失落荷兰人矿

嘿。

Hey.

我是你们最喜欢的秘密主持人，来自那个你们祈祷它还是秘密的播客。

It's your favorite secret host here from your favorite cross your fingers it's still a secret podcast.

今天，我们戴上探矿帽，去探访了一些充满迷信色彩的山脉。

Today, we put on our prospector hats and checked out some superstitious mountains.

那里有金子。

There was gold.

有银子。

There was silver.

还有一个可爱的小家伙，住在可爱的小壳里。

There was a charming little creature in a charming little shell.

不过，那可不是马塞尔。

But no, it wasn't Marcel.

押韵押得真好。

Great rhyme.

那可真是一段疯狂的时光。

It was a wild time.

我不说了。

I'll stop.

所以别走开。

So don't go anywhere.

我是卡莉·Q，这里是《谁问哇哇神秘版》。

I'm Carly Q, and this is Who Wen Wow Mystery Edition.

我很想说今天来上班时心情特别好。

I'd love to say I came into work today in a great mood.

早上好，卡莉·Q。

Good morning, Carly Q.

嗨，卡罗尔。

Hi, Carol.

但说实话，我当时挺沮丧的。

But the truth is, I was bummed.

几个月前，有人给我留了张纸条，说知道我们用电梯穿越时空的事。

It's been a few months now since someone left me a note saying they knew about us using the elevator to travel back in time.

纸条上没署名。

They didn't sign it.

这让我特别不安。

It was freaking me out.

而且完全不知道是谁，我挺灰心的。

And with no leads on who it might be, I was feeling pretty discouraged.

是安珀。

It's Amber.

好的。

Okay.

装到成功为止。

Make it till you make it.

嘿，卡莉。

Hey, Carly.

你还好吗？

You okay?

你看起来

You look

有点低落。

a little down.

我没事。

I'm fine.

不用担心我。

No need to worry about me.

好吧，我希望

Well, I hope

你今天过得愉快。

you have a good day.

谢谢你，安珀。

Thank you, Amber.

就连安珀那阳光般的笑容也没能让我心情好起来。

Even Amber's sunny smile wasn't easing my crummy mood.

幸好，我的老鼠朋友尼布尔斯在地下室等着我，我就跟她倾诉了一下我的感受。

Luckily, my rat friend Nibbles was waiting for me down in the basement, so I commiserated with her about how I was feeling.

等等。

Wait.

那笔迹呢？

What about the hand writing?

尼布尔斯为了逗我开心，大胆地想了个新主意，要找出写信的人。

Nibbles, in a brazen attempt to lift my spirits, had a new idea to find the letter writer.

你想把信上的笔迹和这里所有员工的笔迹对比一下？

You wanna compare the handwriting of the letter against everyone's handwriting who works here at Butthead?

我觉得这主意也不算太糟。

I guess it's not a terrible idea.

毕竟我们在这里工作前都得参加一场十四小时的手写考试。

We did all have to take a fourteen hour handwritten exam to work here.

好多

So many

文章啊。

essays.

哦，哦，哦，卡莉。

Oh, oh, oh, Carly.

刘易斯下到地下室时，我告诉了他尼布斯的计划。

When Lewis came down to the basement, I told him Nibble's plan.

这主意不错，尤其是从一只老鼠嘴里说出来的。

That's a great idea, especially coming from a rat.

你怎么听起来不太兴奋？

Why do you sound so unexcited about it?

我只是有点悲观。

I'm just feeling kind of pessimistic.

每条线索都断了。

Every clue has fallen through.

我开始觉得有点累了。

It's starting to wear on me.

打起精神来，小可爱。

Perk up, Buttercup.

这次说不定真的能把这个案子彻底破了。

This might actually break the case wide open.

你可能知道，我是委员会里的委员，所以我能接触到所有笔迹样本。

As you may know, I'm on the committee making committee, so I have access to all the handwriting samples.

