一、正文翻譯
Black eyed kids (sometimes abbreviated as BEKs) are children who possess distinctively all-black eyes and a strange desire to invade the personal space of others. Black eyed kids are claimed to be a paranormal phenomenon, with theories ranging from demonic possession to alien/human hybridization.
The most famous BEK sighting was reported in 1998 by Brian Bethel of South Dakota, although this may not be the first BEK sighting. At approximately 10:00PM, Brian pulled into the parking lot at an old movie theater to write a check. He was surprised by two male children knocking at his car window. According to Mr. Bethel, they possessed all-black eyes and both appeared to be between 10 and 14 years old. However, he didn't notice their all-black eyes until they had demanded several times to be let into his car. Only when he felt himself subconsciously opening the door lock, he noticed that they had coal-black eyes. He immediately left the scene when they began shouting at him to let them in.
Since then, many more BEK sightings have been reported on the internet.
"黑眼睛的孩子"（Black eyed kids，有時簡寫為BEKs）是一類擁有獨特的全黑色眼睛、向他人提出奇怪的願望並侵入他人的私人空間的孩子。"黑眼睛的孩子"被當作是一種超自然現象，關於他們的理論，從認為他們是惡靈附身到外星人與人類雜交都有。
最有名的"黑眼睛的孩子"目擊報告發生在1998年的南達科他州，目擊者是布賴恩·伯特利，雖然這可能不是第一個目擊"黑眼睛的孩子"的事件。在大約晚上10點鐘，布萊恩駕車駛進一家舊戲院的停車場，當他正在寫一張支票時，他驚訝地發現兩名男孩在敲他的車窗。據伯特利先生稱，他們擁有全黑色的眼睛，年齡都似乎是在10至14歲之間。不過，一開始時他並沒有注意到這兩個孩子全黑色的眼睛，直到他們多次要求伯特利先生讓他們上車。當他下意識地打開車門的鎖，他才注意到這兩個孩子的眼睛像煤炭一樣黑。他立即開車離開了現場，當那兩個孩子開始朝他大喊，讓他們進來。
從那時起，越來越多的"黑眼睛的孩子"的目擊報告出現在網際網路上。
根據目擊報告畫的肖像畫：
Most witness reports described the black eyed kids as having the following characteristics:
1.Coal black eyes, including iris and sclera. They are almost always described as reflective.
2.Often teenage, and usually within the age range of 10 to 14.
3.Inspires a feeling of primal fear.
4.They ask to be invited inside; whether it's asking for a ride, asking to use the phone in the room, and so on. They become more and more aggressive as they are denied.
5.There is no data to indicate what happens if someone actually lets them in.
6.Sometimes the children wear clothes that are unusual for the era. (Mid-1970s clothing in the 1990s, for example.) On other occasions, they wear typical but non-descript clothing that would be suitable for a child that age.
7.Most sightings occur at dusk or at night.
8.Either very eloquent, or very silent, as per the Bethel sighting.
大多數目擊者報告中描述的"黑眼睛的孩子"，具有以下特點：
1.煤黑眼睛，包括虹膜和鞏膜。他們的眼睛幾乎總是被描述為會反光的。
2.通常十幾歲的樣子，且通常在10到14歲的年齡範圍內。
3.給人一種毛骨悚然的感覺。
4.他們會請求入內， 無論是要求搭車，或是要求使用屋裡的電話等等。如果被拒絕了，他們會變得越來越激進。
5.沒有數據表明如果有人真的讓他們進來將會發生什麼。
6.有時，這些孩子們穿的都是過時的衣服。（例如在上世紀90年代穿著70年代的服裝）在其他情況下，他們穿著很典型但對於孩童階段顯得不倫不類的服裝。
7.大多數目擊發生在黃昏或夜間。
8.他們不是口才很好，就是像伯特利目擊到的那樣很沉默。
Some non-paranormal explanations:
The stories may be fabricated or exaggerated.
Kids are wearing all-black sclera contacts. All-black sclera contacts are available for purchase and can produce an effect similar to that reported on BEKs. However, they are extremely expensive, running approximately $130 for just one lens and $260 for a full set.It would be unlikely that a pair of early teenagers could afford $500 worth of contacts for a one-time prank. It would also be difficult to wear these at night and for long periods of time.
一些解釋認為他們不是超自然事物：
這些目擊故事可能被捏造或誇大了。
這些孩子們都戴著全黑的美瞳。全黑色美瞳可以購買，並且能夠產生類似目擊報告所描述的"黑眼睛的孩子"的效果。然而，它們是非常昂貴的，只是一
這種美瞳大約需要130美元，全套則是260美元。一對少兒能買得起總共價值500美元的美瞳只為進行一次惡作劇是不可能的，在夜間長時間戴著這些也將是困難的。
