The Earth is flat, Trump is a Democrat … and other great conspiracy theories of 2016
分享到
英国脱欧、美国大选、政坛文艺界多位名流相继去世,2016年注定是不平凡的一年。而这些热闹喧嚣似乎成了网友们最好的开脑洞素材:霉霉成了撒旦信徒,古巴领导人卡斯特罗其实是加拿大总理特鲁多的父亲,希拉里开始组织儿童卖淫,最扯的是特朗普竟然成了民主党安插的间谍。来来来,一起围观本年度脑洞最大的十大阴谋论吧。以下说法,纯属捏造,如果属实,小编也是呵呵了~
If 2016 was the year facts didn't matter, when Oxford Dictionaries declared we went "post-truth", it makes sense that conspiracy theories flourished. These are some of the most outlandish (and, we feel fairly confident in saying, all untrue).
2016年,牛津字典宣布我们进入了"后真相"时代,如果今年是事实无关紧要的一年,那么阴谋论如此猖獗也就顺理成章了。以下是一些最荒诞的阴谋论(我们非常确信地说,这些都是假的)。
1. The Earth is flat
地球是平的
You might think that this one was put pretty conclusively to bed around 330BC, but it persists into 2016, championed by the radio-friendly rapper B.o.B.
你可能认为这个说法大约在公元前330年非常令人信服,但是在2016年仍有人坚信这一说法,为首的就是电台饶舌歌手B.o.B.。
The Atlanta musician resurrected the argument that the Earth may, in fact, be flat with a storm of tweets in January that seemed to lean heavily on the fact the horizon appears straight in photos ("where is the curve? please explain this").
今年1月份,来自亚特兰大的音乐人B.o.B.连发数条推特,重新提出地球可能是平的,主要的论据就是照片中的地平线看起来是直的。("弧线在哪里?请解释一下")。
Neil deGrasse Tyson's public putdown prompted B.o.B. to release a diss track, which was not very good, but did show how far the bar has fallen when it comes to prompting diss tracks these days.
奈尔•德葛拉司•泰森(天体物理学家)的公开羞辱促使B.o.B.发了一首辱骂的曲子,虽然歌曲不怎么样,但却说明为了宣传这首歌能多没有底限。
That was about the last time anyone spoke of B.o.B. in 2016.
这是2016年人们最后一次谈论到B.o.B.。