我可以轻松地扫描匹配一下。

I can easily scan for a match.

刘易斯救了

Lewis saves the

大家。

day.

又一次。

Again.

但就在那时。

But just then.

一个新的时间事件，封印1931年。

A new time Event, seal 1931.

迷信山，迷信山？

Superstition Mountains, Superstition Mountains?

那是什么？

What's that?

像是一座充满老妇迷信传说的山脉？

Like a mountain range full of old wives tales?

还是那种你总得敲木头、躲黑猫、不照碎镜子的地方，还有……

Or some place where you always have to knock on wood and avoid black cats and not break mirrors and

或者是一座实际上并不存在的山脉。

Or a mountain range that doesn't even actually exist.

哦。

Oh.

什么？

What?

尼布说那只是亚利桑那州一座普通的山脉。

Nibble says it's just a regular old mountain range in Arizona.

好吧。

Okay.

那就不那么刺激了。

That's less exciting.

尼布，你真是扫兴。

Way to yuck our yum, Nibbles.

我拿出了我的掌上数字助理设备。

I pulled out my handheld digital assistance device.

H爸？

H dad?

H爸，你完全在场，绝对没有分心在看YouTube上的开箱视频。

H dad, you're fully present and definitely not distracted watching unboxing videos on YouTube.

哦，你看那个。

Oh, look at that.

哇。

Wow.

说真的，HDAP？

Seriously, HDAP?

好吧。

Okay.

我就把文件里的线索输进去。

I'm just gonna plug in the clues from the file.

1931年，迷信山，佩拉尔塔·麦克。

1931, Superstition Mountains, Peralta Mac.

这个文件很可能指的是“失落荷兰人金矿”，一个传说中藏在亚利桑那山区里的金矿。

This file most likely refers to the Lost Dutchman's Mine, a long fabled gold mine hidden in the mountains of Arizona.

金块表情符号。

Gold nugget emoji.

荷兰人是什么？

What's the Dutchman?

传说中，一个叫雅各布·沃尔兹的德国移民在十九世纪六十年代秘密发现了一座金矿。

Legend has it, a German immigrant named Jacob Waltz secretly found a gold mine in the eighteen sixties.

当时“荷兰人”是德国人的常见绰号，因为德语中“德国人”的发音是“德意志”。

Dutchman was a common nickname for German people at that time because the German word for German is Deutsche.

好吧，这还真不让人困惑。

Okay, that's not confusing at all.

话说回来，有人找到那座矿了吗？

Anyway, did somebody find the mine?

佩拉尔塔地图又是什么？

And what's the Peralta map?

佩拉尔塔地图是一份流传已久的文件，据说标出了西南地区多处隐藏矿藏的位置。

The Peralta map is long rumored document that supposedly shows the location of various hidden mines in the Southwest.

哦，那是一张藏宝图。

Oh, it's a treasure map.

在1910年代，一个叫欧文·鲁斯的人得到了这张地图，后来他把地图分享给了他的父亲阿道夫。

In the 1910s, a man named Erwin Ruth came into possession of the map, and later he shared it with his father, Adolf.

阿道夫在1931年出发去寻找失落的荷兰人金矿，结果在寻找过程中失踪了。

Adolf set out to find the Lost Dutchman's Mine in 1931 and ended up disappearing while searching for it.

哦，失踪了。

Oh, a disappearance.

他后来怎么样了？

What happened to him?

分析中。

Analyzing.

分析中。

Analyzing.

对。

Right.

好的。

Okay.

他在分析。

He Analyzing.

找到了矿，然后跑路去加勒比海开始新生活了。

Found the mine and then took off to start a new life in the Caribbean.

哦，哦，或者他找到了，但结果那是个通往另一个维度的传送门。

Oh, oh, or maybe he found it, but it turned out to be a portal to another dimension.

哦，或者他既不是荷兰人也不是德国人，其实是个外星人。

Oh, or maybe he was neither Dutch nor German, but in fact an alien.

