The most popular would have to be the Sasquatch AKA Big foot. At least that’s what we call him in North America.
最受欢迎的是大脚 AKA 。至少当时在北美地区是这样的。
The native Americans spoke 3 of him and even added him onto their totem poles along side animals we KNOW are real like bears and eagles. And native american legend is full of mythical 4 creatures so why would they choose ONLY big foot to add next to real creatures rather than others? Because to them, he was just as real.
当地美国人说到他的时候，甚至会将他列入到图腾柱沿侧动物，其他的图案我们知道一般是熊和鹰。美国原住民的传说充满了神秘生物，所以为什么他们会选择大脚到图腾，而不是其他？因为对他们来说，他可能比较真实。
Monks 5 of the Himalayas actually claimed to have a finger of the yeti. It took a lot to coax 6 the monks into allowing them to take a single finger so they could do tests on it. It was then smuggled 7 out of the country to be taken back to America but it mysteriously disappeared. Almost as if someone didn’t want the information to be found out.
喜马拉雅山的修道士们声称看到雪人的手指了。用了很久，僧侣们才允许他们采个手指做测试。后来这个手指头被走私到国外，被带回美国，但后来它神秘地消失了，就好像有人不想要这个消息被发现。
You know, some people say that the dàjiǎo guài and yeti is the missing link - the animal that shows the transition from ape to man. If that’s the case, the theory of evolution jìn huà lùn would cease to be a theory, it would be fact.
有些人说大脚怪和雪人是缺失的一环——从猿到人的过渡这一环的动物。如果是这样，进化论就不是一种理论，是事实。
After l looking at the pictures of this guy, I’d say he has some form of microcephaly. I watched a very old movie about sideshow freaks and in the movie they present “pinhead”. The head shapes look very similar. The brain doesn’t develop properly which causes the person to have a child like mind capacity.
我看这人的照片，我觉得他有某种形式的头小畸形症。我看过一部很老的关于杂耍怪胎的电影，在电影中他们把这类人叫做"针头"。因为头的形状看起来非常像。大脑没有正常发育，所以心智就像小孩子一样。
