Crop Circles【麦田怪圈简介】麦田怪圈，在长满麦子的麦田一夜之间出现有些麦弯曲而伏倒呈现有规律的圆圈形图案。
17世纪以来，麦田怪圈的起源争论就不绝于耳。
争论【人为所致还是自然现象怪圈成因存在五种争论】第一例关于“麦田怪圈”现象的报道可以追溯到1647年的英国，此后，美国、澳大利亚、欧洲、南美洲、亚洲等地都频频发现麦田怪圈，其中绝大部分是在英国。
截至目前，全世界每年大约要出现250个麦田怪圈，图案也各有不同。
但令人遗憾的是，350多年来，科学界对怪圈是如何形成的一直存在争议，关于成因，目前主要有五种说法。
一是磁场说。
有专家认为，磁场中有一种神奇的移动力，可产生一股电流，使农作物“平躺”在地面上。
美国专家杰弗里·威尔逊研究了130多个麦田怪圈，发现90%的怪圈附近都有连接高压电线的变压器，方圆270米内都有一个水池。
由于接受灌溉，麦田底部的土壤释放出的离子会产生负电，与高压电线相连的变压器则产生正电，负电和正电碰撞后会产生电磁能，从而击倒小麦形成怪圈。
二是龙卷风说。
从有关记载来看，麦田怪圈出现最多的季节是在春天和夏天，有人认为，夏季天气变化无常，龙卷风是造成怪圈的主要原因。
很多麦田怪圈出现在山边或离山六七公里的地方，这种地方很容易形成龙卷风。
三是外星制造说。
很多人相信，麦田怪圈大多是在一夜之间形成，很可能是外星人的杰作。
四是异端说。
一些人相信，麦田怪圈背后有种神秘的力量，就像百慕大三角一样。
根据这种猜测，就有人把麦田怪圈说成是“灾难预告”，借以散布异端邪说。
第五种也是流传较为广泛的说法是人造说。
相当一部分人认为，所谓麦田怪圈只是某些人的恶作剧。
英国科学家安德鲁经过长达17年的调查研究认为，麦田怪圈有80%属于人为制造。
特征【人工制造麦田怪圈】经过调查，发现大部分是某些人的恶作剧，但是热衷于此的人还是对此怀有很大的好奇心。
然而，不久后在英国汉普郡的Chilbolton天文台附近的麦田里再次发现了两个图案，其中之一是一个脸形，很多人都说很像电影电视里外星人的形象。
Crop circles, first appeared in 1647, in England; has a long history with 365 years. But they did not gain much attention until the first modern crop circles appeared in Britain, in 1972. From them on, more than 2000 such circles appeared in the fields all over the world, expect South Africa.The shapes of those circles are different, but nearly all of them are symmetrical; and they are becoming more and more complicated. These strange phenomenon aroused people’s interests: many scientists, geographers, physicists, as well as organizations devoted themselves to find out how these amazing works came out. Unfortunately, until now, no one could make a convincing explanation for how those circles formed. In general, there are 6 explanations: the first one is the earth’s magnetism, which is said that it is the magnetism from the earth that makes them. The second explanation is the effect of tornado. The third one is about prediction which people believe that those circles are the premonition of some kind of disaster. Also, like other strange appearances, some people believed it is the masterpiece from the creature outside the earth. Still some think they are constructed by human beings as a prank. And the last one is high frequent radiation theory.As far as I am concerned, the most unconvincing explanation is the man-made theory: firstly, I can’t image that human beings could make such huge complicated project in such a short time without any vestiges. Secondly, there were many physical characters that appeared in those mysterious circles, like strengthen of infrared ray, which oppose to the theory. Also, according to the physical characters and the well-made shapes, I doubt the tornado explanation. Still, the prediction theory isridiculous to me, because, in my eyes, every phenomenon occurred in some specific reason, we can not simply attribute them to prediction when we can not explain. As for the other three theories, I think they’re both possible for some reasons.In a word, people still can not tell exactly how those circles appeared; as the time goes, I hope that we could finally find out the reason why they occurred.。
麥田圈 Crop CirclesA design appearing quickly and secretively in a field of corn, barley, wheat, or similar crop, formed by the breaking down to the ground of these plants, is a crop circle. Sometimes they are also made by the etching of soil in dry, winter fields or in newly plowed ground. Vivid photographs, as well as colorful videos, have been published, but seeing a crop circle in person by air or from a hilltop and perhaps walking through it is the ultimate experience. Crop circles are a big tourist draw for this reason, with most being located in England.Discoveries of later-day crop circles began in the 1970s, but they are said to have existed as early as the 7th century. In 1991 in Southampton, England, two men, Doug Bower and Dave Chorley, confessed that they had been making crop circles since 1976, but there is no evidence of who or what has caused them before or after their time . . . until 1999. Researchers concluded then that a full 20 percent could not be explained. This number should have been higher, though, for those in 30 countries outside of England were notincluded in the study. Worldwide, about ten thousand crop circles have been reported as of 2010, an astonishing number!The name “crop circle”was given because the first pattern was a circle. They have since “matured”to include straight lines of geometry and curved lines and flourishes that make one think of outer space orbits and calligraphy. Some appear to have messages; some look like drawings and exquisite works of art, and others depict mathematical symbols. Are they the work of extraterrestrial beings? Many enthusiastically say, “Yes!”Others believe they are the signs Jesus spoke of when referring to “end times”or that the warning of a cataclysmic event in 2012 is apparent in their content.If you had been only faintly aware of what crop circles are, or if you are a skeptic of the paranormal or the mysterious, you might find that a little more research on this subject does not go a long way. Once you are captured by their sheer magnitude and beauty and see how they are sprinkled randomly into fields all around the globe, you will want to delve further. To say that crop circles are “interesting”is a gross understatement, and knowing that some are man-made but that othershave no feasible explanation is more than an attention-getter. It can become an obsession!在玉米、大麥、小麥或其他類似作物的田地上，乍然出現了一個由輾平作物所形成的神秘圖案，稱為「麥田圈」。
前面这一部分是引子，相当于一个小故事In the summer of 1978 an English man named Steven was driving histractor through a field of wheat when he discovered something strange .Some of his wheat （小麦）was lying on the ground . The flattened（倒伏的）wheat formed（形成）a circle about six meters across . Around thiscircle were four smaller circles of flattened wheat .【插入图片】Three years later a farmer who lived nearby discovered almost the samecircles in one of his fields . These circles were larger—nearly 15 metersacross . That same year , another English farmer discovered three circlesof flattened wheat on his land—one large circle between two small circles .During the following years , farmers in England found circles in their fieldsmore and more often ......【插入图片】【最好能在这里插入一小段视频，找不到合适的就算了】这部分是麦田怪圈的介绍麦田怪圈的解释The second is a tornado, said. Records from the point of view, most of theseason Crop circles appear in the spring and summer, it was consideredchangeable summer weather, tornadoes, the main cause of the cycle.【图】Some people believe that Crop Circles behind a kind of mysterious power,like the Bermuda Triangle the same. According to this speculation, somepeople put Crop circles as a "disaster trailer" in order to spread heresy.【图】你分配一下每个人念哪段吧1/ 1。
