The Loneliest Whale in the World.
世界上最孤單的鯨魚。

In 2004, The New York Times wrote an article about the loneliest whale in the world.
Scientists have been tracking her since 1992 and they discovered the problem:
2004年，紐約時代雜誌撰寫了一篇文章關於這世界上最孤單的鯨魚。
研究者們從1992年開始追蹤她然後發現了其中的問題:

She isn’t like any other baleen whale. Unlike all other whales, she doesn’t have friends. She doesn’t have a family. She doesn’t belong to any tribe, pack or gang. She doesn’t have a lover. She never had one.
Her songs come in groups of two to six calls, lasting for five to six seconds each. But her voice is unlike any other baleen whale. It is unique—while the rest of her kind communicate between 12 and 25hz, she sings at 52hz. You see, that’s precisely the problem.
No other whales can hear her. Every one of her desperate calls to communicate remains unanswered. Each cry ignored. And, with every lonely song, she becomes sadder and more frustrated, her notes going deeper in despair as the years go by.
她不像其他鬚鯨。不同於任何鯨魚，她沒有朋友。她沒有家人。他不屬於任何族群或是團體。她沒有伴侶。她不曾有過這一切。
她哼著2-6個音節，每次持續5-6秒的聲音，但她的聲音跟所有其他鯨魚都不同。那是獨有的── 當除了她以外的都哼著12和25赫茲時她在52赫茲。所以你可以馬上了解到問題所在。沒有其他鯨魚聽得到她。她每個絕望的呼喚換來的都是毫無回應。每個哭泣都被忽略。並且，在每一次孤單的歌聲中，她又更加傷心沮喪。他在流逝的歲月裡體會更深的絕望。

Just imagine that massive mammal, floating alone and singing—too big to connect with any of the beings it passes, feeling paradoxically small in the vast stretches of empty, open ocean.
試想著那樣巨大的哺乳類動物，孤單徘徊在大海唱歌── 太大的體積於是錯過與他擦身而過的任何生物，在廣大的海洋中無垠空間時空裡反常的存在著。

我哭超慘......

不知道她現在是不是還徘徊著，但1992-2004年間，她就這麼形單影隻。
開口的不管是話是歌，永遠無人回應。
怎麼會有這麼孤獨的世界呢ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