就是这样。

And there it is.

这个谜团挺有意思的。

This is a fun mystery.

你知道吗，也许一场经典的老式寻宝正是我需要的，能让我重新振作起来。

You know, maybe a good old fashioned treasure hunt is just what I need to get me back into the swing of things.

刘易斯也同意。

Lewis agrees.

然后回到楼上，开始研究笔迹。

Then went back upstairs to get started on the handwriting search.

我自己也做了一些工作，没过多久，注意了，Butthead的员工们。

I got some work done myself, and before long Attention, Butthead employees.

今天是呼啦圈

It's hula hooping

套装日。

suit day.

午餐时间到了。

Lunch time.

我们去爬那些迷信山吧。

Let's go climb some superstition mountains.

那里有金子。

There's gold in them here.

这次

This time

我抓起尼布斯和老爹，然后我们就冲向电梯。

I grabbed Nibbles and aged dad, and we took off for the elevator.

天哪，真是的。

Goodness gracious.

看那些仙人掌。

Look at that cacti.

你看那些仙人掌，你。

Look at that cacti you.

我有一条大蛇在

I got a big snake in

我的靴子里。

my boo.

你确实有。

You sure did.

你好，卡莉。

Hello, Carly.

嗨，奥迪。

Hi, Odie.

还有朋友们。

And friends.

你今天怎么样？

How are you today?

还行吧。

Just okay.

我有点沮丧，因为一直在找那个写信的人，没什么进展。

I'm feeling a little down about the whole search for the letter writer.

我们一直在想办法让她开心起来，还有什么比金子更能让人开心的呢？

We've been trying to cheer her up, and what better source of cheer than gold?

金子？

Gold?

金子。

Gold.

我们今天有个谜团，是关于失落荷兰人金矿的，还有那个去找它的人，阿道夫·鲁夫？

We got a mystery today all about the Lost Dutchman's gold mine, and this guy who went looking for it, Adolf Rufe?

啊，当然。

Ah, of course.

我记得这个故事。

I remember this story.

我记得在出发去找金矿之前，阿道夫住在他朋友位于迷信山的一个牧场上。

I believe that before setting out to look for the mine, Adolf stayed at a friend's ranch up in the Superstition Mountains.

迷信山。

Superstition Mountains.

我太喜欢这个名字了。

I just love that name.

是不是很棒？

Isn't it fantastic?

总之，你也许应该在阿道夫出发去寻找之前，在牧场和他谈谈。

Anyway, you might want to speak with Adolf at the ranch before he goes off searching.

你很可能通过他走路一瘸一拐的样子认出他。

You'll likely recognize him by the limp in his walk.

好主意。

Solid plan.

那我能听听时间旅行的规则吗？

Then can I hear the time travel rules, please?

午饭前回来，别改变过去。

Be back by the end of lunch and no changing the past.

最后一条要特别注意，卡莉·库布。

Take heed of the last one, Carly Cube.

我知道你可能忍不住想告诉埃多夫他将来会发生什么，或者甚至想自己拿一块金子。

I know you might be tempted to say something to Edorf about what's going to happen to him or even grab a nugget of gold for yourself.

但我不能，因为我们不能打乱时间线。

But I can't because we can't throw off the timeline.

完全正确。

Exactly right.

好的，我觉得你们俩准备好了。

Okay, I think you two are ready.

但记住，聪明的山蜗牛会记得自己的路。

But just keep in mind, the wise mountain snail remembers its trail.

好的。

Okay.

给你们。

Here you go.

蜗牛？

Snail?

她说蜗牛了吗？

Did she say snail?

祝你们狩猎愉快。

Happy hunting.

蜗牛就是有储存空间的蛞蝓，它们的

Snails are the slugs with storage space on their

我们到了。

We made it.

我们肯定是在山里了。

We are definitely in the mountains.

看。

Look.

