Hey, Smarty Pals.

我是马克，我是桑登。

Marc and Sanden here.

哟。

Yo.

最近怎么样？

What's up?

我们作为“骗局猎人”又回来了。

We're back as the Hoax Hunters.

这个节目就是我和桑登一起调查那些听起来难以置信的说法。

That's the show where Sanden and I look into claims that seem hard to believe.

比如呢？

Like what?

看看它们是真的、是误会，还是可能是个骗局。

To find out if they are real, a misunderstanding, or maybe a hoax.

去追查那个骗局。

Gonna hunt that hoax.

哦，去追查它。

Oh, Gonna hunt it.

今天，我们给你们带来一集特别节目，只有像你们这样的聪明小伙伴才能听到。

Today, we're bringing you a bonus episode that's only available to Smarty Pals like you.

太独家了。

So exclusive.

这算是之前那集关于宝可梦历史的《很久以前》节目的后续。

It's kind of a follow-up to that Forever Ago episode on the history of Pokemon.

就像续集一样。

Like a sequel.

这次

This

我们要探讨的是1997年12月发生的一个奇怪现象。

time, we're looking at a strange phenomenon that occurred in December 1997.

在过去。

In the past.

那是很久以前的事了。

It's so far back.

一个很多人声称让他们生病的电视节目。

A TV show that lots of people claim made them sick.

它被称为“宝可梦冲击”。

It's been called the Pokemon Shock.

这是真的吗？

Was it real?

是骗局吗？

A hoax?

我们一起来了解更多。

Let's learn more.

准备好和《骗局猎人》一起保持怀疑吧。

Get ready to get skeptical with the Hoax Hunters.

《骗局猎人》。

Hoax Hunters.

我们喜欢这个，但讨厌被骗。

We like this, but we hate getting tricked.

我们喜欢这个，但讨厌被骗。

We like this, but we hate getting tricked.

这个，但我们讨厌被骗。

This, but we hate getting tricked.

我们讨厌被骗，不，我们不喜欢这样。

We hate getting tricked, no we don't like it.

时间是1997年12月16日的晚上。

The time is the evening on 12/16/1997.

地点是日本。

The place, Japan.

全国各地的孩子们都在看直播电视。

Kids all across the country are watching live TV.

这差不多是三十年前的事了。

This was almost thirty years ago.

那是在流媒体、Netflix和YouTube这些东西出现之前很久很久，你不能按个按钮就随时随地看任何想看的节目。

Way, way, way before streaming and Netflix and YouTube and stuff like that, you couldn't just push a button and watch anything you wanted whenever you wanted.

你得等到特定的日子、特定的时间才能看到你想看的节目。

You had to, like, wait for a specific time on a specific day to see the show you wanted.

比如说，如果你特别喜欢《辛普森一家》，你只能等到星期天晚上七点，调到第五频道才能看到新的一集。

So, like, if you were, like, really into The Simpsons, for example, you could only watch the new episodes on, let's say, Sunday nights at 7PM by turning to channel five.

我完全记得当时得这么做。

I totally remember having to do this.

虽然有点烦人，但也挺酷的。

And it was kind of annoying, but also kind of cool.

电视节目就像日落一样。

TV shows were like a sunset.

没错。

Exactly.

等等，什么？

Like, wait, what?

你知道，一天结束时太阳落山的时候

You know, when the sun goes down at the end of the day

不。

No.

不。

No.

我我知道日落是什么，马克。

I I know what a sunset is, Marc.

我是说，电视怎么会像日落呢？

I meant, like, how is TV like a sunset?

哦。

Oh.

哦，好吧。

Oh, okay.

嗯，你不能想什么时候看日落就什么时候看。

Well, you can't just watch a sunset whenever you want to.

它只在一天中的特定时间出现，所以显得特别。

It only happens at a specific time of day, which makes it special.

哇。

Wow.

我从来没这么想过，但确实挺特别的。

I never thought of it like that, but that is kinda special.

而且，像那样的直播电视，大家都得在同一时间看同样的节目。

Plus, with live TV like that, everyone had to watch the same shows at the same time.

那是一种完全共享的体验。

It was a totally shared experience.

那还挺酷的。

That is kinda cool.

而且在这个案例里，麻烦也正是从这里开始的。

And in this case, it's also where the trouble started.

12月16日晚上6点半，在日本，数百万人正准备收看一部超火的新动画。

On December 16 at 06:30PM in Japan, millions of people were getting ready to watch the hottest new cartoon.

《宝可梦》。

Pokemon.

游戏当时已经很火了，动画也超级受欢迎。

The video game was already a hit, and the cartoon was super popular too.

在这一集里，皮卡丘、小智和伙伴们进入了一台电脑，遇到了一只数码鸟形的宝可梦，叫多边兽。

In this particular episode, Pikachu, Ash, and the gang go inside a computer and meet a digital bird looking Pokemon called Porygon.

在结尾部分，

Toward the end of the

在那一集的结尾，电脑里的程序用数字导弹攻击了主角们。

episode, the program inside the computer attacks our heroes with some digital missiles.

但我们的好朋友皮卡丘用它的电击绝招反击，把导弹拦了下来。

But our pal, Pikachu, stops the missiles by firing back, doing that lightning zappy thing Pikachu does.

好的。

Okay.

就在节目播到这个时候，晚上6点51分，有些孩子开始感到头晕，有点恶心，还头疼。

It was at this point in the show, at 06:51PM, that some kids started feeling dizzy, kinda sick with headaches.

有些孩子晕了过去。

Some passed out.

有些孩子出现了抽搐。

Some kids were having seizures.

那就是大脑突然出现一阵异常的电流活动。

That's when the brain has a fast burst of unusual electrical activity.

看完那个场景后，超过六百个孩子感觉非常不舒服，被送去了医院。

More than six hundred kids felt so bad after the scene, they were taken to the hospital.

接下来的几天，又有更多孩子报告说感觉不舒服。

Over the next few days, more kids reported feeling ill too.

根据一些报道，总共大约有一万两千名孩子受到影响。

According to some reports, around twelve thousand kids in total.

他们很快就都恢复了，但整件事让人摸不着头脑。

They all got better pretty quickly, but the whole thing was baffling.

现在我们知道这

Now we know this

不是骗局。

isn't a hoax.

确实发生过。

It really happened.

你可以在档案里找到相关的新闻报道。

You can find news articles about it in archives.

还有科学论文专门研究过这件事，连可靠的记者也调查过。

There are scientific papers written about it, and trustworthy reporters have even looked into it.

不是骗局。

Not a hoax.

我甚至记得小时候就听说过这件事，那时候我还不怎么关注新闻。

I even remember hearing about this when I was a kid, and I didn't pay attention to the news a lot back then.

所以如果我都听说了，那肯定是个大新闻。

So if I heard about it, it must have been a pretty big story.

确实是大新闻。

It was big news.

所以

So

我们知道这是真的，但到底是什么引起的呢？

we know it was real, but what made it happen?

难道真的有个电视节目让人生病了？

Did a TV show actually make people sick?
