Many years ago, an article that was published in a small newspaper in Scotland kicked off a worldwide cultural phenomenon (现象).
The Inverness Courier ran a 1 in May, 1933. It was reported that a local woman 2 Aldie Mackay saw a huge beast (兽) in Loch Ness, a big lake in Scotland. According to Mackay, the beast was as 3 as a whale. Mackay's 4 brought the legend of the Loch Ness Monster, or Nessie for short, into the public eyes. 5 the article was published, there have been "over 1,000 eyewitness (目击者) reports" of Nessie sightings.
Nessie is usually 6 as a mix of a dinosaur and a dragon. Dragons are often seen as scary creatures in Western culture, but Nessie is 7. If you pay a visit to tourist spots around Loch Ness, you will 8 paintings of a smiling Nessie on signs, and cute Nessie toys in shops. In the village of Fort Augustus, which is close to Loch Ness, you can even 9 "Nessie-hunting" trips on a high-tech boat.
10, the trips aren't taken too seriously. Each of the boat's windows has a Nessie-shaped drawing 11 it. Tourists can take a picture of the "monster" for 12. The boat's guides tell funny stories and make jokes with the tourists as they sail across the beautiful 13.
This sort of sense of humor is 14 in Scotland. Although there's no real proof (证据) of Nessie, we can still 15 the story and have fun with it.
