主持人STEVE INSKEEP：

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. A search for a sasquatch is under way. We don't mean Bigfoot, the source of legends. This is a seven-foot lookalike. At least it looks like what people think Bigfoot looks like. It was a lawn ornament outside a Michigan home. Sasquatch was attached to a post, but somebody cut it free. So if you're in Park Township, Mich., and see Bigfoot, that's the ornament. Or maybe that's what they want you to think when you see the real thing. It's MORNING EDITION.

早上好我是Steve Inskeep。正在搜寻一只大脚怪。我们指的不是大脚怪，传说的源头。这是一个七英尺长的样子。至少它看起来像人们认为的大脚怪。那是密歇根州一户人家外面的草坪装饰品。大脚怪附在一根柱子上，但有人把它剪断了。所以，如果你在密歇根州的帕克镇，看到大脚怪，那就是装饰品。或者，当你看到真实的东西时，他们希望你这样想。这是早上版。
