納瓦伙族人給月球的訊息
Navajo Message For The Moon
納瓦伙族人給月球的訊息When NASA was preparing for the Apollo Project, it took the astronauts to a Navajo reservation in Arizona for training. One day, a Navajo elder and his son came across the space crew, who were walking among the rocks.在美國國家航天局準備阿波羅航天計劃時，他們讓宇航員們去亞利桑那州納瓦伙族保留區進行訓練。某天，一位納瓦伙族老人和他兒子遇見正在巖石間穿行的航空工作人員。The elder, who spoke only Navajo, asked a question. His son translated for the NASA people:
老人問了航天局人員一個問題，但他只會說納瓦伙族語，兒子幫他進行了翻譯："What are these guys in the big suits doing?"
“這些穿著厚重衣服的家伙在干嘛？”One of the astronauts said they were practicing for a trip to the moon. When his son relayed this comment, the Navajo elder got all excited and asked if it would be possible to give the astronauts a message to deliver to the moon.
一個宇航員說他們正為去月球進行訓練。當兒子傳達給老人后，老人非常興奮地問道能否請宇航員們為他向月球傳遞一條訊息。A NASA official said, "Why certainly!" and told an underling to get a tape recorder. The Navajo elder's comments were brief. The NASA official asked the son if he would translate what his father had said. But he refused.
航天局官員回答：“當然可以啦！”并吩咐下屬拿來錄音機。老人的留言非常簡短，航天局官員問老人的兒子可否告訴他們老人說了什么，但他拒絕了。Finally, an official government translator was summoned. The translator relayed the message:
最后，他們請來了一位政府翻譯員，他轉述道："Watch out for these fellows! They have come to steal your land."
“小心這些家伙！他們來搶你們的領土了。”
