“外星人”英语怎么说
摘要：一中国农民李某，因“编造”谣言“扰乱公众秩序”，已被警方处以行政拘留五天。你知道怎么用英语表达吗?
Mr Li, a Chinese farmer, will spend five days in police custody after being charged with "fabrications" which "disturbed the public order".
It all began when he posted a blog entry, claiming to have confronted five aliens on the banks of China's Yellow River, and said that one of them had been killed by an electric fence set up to deter wild rabbits from his farm.
Li uploaded photos of the "dead alien" which he said he was keeping in his freezer, but he later admitted that he had made the creature from rubber, bone glue and wire in a ruse inspired by the Simon Pegg film "Paul".
一中国农民李某，因“编造”谣言“扰乱公众秩序”，已被警方处以行政拘留五天。
事情的起因是他在博客上发了一篇帖子，声称自己在黄河岸上遇到了五个外星人，其中有一个被自己设在农场上用来捕野兔子的电网电死了。
李某上传了几张照片，照片里是他藏在冷冻柜里的已被电死的外星人。但近日，他承认那些“外星人”都是他在受到西蒙·佩吉主演的电影《外星人保罗》启示后，自己用橡胶、骨胶和电线造出来骗人的诡计儿。
【讲解】
文中第二段的alien作为名词，即解释为“外星人”。alien还可以做形容词，意思是“陌生的”、“格格不入的”，常用结构为be alien to 与某物相抵触。alien的动词派生词为alienate，解释为“离间”，意思相近于estrange。
说到外星人，当然就会联想到UFO 不明飞行物。UFO是Unidentified Flying Object的缩写，也可以被称为是flying saucer(飞碟)。
文末提到的Simon Pegg是英国的著名演员，主演过《僵尸肖恩》(Shaun of the Dead)。《外星人保罗》(Paul)是他2011年主演的一部关于外星人和UFO的电影。
