美人鱼又称为 美国政府称世上不存在美人鱼

美国政府称世上不存在美人鱼  

The United States government has assured its citizens that
much like zombies
mermaids probably do not exist
saying in an official post: "No evidence of aquatic humanoids has ever been found."
"Mermaids - those half-human
half-fish sirens of the sea - are legendary sea creatures
" read the online statement from the National Ocean Service (NOS).
The agency
charged with responding to natural hazards
received letters inquiring about the existence of the sea maidens after the Discovery Channel's Animal Pla neork broadcast "Mermaids: The Body Found" in May.
探索频道动物星球栏目五月份播出了《真实美人鱼：科学的假设》之后，负责应对自然灾害的国家海洋局便收到了数封询问美人鱼是否存在的来信。
The show "paints a wildly convincing picture of the existence of mermaids
what they may look like
and why they've stayed hidden... until now
" a Discovery Channel press release says.
Conversely
the US government declaration offered no conclusive proof to deny the existence of mermaids.
The statement es after another government agency
this time the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
declared there was no conclusive evidence for the existence of zombies.
The CDC had published instructional materials on how to survive a "zombie apocalypse
" in what the agency now calls "a tongue in cheek campaign to engage new audiences with messages of preparedness."
The campaign was followed by a series of cannibalistic attacks in North America.
In one such attack on May 26
a 31-year-old Miami man stripped naked and chewed off most of a homeless man's face.
The Twittersphere was suddenly alive with people talking about the real and present danger of a zombie apocalypse.
The CDC was quick to respond to allegations of corpses rising from the dead to eat the living.
"CDC does not know of a virus or condition that would reanimate the dead
" a government spokesperson wrote in an email to The Huffington Post.
While zombies would be a big problem
popular folklore holds that mermaids are relatively benign creatures.
But the NOS statement associated the finned friends with more threatening mythological beasts.
"Half-human creatures
called chimeras
also abound in mythology - in addition to mermaids
there were wise centaurs
wild satyrs
and frightful minotaurs
to name but a few
" it said.
