这年头，鲸鱼都有间谍嫌疑了…
这只鲸鱼究竟有哪些“可疑”之处？
说到“间谍”，你脑子里的形象可能是这样的：
Via 网络；《复联》里面的黑寡妇是一名经验丰富的间谍
要不，这样的：
Via 网络；007系列电影中的间谍人物邦德
但你想过，间谍可能是长这样的吗？

最近，一只出现在挪威海域的白鲸引起了挪威当地渔民的注意。

与一般野生鲸鱼不同的是，这只白鲸身上帮着奇怪的带子；带子上据报道还有俄罗斯军方的字样。
而该鲸鱼一连串“高智商”的举动，更是让见惯了鲸鱼的当地渔民费解，觉得这只鲸鱼来头不小…

Fishermen Joar Hesten was the first to encounter the whale, off the coast of Finnmark, a county in northeastern Norway. Hesten then contacted the country’s Directorate of Fisheries.
一位叫Joar Hesten的渔民是最早发现这条鲸鱼的人。他当时在挪威东北部的芬马克。他发现这只鲸鱼后就联系了挪威的渔业部门。

这只白鲸究竟有哪些奇特之处？我们一起来看下吧。
The sighting of a beluga whale wearing a Russian-made harness has caused media speculation that the animal may have come from a Russian military facility. The whale was recently seen swimming alongside fishermen off the coast of Norway.
这只白鲸身上绑着俄罗斯制造的“背带”。该鲸鱼奇特装束引起媒体猜测，它可能属于俄罗斯军方。该白鲸近日出现在挪威海岸线，从当地渔民的船只旁游过。
Video footage obtained by ABC News shows the beluga whale bobbing its head in and out of the water and behaving in a friendly manner with local fishermen. Its harness had the words “Equipment St. Petersburg” etched on it.
从ABC新闻获得的视频录像上来看，这只白鲸从海水里钻进钻出，与挪威当地渔民举止友好。这条鲸鱼的被带上印有“圣彼得堡装备”的字眼。

还有专家亲自站出来，解释这只鲸鱼为何可能是一名训练有素的“间谍”。

挪威海洋研究所的一名专家Martin Biuw是这么说的：
“All I know is that both Russian and U.S. military have had active marine mammal programs in the past, but I have no detailed knowledge. I don’t see why they would equip those whales with harnesses,” he told ABC News.
“我所知道的是，俄罗斯军方和美国军方过去都有训练海洋哺乳类动物的项目，但我并不了解详情。我不理解的是，为何他们要给鲸鱼套上背带，”他在接受ABC新闻的采访时说。
“I would assume that harnesses are generally only used for short-term deployments, as they may cause chafing and other discomfort over longer time periods. What I can say for almost certain is that no researchers in Norway, and almost certainly not in Denmark/Greenland, use this method of attachment for any research related work. Whether scientists in Russia do, I have no idea.”
“我认为这种背带只有在短线部署的时候会用到，因为长线行程中，这些背带可能会引起擦伤和不适感。我能保证的就是在挪威丹麦和整个格陵兰岛，没有任何研究人员给鲸鱼套上背带，训练鲸鱼。至于俄罗斯的科学家是否会这么做，我不确定。”

这位专家还指出，这头鲸鱼的一个举动，暴露了它受过人为训练。
The behavior of the Beluga whale, however, is a “clear sign” that the animal had been trained and the inscription on the harness means it is “safe to assume the whale is indeed from Russia,” Biuw said.
专家Martin Biuw说，这只白鲸的行为举止是它受过训练的“明显信号”；而它被带上的字样，“能让人稳妥地推测它是来自俄罗斯的”。
“I wouldn’t say the behavior is normal, even though whales from time to time are curious and friendly,” Biuw noted. “One of the videos shows the whale bobbing its head out of the water and opening its mouth. This is a clear sign that the animal is trained, as this behavior is usually associated with begging for food from the trainer.”
Biuw接着指出：“尽管这头鲸鱼很友好，但它的举动不能说是很平常的。其中有一个视频显示它把头从水里钻进钻出，然后长大嘴巴。这个举动证明它受过训练。通常鲸鱼想从训练员那里乞讨食物的食物，会这么做。”
