Navajo Message For The Moon

When NASA was preparing for the Apollo Project, it took the astronauts to a Navajoreservation in Arizona for training. One day, a Navajo elder and his son came across the space crew, who were walking among the rocks.
在美國國家航天局準備阿波羅航天計劃時,他們讓宇航員們去亞利桑那州納瓦夥族保留區進行訓練。某天,一位納瓦夥族老人和他兒子遇見正在岩石間穿行的航空工作人員。
The elder, who spoke only Navajo, asked a question. His son translated for the NASA people:
老人問了航天局人員一個問題,但他只會說納瓦夥族語,兒子幫他進行了翻譯:
"What are these guys in the big suits doing?"
“這些穿著厚重衣服的傢伙在幹嘛?”
One of the astronauts said they were practicing for a trip to the moon. When his son relayedthis comment, the Navajo elder got all excited and asked if it would be possible to give the astronauts a message to deliver to the moon.
一個宇航員說他們正為去月球進行訓練。當兒子傳達給老人後,老人非常興奮地問道能否請宇航員們為他向月球傳遞一條訊息。
A NASA official said, "Why certainly!" and told an underling to get a tape recorder. The Navajo elder's comments were brief. The NASA official asked the son if he would translate what his father had said. But he refused.
航天局官員回答:“當然可以啦!”並吩咐下屬拿來錄音機。老人的留言非常簡短,航天局官員問老人的兒子可否告訴他們老人說了什麼,但他拒絕了。
Finally, an official government translator was summoned. The translator relayed the message:
最後,他們請來了一位政府翻譯員,他轉述道:
"Watch out for these fellows! They have come to steal your land."
“小心這些傢伙!他們來搶你們的領土了。”
