麦田怪圈不是我们干的。请用心想想吧。我们以你们认为不可能实现的速度飞行于群星间——可你们还认为我们需要为了联络用途而压下麦秆？你们为什么还总是以为我们会在荒郊僻野着陆？ 我们被你们的媒体所描绘的外星人形象弄得心烦意乱。当你们有心情思考时，就好好地看看你们对地球犯下的罪孽。你们正在毁掉这颗星球：把自然资源消耗殆尽，污染空气，毁掉大海，将许多独特的物种永久地灭绝。你们怎么可能指望在即将来临的星际经济时代幸免于难？ First off, allow us to apologize for theabductions（绑架，劫持）. Although it seemed like a good idea at the time, we recognize that too often you did not find the experience as satisfying as we did. We genuinely regret the way things got out of hand. It started out as just something to do, an occasional way to blow offsteam（发脾气，减压）after a long day of observation. We tried not to break anybody, and we always put you back where we found you. Frankly you aren't all that interesting, and we might soon have grown tired of the whole thing. But we got such a kick out of your cute eyewitness accounts, what with the stories of our big dark eyes and little arms and all. You made us feel special, even if your tales were complete crap. The books, the movies, the T-shirts—we were like celebrities. And some of you took it all so seriously, with your conspiracy theories and everything. It was really quite ahoot（叫嚣，嘲骂声）. |