那一定是牧场了。

That must be the ranch.

沿着这条路下去，有一栋大木屋，依山而建。

Just down the way was a big wooden house nestled into the mountainside.

附近围栏里还有几匹马在吃草。

A few horses grazed in a fenced in pen nearby.

这地方真适合住。

What a place to live.

哦，看看这景色。

Oh, look at that view.

尼布斯说得对。

Nibbles was right.

头顶是湛蓝的天空，山间的景色美不胜收，这里真是个绝妙的地方。

Between the clear blue sky overhead and the gorgeous view up the mountains, it was a pretty spectacular place.

好了。

Okay.

我们去找阿道夫吧。

Let's go find Adolf.

是吗？

Yeah?

我和尼布斯都同意。

Nibbles and I agreed.

现在我得集中精神了。

Now I to focus.

我们走到农舍前敲门时，她躲在我的背包里。

She hid down in my back pack as we walked over to the ranch house and knocked on the door.

请进。

Come in.

我们走进客厅，正好看到一位老人从楼上下来。

We entered into a living room, arriving just as an older man came down from upstairs.

你好？

Hello?

他走路有点跛，所以我猜他应该就是我们要找的人。

He had a limp, so I figured he must be just the man we were looking for.

你好，阿多？

Hello, Ado?

是的。

Yes.

你们俩是谁？

Who are you two?

新来的马厩伙计还是什么的？

The new stable boys or something?

对。

Yeah.

对对。

Yeah, yeah.

就是我们。

That's us.

就是几个马夫，来这儿管马的。

Just a couple of stable boys here to wrangle the horses.

你知道的，用绳子，还有那种声音。

You know, with ropes and and that sound.

老马，过来，伙计。

The old here, boy.

偶尔喊一声“吁”。

Maybe the occasional woah.

别理她。

Ignore her.

她从马上摔下来太多次了。

She fell off too many horses.

先生，我们听说您要去找失落荷兰人的金矿。

Sir, we heard you were going to look for the Lost Dutchman's Mine.

我确实要去。

I most certainly am.

我也都准备好了。

I'm all ready to go too.

我就在这儿等两个牛仔带我上山呢。

I'm just waiting here for a pair of cowboys to guide me up into the mountains.

我在这儿等得不耐烦了。

I'm sick of waiting here.

金子正在召唤我。

The gold is calling to me.

你确定你行吗？

Are you sure you're up to that?

你说话像我儿子。

You sound like my son.

他也想劝我放弃，

He tried to talk me out of

在安扎山脉之后也是这样。

this too after the Anza Mountains.

安扎博雷戈山脉发生了什么？

And what happened in the Anza Borrego Mountains?

欧文，也就是我儿子，在墨西哥得到了佩拉尔塔地图。

Irwin, that's my son, came into possession of the Peralta map down in Mexico.

地图上隐藏的矿之一就是所谓的“失落猪腿矿”，据说在南加州。

One of the hidden mines on the map was the Lost Pig Leg Mine, supposedly down in Southern California.

海盗的宝藏藏在迪士尼乐园的中心？

A pirate's treasure hidden in the heart of Disneyland?

完美。

Perfect.

迪士尼什么？

Disney what now?

算了。

Never mind.

你刚才说什么来着？

You were saying?

我和欧文去找了。

Me and Irwin went looking.

但有一天，他在搭营地的时候，我一个人出去找，结果不小心掉进了一个峡谷里。

But one day while he set up camp, I went out searching by my lonesome and ended up tripping into a ravine.

哦，天哪。

Oh, no.

他花了四天才找到我。

Took him four days to find me.

我摔断了髋骨。

I'd broken a hip.

他们不得不放了一块银板进去固定住。

They had to put in a silver plate to keep it in place.

所以我走路才有点瘸。

That's why I got this limp.

哎哟。

Ouch.

虽然确实疼，但我不会让这影响我。

Sure it hurts, but I'm not letting that get in my way.

