The little blue creatures called the Smurfs that live in mushroom houses first appeared this month in 1958. Belgian author and cartoonist Pierre Culliford fi rst created the tiny blue people in white caps and pants for a story about knights, kings, and magic in the Belgian magazine Spirou. The little blue people in the story looked and dressed nearly the same as one another, except for Papa Smurf, who is dressed in red and has a beard. The Smurfs’ appearance in the story proved to be so popular that they were given their own stories a year later.

這些住在磨菇屋裡名叫藍色小精靈的藍色小生物於 1958 年十月份首次出現。比利時作家兼漫畫家皮耶•庫利佛德為一本比利時雜誌 《Spirou》 裡的一個關於騎士、國王，以及魔法的故事首次把這些戴著白色帽子和穿著褲子的小藍人創造出來。故事中小藍人的長相以及穿著彼此幾乎一模一樣，除了穿著紅色服裝以及留著鬍子的精靈老爹。藍色小精靈在故事中的外貌證實十分受到歡迎，以至於一年後他們被賦予了他們自己的故事。

Have you ever walked down the street and passed by someone who looked exactly like you? Were you in such a shock that you could not figure out what was going on? Then, at the very second you realized what happened, that person disappeared. The term for two different people who look like each other is doppelgangers. It comes from German, and it literally means double-goer. In ancient days, doppelgangers were seen as bad luck, signs of evil, or even ghosts.

你有沒有走在街上時跟長相與你極為相似的人擦身而過的經驗？你會不會驚訝到無法理解剛剛發生了什麼事情？當你回過神來的那一瞬間，那人卻早已消失得無影無蹤。形容兩個極為相似的人的詞彙是「化身」。這個字源自德文，所代表的意思正是兩個極為相似的人。在古代，化身被視為厄運、邪惡的象徵，甚至是鬼魂。
