5.Sugar Ray Robinson and Jimmy Doyle
5.舒格·雷·罗宾逊和吉米·多利
Champion boxer Sugar Ray Robinson made a bizarre prediction regarding his opponent's death. On June 25, 1947, he was supposed to fight Jimmy Doyle. In the days before the fight, Robinson made several complaints about a realistic dream he had where he killed Doyle in the fight with a left hook. The dream had troubled him so much that he made several attempts to back out of the fight.
"拳圣"舒格·雷·罗宾逊曾做了一个关于他对手之死的梦,这个梦诡异而灵验。1947年6月25日,罗宾逊对战吉米·多利。在赛前不久,罗宾逊就一再念叨说,他做了一个特别逼真的梦,梦见他在拳台上用一记左勾拳将多利打死了。这个梦让罗宾逊感到不安,他甚至好几次都想着要退出比赛。
A priest was brought in to reassure him that the dream wouldn't come true and that he should proceed with the fight, to which he eventually agreed. Robinson was winning the fight, and in the eighth round he delivered a massive left hook to Doyle's head, knocking him unconscious. As the referee deemed Robinson the winner, it was soon realized that Doyle was a lot more than just out cold. He was rushed to a hospital where he died without regaining consciousness. Robinson's dream had played out exactly as he had imagined it.
一位神父安抚罗宾逊,告诉他那只是个梦,不会成真的,劝他继续参加比赛,罗宾逊这才答应。比赛过程中,罗宾逊一直处于优势地位,在第八回合,罗宾逊一记左勾拳有力地击向多利的头,将其打倒在地,昏迷不醒。当裁判准备宣布罗宾逊为最后赢家时,大家才意识到倒地的多利不只是轻微的失去知觉。他被火速送往医院救治,然而却再也没有醒来,恰恰应验了罗宾逊的那个梦。
4.Pete Maravich
4.皮特·马拉维奇
Pete Maravich played basketball for both the Utah Jazz and Atlanta Hawks throughout the 1970s, and he's commonly regarded as one of the best basketball players of all time. In an interview with the Beaver County Times newspaper in 1974 Maravich made an odd comment regarding his death, saying, "I don't want to play 10 years in the NBA and die of a heart attack at 40." In what's either an incredible coincidence or a very sick joke, Maravich died in 1988, after 10 years in the NBA, at the age of 40. Even more disturbingly, Maravich died despite being in seemingly perfect health because he was suffering from a rare and undiagnosed heart condition after being born without his left coronary artery.
20世纪70年代,皮特·马拉维奇曾效力犹他爵士队(Utah Jazz)和亚特兰大老鹰队(Atlanta Hawks),被认为是史上最优秀的篮球运动员之一。1974年,在Beaver County Times报纸的采访中,马拉维奇曾说:"我可不想在NBA打十年球,然后40岁死于心脏病",这一奇怪的言论恰恰印证了其日后的死因。或许是纯属巧合,也或许是造化弄人,马拉维奇死于1988年,时年40岁,正巧效力NBA10年。更不可思议的是,马拉维奇虽然看着非常健康,但最后却死于一种无法诊断的罕见的心脏病,心脏先天缺少一条左冠状动脉。
3.Mark Twain
3.马克·吐温
While Mark Twain is most known for his accomplishments in writing, it's a little-known fact that he's also said to have accurately predicted his own death. Twain was born in 1835 following the appearance of Halley's Comet, which comes about once every 75 years. A year prior to his death in 1909, Twain reportedly said, "I came in with Halley's Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it. It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don't go out with Halley's Comet. The Almighty has said, no doubt: ‘Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together." Sure enough, the day following the comet's closest appearance to the Earth Twain had a heart attack, killing him on April 21, 1910, at the age of 75.