我骨子里就爱冒险。

I've got the thrill of adventure in my blood.

我不会让任何事挡我的路。

I'm not letting anything get in my way.

就算我儿子不肯跟我一起也不行。

Not even my own son refusing to join me.

好吧。

Okay.

那失落荷兰人金矿到底在哪儿？

And where exactly is the Lost Dutchman's Mine?

我猜你很想知道的吧？

I bet you'd like to know, wouldn't you?

你大概想让我掏出那张佩拉尔塔地图，给你指个准确位置。

You'd probably like me to whip out the old Peralta map and show you the exact location.

我是说，对啊。

I mean, yeah.

那太好了。

That would be great.

好。

Okay.

哇。

Wow.

这也太容易了吧。

That was easy.

你们俩不就是几个马夫吗，对吧？

Well, you two are just a couple of stable boys, right?

为什么不呢？

Why not?

他离开房间，过了一会儿拿着地图回来了。

He left the room and came back a few moments later with the map.

如果这张地图是真的，那么那个人应该就在这附近。

If this map is true, then the man should be right about here.

就在一座叫韦弗针的大岩石山峰的阴影下。

Right in the shadow of a big rock peak called Weaver's Needle.

等这些牛仔一到，我最后就去那里看看那个失落的荷兰人到底发现了什么。

And once these cowboys show up, I'll finally head there and see what this Lost Dutchman really found.

惹上麻烦了。

Got out trouble.

用这个换一杯水。

One of these for a glass of water.

其实，麻烦我们俩都行。

Actually, can trouble us both.

我拉着刘易斯一起走到水槽边。

I pulled Lewis with me over to the sink.

你觉得呢？

What do you think?

我们要不要坐电梯去织针峰，自己去看一看？

Should we take the elevator to Weaver's Needle and have a look ourselves?

对。

Yeah.

尼布斯从我的背包里探出头来。

Nibbles popped up out of my backpack.

同意。

Agreed.

我们越快回去寻宝越好。

The sooner we get back to treasure hunting, the better.

对了，我还得尿尿，所以走快点，行吗？

Also, I have to pee, so pick up the pace, would you?

我们给艾德留了点水，然后道了别。

We brought Ade off some water and said our goodbyes.

我们现在得回去干活了，不过非常感谢你给我们看地图，祝你好运。

We have to get back to work now, but thanks so much for showing us the map, and good luck.

回头见，探宝者。

See you later, prospectator.

刘易斯，快走吧。

Lewis, come on.

我们冲出去，赶紧爬上了电梯。

We raced outside and scrambled up to the elevator.

织女针，我们来了。

Weaver's needle, there we go.

新鲜空气。

Fresh air.

我不知道这种安稳的生活是不是真的适合我，卡莉。

I don't know if this stable life is really for me, Carly.

我们

We got

出了电梯，就在针岩的正下方。

out of the elevator right below the needle.

想不注意都难。

It was hard to miss.

一根巨大的石柱，像一根手指直指天空。

A giant column of rock that looked like a finger pointing up into the sky.

好的。

Okay.

咱们去找金子吧。

Let's get searching for some gold.

当然。

Absolutely.

我需要一分钟。

I just need a minute.

还要一点私人空间，这是第三点。

And a little privacy, it's number three.

在我们等尼布斯的时候，你知道，我和刘易斯在针状岩石的底部周围看了看，甚至挖了几个洞，但什么都没找到。

While we waited for nibbles to, you know, Lewis and I looked around the base of the needle, even dug a few holes, but nothing turned up.

所以我们

So we

开始往更远的地方搜索。

started searching further afield.

我们跟着尼布斯和奥莫努，开始沿着一条狭窄的山谷往下走。

We followed Nibbles, Omonu, and started making our way down a narrow valley.

但走了一会儿后，我们仍然什么都没找到。

But after walking for a while, we still hadn't found anything.

