qù tiánbiān sànbù.
I remember it very clearly. I was a high school student at the time, and we went to the countryside to study agriculture. That night I couldn't sleep, so I went for a walk in the fields by myself.
C 這明明就是科幻片的情節，怎麼會是你的故事？
zhè míngmíng jiùshì kēhuànpiàn de qíngjié, zénme huì shì nǐ de gùshi?
This is clearly straight out of a sci-fi movie. How could it be your story?
B 你別打斷他，讓他說完。
nǐ bié dǎduàn tā, ràng tā shuōwán.
Don't interrupt him. Let him finish.
A 就是，還是你瞭解我。我在散步的時候，突然，有一片白色的亮光，非常刺眼，我什麼也看不見。等我睜開眼睛，一艘飛碟停在了眼前。
jiùshì, háishi nǐ liǎojiě wǒ. wǒ zài sànbù de shíhou, tūrán, yǒu yīpiàn báisè de liàngguāng, fēicháng cìyǎn, wǒ shénme yě kànbujiàn. děng wǒ zhēngkāi yǎnjing, yī sōu fēidié tíng zài le yǎnqián.
Yeah, at least you understand. While I was walking, suddenly a blinding white light was before me, and I couldn't see anything. When I opened my eyes, there was a flying saucer in front of me.
B 真的？大嗎？是和我們想象中的一樣？
zhēnde? dà ma? shì hé wǒmen xiǎngxiàng zhōng de yīyàng?
Really? Was it big? Was it like we imagine them to be?
A 差不多就是那個樣子。圓圓的、扁扁的，上面突出來。對了，飛碟是粉紅色的。
chàbuduō jiùshì nàge yàngzi. yuányuán de, biǎnbiǎn de, shàngmian tū chūlai. duì le, fēidié shì fěnhóngsè de.
Pretty much like that. Round and flat, with a protrusion on top. Oh, and by the way, the flying saucer was pink.
C 是女外星人？
shì nǚ wàixīngrén?
They were girl aliens?
A 拜託，外星人不分男女的。當時，飛碟裡下來兩個外星人，他們拉著我的手，要把我帶到飛碟上去。我嚇呆了，只知道跟著走。
bàituō, wàixīngrén bùfēn nánnǚ de. dāngshí, fēidié lǐ xiàlai liǎng ge wàixīngrén, tāmen lā zhe wǒ de shǒu, yào bǎ wǒ dàidào fēidié shàngqu. wǒ xiàdāi le, zhǐ zhīdào gēn zhe zǒu.
Please, aliens aren't male and female. Then, from out of the flying saucer came two aliens. They took my hands and wanted to take me into the flying saucer. I was scared out of my mind, and all I could do was follow them.
B 外星人到底長什麼樣？奇怪嗎？
wàixīngrén dàodǐ zhǎng shénmeyàng? qíguài ma?
So what do aliens really look like? Weird?
A 比電影裡的漂亮，眼睛沒有那麼大。個子和我差不多。
bǐ diànyǐng lǐ de piàoliang, yǎnjing méiyǒu nàme dà. gèzi hé wǒ chàbuduō.
They were prettier than in the movies, and their eyes weren't that big. They were about as tall as me.
C 他們說什麼語言？你聽得懂嗎？
tāmen shuō shénme yǔyán? nǐ tīngdedǒng ma?
What language did they speak? Could you understand it?
A 他們一句話也沒說，我也不敢問。進了飛碟，裡面的裝飾很簡單。外星人讓我坐下，還讓我喝水。接著，他們就用各種各樣的儀器給我做檢查。
tāmen yī jù huà yě méi shuō, wǒ yě bùgǎn wèn. jìn le fēidié, lǐmiàn de zhuāngshì hěn jiǎndān. wàixīngrén ràng wǒ zuòxia, hái ràng wǒ hēshuǐ. jiēzhe, tāmen jiù yòng gèzhǒnggèyàng de yíqì gěi wǒ zuò jiǎnchá.
They didn't say a word, and I didn't dare ask. We went into the flying saucer, and the inside was decorated simply. The aliens made me sit, then made me drink some water. Next, they used all kinds of instruments to inspect me.
B 跟在醫院裡檢查身體一樣？
gēn zài yīyuàn lǐ jiǎnchá shēntǐ yīyàng?
Like a physical at the hospital?
A 不是，他們用的儀器我們地球人都沒有。他們對我的長相很感興趣，一直摸我的臉。
bù shì, tāmen yòng de yíqì wǒmen dìqiúrén dōu méiyǒu. tāmen duì wǒ de zhǎngxiàng hěn gǎn xìngqù, yīzhí mō wǒ de liǎn.
No, they used instruments that we Earthlings don't have. They were really interested in my appearance, and kept touching my face.
C 外星人不會是愛上你了吧？他們怎麼沒把你帶走呢？
wàixīngrén bùhuì shì àishàng nǐ le ba? tāmen zěnme méi bǎ nǐ dàizǒu ne?
Don't tell me the aliens fell in love with you! Why didn't they take you away with them?
B 是啊。你長得這麼帥，應該到外星球上給咱們地球人做宣傳。
shì a. nǐ zhǎng de zhème shuài, yīnggāi dào wàixīngqiú shang gěi zánmen dìqiúrén zuò xuānchuán.
Yeah, you're so good-looking, you should go to the alien planet and promote Earth for us.
A 搞了半天，你們兩個還是不相信我。我把我人生中最重要的祕密告訴你們，你們卻在笑我。算了，我後面還有更精彩的故事呢，但是你們也別想聽了。
gǎo le bàntiān, nǐmen liǎng ge háishi bù xiāngxìn wǒ. wǒ bǎ wǒ rénshēng zhōng zuì zhòngyào de mìmì gàosu nǐmen, nǐmen què zài xiào wǒ. suàn le, wǒ hòumian hái yǒu gèng jīngcǎi de gùshi ne, dànshì nǐmen yě bié xiǎng tīng le.
After all this, you two still don't believe me. I've told you the most important secret of my life, but you're laughing at me. Forget it! I have even better stories too, but don't even think about getting to hear them.
C 不聽也知道。
bù tīng yě zhīdào.
Oh, we can guess them.
