Can You Solve the Mystery of UVB-76?
Suddenly the piercing[刺耳的] buzzing[嗡嗡聲] noise that has continued for months stops. A cold voice takes over.“U-V-B-7-6” is read out in a thick Russian accent[口音], before listing a series of code words and numbers. Then, just as suddenly, it ends. The buzzing returns, for another few months.
That is what has greeted listeners of a mysterious[神秘的] radio station nicknamed “The Buzzer[蜂鳴器]”—And code named UVB-76, or more recently MDZhB—since the 1970s. The noise rings out on a frequency[頻率] of 4625 kHz, which anyone is able to listen in on[偷聽], including online at one of several live streams[直播流].
But what the Buzzer is doing, or who is broadcasting[廣播] it, remains a mystery. Some people suggest it is a station used by the military[軍隊], others suggest it may be a counter-attack[還擊] measure for nuclear war.
魚又有話說:俄羅斯這個呼號為“UVB-76”的短波無線電臺真心神秘。40年間,這個被稱為“蜂鳴器”的電臺24小時持續向外發送類似蜂鳴的“嗡嗡”聲。1997年的某一天,“嗡嗡”聲突然停止,一個冰冷的男聲響起,有著濃重俄羅斯口音的男聲說出“U-V-B-7-6”的呼號后,又播報了一系列數字和代碼,停頓之后,“嗡嗡”聲又響了起來。幾個月后,又再度播報,如此反復,近年來呼號改為“MDZhB”。關于“蜂鳴器”的相關信息,在很多網站和博客上都進行了熱烈的討論,無數無線電愛好者也被這個未解之謎深深地迷住了。但是至今沒有人知道設立電臺的目的是什么,是誰在播報信息以及播報的內容是什么。真的有夠神秘的,我仿佛聞到了“間諜、陰謀和大戰”的味道。
A Man Spends £300 to Treating Constipated[便秘的] Goldfish
A goldfish owner from Norfolk took his sick fish to Toll Barn Veterinary Centre in North Walsham, where vets told him it was constipated and an operation[手術] would cost about £300.
Vet Faye Bethell used anaesthetized[使麻醉] water to knock out[擊倒] the goldfish before removing the blockages. The operation, which took almost an hour, was performed by Miss Bethell, assisted[協助] by two nurses.
“The goldfish was constipated because he had a lump[腫塊] blocking his bottom, rather than because of his diet or any other reason,”Miss Bethell said. “Obviously, we discussed all the options [with its owner] and he made the decision to go for surgery[外科手術].”
Faye said the three inch fish made a full recovery after the 50-minute operation and it would have died if left untreated.
魚又有話說:對,你沒看錯。這就是一只因為便秘不得不花300英鎊(約合人民幣2828元)做通便手術的金魚(攤手)。這還不是一只神馬名貴的珍稀魚,而是那種隨隨便便在路邊幾塊錢一只,阿姨心情好的話賣你一塊錢一只,買得多了,五毛錢一只也行的——金魚!做這通便手術的獸醫表示,她還從未給金魚做過這樣的手術!手術很精細:麻醉、心率檢測、微型手術刀去除腫塊、特質膠水涂抹傷口、縫合。50分鐘后,金魚終于通體舒暢。對此,網友們紛紛吐槽:“我活得不如狗已經夠慘了,萬萬沒想到居然還不如……”“便秘的話往水里放點巴豆不就得了。