我们在这里待了多久了？

How long have we been out here?

几天、几周、几个月了？

Days, weeks, months?

刘易斯，已经

Lewis, it's

过了二十分钟了。

been twenty minutes.

真是

What a

太扫兴了，在荒野里找一座失落的金矿竟然要费这么大劲。

bummer that searching through the wilderness for a lost gold mine requires so much.

在荒野里找一座失落的金矿？

Searching through the wilderness for a lost gold mine?

没错。

Exactly.

嘿，看那边。

Hey, look over there.

那是什么在阳光下闪闪发光？

What is that glinting in the sunlight?

金子。

Gold.

金子。

Gold.

我们朝远处那个闪光的东西跑过去，但走近一看，才发现

We raced over towards the speck of something shining in the distance, but as we got closer, we realized

它在动？

It's moving?

对。

Yeah.

它好像在那块石头上慢慢移动。

It seems to be moving slowly across that rock.

真奇怪。

How weird.

天哪。

Oh my goodness.

是只蜗牛。

It's a snail.

蜗牛壳上有个小金点？

It's a tiny speck of gold on the back of a snail shell?

好吧。

Okay.

那也太恶心了。

That is just yuck.

哎呀，别说了。

Oh, shush.

你好啊，蜗牛先生。

Hello, mister snail.

卡莉，别这样。

Carly, no.

我们不会把它带回去的。

We are not taking him back with us.

还记得白蚁泰瑞那场闹剧吧。

Remember the Terry the Termite fiasco.

我知道，我知道，我知道，但它毕竟是个蜗牛。

I know, I know, I know, but still a snail.

就像奥迪的谜语一样。

It's just like Odie's riddle.

我在想她是不是指这个。

I wonder if this is what she meant.

对。

Yeah.

等等，她还提到了痕迹，但我在这附近没看到任何痕迹。

Wait, she said something about trails too, but I don't see any trails nearby here.

她通常不会把话说得那么字面。

She usually doesn't mean stuff super literally.

不过，如果蜗牛身上有金子，那矿肯定就在这附近某个地方，对吧？

Still, if there's gold on the snail, then the mine must be right around here somewhere, right?

我是说，对吧？

I mean, right?

我们到处都找遍了，除了很多很多普通的石头，没看到别的什么。

We looked all around and didn't see much other than lots and lots of regular rocks.

好吧。

Okay.

但有一次，我们确实看到远处有两个人。

But at one point, we did see a pair of people off in the distance.

嘿，看。

Hey, look.

他们在向我们挥手。

They're waving to us.

哦，可能是阿道夫和他的一个牛仔。

Oh, maybe it's Adolf and one of his cowboys.

别挥手回应。

Don't wave back.

我们不认识他们。

We don't know them.

阿道夫不可能这么快就到这里。

Adolf would not have gotten up here so fast.

但就在这时，分析完成了。

But just then Analysis complete.

是的。

Yes.

嘿，爸，这里是怎么回事？

H Dad, what's the story here?

阿道夫找到那个矿了吗？

Did Adolf ever find the mine?

没有定论。

Inconclusive.

阿道夫跟牛仔们出去之后，就失踪了。

After Adolf went out with the cowboys, he disappeared.

当时组织了搜救队，但一直没找到人，直到六个月后，他的头骨被发现，上面还有洞。

A search party was formed, but nothing turned up until six months later when his skull was found with holes in it.

后来，他其余的遗骸也陆续被找到了。

And eventually, the rest of his remains were found as well.

天哪。

Yikes.

阿道夫的很多个人物品也找到了，但佩拉尔塔地图不在其中。

Many of Adolf's personal effects were also found, but not the Peralta map.

那到底发生了什么？

So what happened?

是牛仔们把地图据为己有了吗？

Did the cowboys take the map for themselves?

这是最普遍的说法，但实际发生了什么，至今仍是个谜。

This is the most commonly held theory, but what actually occurred remains a mystery.
