Urban Legends

Have you read all these crazy things that are going on around the world?

你听说过世界上发生的那些疯狂事了吗？

What do you mean?

你是什么意思？

I was reading about how some people get tricked or drugged in their hotel rooms and have their organs removed! Then they are sold on the black market.

我看到有人说，有人在酒店房间里被下药或骗去，然后器官被摘除！这些器官还在黑市上卖掉。

Don’t tell me you actually believe all that? Don’t be so gullible, they are just urban legends. They are just stories people make up to scare you.

别告诉我你真的信这些？别这么容易上当，都是都市传说。就是别人编出来吓你的故事。

Well, I was also reading about how some popular songs have subliminal or even satanic messages if you play them backwards! Can you believe that?

嗯，我还看到，有些流行歌倒着放会有潜意识的甚至恶魔的信息！你敢信吗？

You really think an artist or songwriter is going to go through the trouble of putting subliminal or satanic messages in a song? Don’t be so naive!

你真以为歌手或词曲作者会费劲在歌里加那种潜意识或恶魔的信息？别这么天真！

Well maybe you are right, but how about the story of how KFC has rows of headless chickens which are super grown in order to get bigger chickens faster!

好吧，也许你说得对，但肯德基那些无头鸡的故事呢？说它们被超速培育，为了更快得到更大的鸡！

Sounds a bit too far fetched to be true don’t you think?

听起来有点太离谱了，你不觉得吗？
