日本忍者學生“空白”作文得高分

A Japanese university student of ninja history got an “A” for handing in what appeared to be a blank paper but – her professor then realized – turned out was written using an old ninja technique: invisible ink.

日本一名研究忍者歷史的大學生，因為交了一張看似空白的紙而得了“A”，但她的教授隨后意識到，這張紙其實是用一種古老的忍者技巧寫的:隱形墨水。

Eimi Haga, a 19-year-old first-year student at Mie University, used a ninja communication method called “aburidashi,” in which words are written using soybean extract mixed with water, to write about her visit to a ninja museum, the BBC reported. The words become invisible after the ink dries and reappear when the paper is heated.

據(jù)英國廣播公司報道，19歲的日本三重大學一年級學生Eimi Haga使用一種名為“aburidashi”的忍者交流方式，用混合了水的大豆提取物來書寫文字，以此來記錄她參觀忍者博物館的經(jīng)歷。墨水干了之后，這些字就看不見了，而紙張加熱后，這些字又會重新出現(xiàn)。

“When the professor said in class that he would give a high mark for creativity, I decided that I would make my essay stand out from others,” she told the outlet.

她對媒體說：“當教授在課堂上說他會給創(chuàng)造力打高分時，我決定讓我的文章與眾不同。”

She handed in the essay to Professor Yuji Yamada with a note written in normal ink attached: “Please read it after heating the paper.”

她把論文交給了山田有司教授，并附上一張用普通墨水寫的紙條:“請在加熱后閱讀。”

“I had seen such reports written in code, but never seen one done in aburidashi,” he told the BBC.

他告訴BBC:“我曾見過用密碼寫的論文，但從未見過aburidashi寫的論文。”

“To tell the truth, I had a little doubt that the words would come out clearly. But when I actually heated the paper over the gas stove in my house, the words appeared very clearly and I thought ‘Well done!’”

“說實話，我有點懷疑這些字是否能清楚地展示出來。但當我在家里的煤氣爐上加熱這張紙時，上面的字看起來非常清楚，我不由心想‘做得好!’”

While Yamada gave Haga full marks for her creative use of a ninja technique, he said he didn’t read the whole essay because he wanted to keep part of her work invisible.

雖然山田給了Haga滿分，因為她創(chuàng)造性地使用了忍者技術(shù)，但他說他沒有讀完整篇文章，因為他想讓她的部分作品保持隱形。