众所周知,马克·吐温以其文学成就闻名于世,但大家可能不知道他还曾准确预见了自己的死。土温出生于1835年,正巧赶上75年回归一次的哈雷慧星划过长空。据说在土温逝世的前一年1909年,他曾写下如是文字:"我在1835年与哈雷彗星同来。明年它将复至,我希望与它同去。如果不能与哈雷彗星一同离去,将为我一生中最大的遗憾。上帝无疑说过:兹有两种莫名其妙的怪物,他们既同来,就该同去。"巧的是,一年后的1910年4月21日,哈雷彗星到达距地球最近点的第二天,时年75岁的吐温心脏病病发而死。
2.Princess Diana
2.戴安娜王妃
In what seems to be more of a conspiracy theory than a prediction, it was recently discovered that Princess Diana predicted her demise months before it actually happened. A letter written by the Princess to her trusted butler, Paul Burrell, explained strange feelings she had about getting into some sort of car accident. It was thought that Diana had been given some information by people who were close to the Princess about a plot that was in the works against her.
戴安娜王妃的死,与其说是预言,不如说是一场阴谋论。不过最近有调查发现,戴安娜王妃在出事的好几个月前,就觉出了不详的预兆。她曾给自己特别信任的皇室管家保罗·伯勒尔(Paul Burrell)写过一封信,信中她说总觉得自己会死于一起车祸。据说有王子身边的亲信给戴安娜王妃传信,告诉她王子正在密谋准备"解决"她。
Written in October, 1996 following her separation from Prince Charles, she claimed, "This phase in my life is the most dangerous," and that someone was "planning an accident in my car." The letter even went as far as to name the individuals she thought would be responsible for the assassination. With the multitude of ways Princess Diana could have died or been assassinated, it seems odd that she died in the exact way she had expected. Now on one hand, the letter itself has been proven to be written in Diana's handwriting, but on the other it only surfaced when Burrell needed to market a book he wrote about her. Whether you call it conspiracy or coincidence you can't deny that it was a bizarre prediction.
戴安娜给管家的信写于1996年10月,与查尔斯解除婚约不久,她在信中写道:"这段时间是我一生中最危险的时期",有人"正在密谋一场致我于死的车祸"。在信里,黛安娜还把自己能想到的可能计划实施这场暗杀行动的人的名字写了下来。令人感到蹊跷的是,在那么多可以暗杀戴安娜的方式中,戴安娜真的就如自己料想般死于车祸。虽然已经证实这封信的确是戴安娜的字迹,但因为它是在管家伯勒尔准备出版其关于黛安娜生活的新书之际现世的,所以人们对该信的真实性仍有疑虑。不过,不管这是场阴谋还是纯属巧合,我们无法否认这个预言真的让人很匪夷所思。
1.Mikey Welsh
1.米奇·威尔什
Mikey Welsh, the bassist for Weezer, received a lot of media attention in 2011 after he supposedly predicted his death on Twitter based on a dream he had. Many years of drugs and battling personality disorders had taken their toll on the 40 year-old musician, though he had seemed in pretty good health. On September 26, 2011, Welsh tweeted that he had "dreamt I died in Chicago next weekend (heart attack in my sleep). Need to write my will today." He then quickly corrected his statement to "the weekend after next."
美国摇滚乐队Weezer的贝斯手米奇·威尔什曾在推特(Twitter)上发文,说他梦见自己即将离世,该预言最终应验,受到媒体广泛关注。虽然这位40岁的音乐家看上去很健康,但多年的药物滥用及精神崩溃已经透支了他的身体。2011年9月26日,威尔什发布了一条推特,写道"梦见自己下周会在芝加哥因心脏病而死亡,所以现在得赶紧立遗嘱了"。很快他又更正"不对,是下下周末"。
In addition to these odd predictions, he had made a recent Facebook post advertising a piece of $250 art he had made that said, "if I am still alive at time of purchase, price to increase exponentially if I expire prematurely." Welsh then died in a Chicago hotel room at the exact time he had predicted. While the police feel drugs may have been involved, the toxicology report was inconclusive and the exact reasons remain a mystery.
除了这些邪门的预言,威尔什生前还曾在脸书(Facebook)上发布过一条动态,给一幅他自己画的艺术作品标价250美元:"如果你买这画的时候我还活着,画就标价250美元;如果你买的时候我已死去,这幅画的价格将成倍增加"。没过多久,威尔什就在芝加哥的一间酒店里离奇暴毙,而时间恰巧是他所预言的那天。警方怀疑威尔什是服食过量毒品导致意外身亡,但毒理学检测报告还未证实,所以其确切死因至今仍是个迷。
