英国水怪现真身 皮肤黝黑形似大蛇

The legend of 'Bownessie' is echoing across the waters of Lake Windermere once again after what is being called the best ever sighting of the mythical sea creature. Emerging from the mist with oily black skin and three eerie humps, this picture reveals a mystical looking beast gliding through the lake.

如果我们还沉浸在电影《尼斯湖水怪》中，爱上了那个与人类成为好朋友的水怪的话。那么最近在英国发现的“水怪”还真是“真真切切”地步入人们的视线中了。过去5年来，英国最大的湖“温德米尔湖”中发生了至少7起“水怪目击事件”。据目击者描述，这只怪兽体型巨大，和著名的“尼斯湖水怪”一样长着长长的蛇颈，只是看起来稍有些驼背，因此被戏称为“鞠躬的尼斯”。在视频中，这个被誉为“鞠躬的尼斯”的水怪似乎有着黑糊糊的油状皮肤、还有3个“山丘样子”的背部肌肉，视频显示，这个水怪正在蒙蒙薄雾中在湖中畅游。

The snap was taken on a camera-phone by terrified IT graduate Tom Pickles, 24, who said an animal the size of three cars sped across the lake in front him last Friday. 'It was petrifying and we paddled back to the shore straight away,' he said. 'At first I thought it was a dog and then saw it was much bigger and moving really quickly at about 10 mph. Each hump was moving in a rippling motion and it was swimming fast.'

据悉，照片是24岁的小伙子Tom Pickles用视频手机拍摄的。据这位小伙子称，这只“鞠躬的尼斯”水怪身形有3辆车那么大，在他的勉强快速穿过，耗时整整20秒。小伙Tom Pickles说：“刚开始，我还以为是一只海狗还是什么的，但是，我发现，它比狗大多了，游的速度超级快，真的很快，可以达到每英里10小时！”

Mr Pickles's companion Sarah Harrington, 23, said: 'It was like an enormous snake. 'It freaked us all out but it wasn't until we saw the picture that we thought we'd seen something out of this world. 'I only saw it for a few seconds but all I could think about was that I had to get off the lake.' The pair - who both work for Shrewsbery based IT company CapGemini - were on the last day of a team building residential training course at Fallbarrow Hall, Bowness, Cumbria

他的同伴Sarah Harrington说：“这个水怪可以和电影尼斯湖水怪相媲美，简直是一条巨大的蛇，我们看到它的时候，都快被吓死了，但是还是不敢相信自己的眼睛！直到真正看到照片，我们才相信自己的的确确看到水怪了。”
