　　課文譯文：

　　在最近幾次露面后，中國東北吉林省長白山的“天池怪物”又成了新聞。距當?shù)氐穆糜无k公室主任孟凡迎介紹，最近有人看見怪物就在離湖邊十米的地方，怪物的顏色似乎是黑色的。他說：“大約有兩百多人從長白山的西峰看見過怪物，他像海豹一樣躍出水面。”盡管誰也沒有看清楚這神秘怪物的真面目，但當?shù)匾晃粩z影師薛俊林聲稱：怪物的頭看起來像馬。

　　最近另有一次，一群戰(zhàn)士證實：他們看見湖的水面上有東西在游動。正在湖邊行走的戰(zhàn)士看見怪物游弋了大約兩分鐘。其中一名戰(zhàn)士說：“怪物的顏色淺綠帶黑，圓形的頭上有十厘米的角。”

　　又一次報道來自李小和，當時他和家人正在湖邊游玩。他說他看見原形黑色的東西在湖邊快速游過三四百米后潛入水中。十分鐘后，怪物再次出現(xiàn)，并出現(xiàn)了相同的動作。李小和先生說他和家人看清楚了怪物，因為當時天氣好，湖水平靜。

　　自上世紀初以來，一直就有關(guān)于天池怪物的報道，盡管還不曾有人近距離目睹過。雖然拍有怪物的一些照片，但由于距離太遠，看起來模糊不清。許多人認為，天池里的怪物或許是蘇格蘭尼斯湖中怪物的遠親。他們還認為，在世界其他地方的湖泊中可能也有類似的怪物。然而，科學家們表示懷疑。他們說，溫度低的湖中不可能存活如此大的生物。

　　天池是世界上最高的火山湖，海拔2，189米，面積有10平方公里，有的地方水深達370米。
