Creepy Clown Hoax Becomes Epidemic
恐怖小丑恶作剧风靡全球
A clown hoax that began in the United States is spreading across the globe and becoming an epidemic. Sightings of clowns trying to scare people began late this summer in South Carolina and are now being reported in Canada, the UK, and even Australia. A number of incidents have been reported of clowns scaring children and even adults into bushes and dark places. Some of the reports describe clowns that are holding knives and running up to cars. Professional clowns say the pranks are no laughing matter. Some pranksters have been chased down and even shot after trying to frighten people.
始于美国的小丑恶作剧已扩散至全球,风靡一时。今年夏末,美国南卡罗来纳州出现有小丑试图恐吓行人,现在在加拿大、英国甚至澳大利亚均有此类报道。有很多报道称小丑将孩子甚至成年人吓到了灌木丛里或者黑暗的地方。另一些报道称还有小丑拿刀追着车跑。专业小丑认为这种恶作剧并不是闹着玩的。有些搞恶作剧的人在吓完人以后被揪了出来,甚至遭到了枪击。
