Ethel Lilian Voynich, a novelist and musician, was born in Ireland in 1864 and died in 1960.

艾捷尔·丽莲·伏尼契(Ethel Lilian Voynich 1864-1960)的代表作是《牛虻》。

Most people who have studied the Voynich manuscript agreed that Voynichese was too complex to be a hoax.

大多数研究过伏尼契手稿的人认为伏尼契文十分复杂，不可能是骗局。

Voynich immediately recognized the importance of his new acquisition.

伏尼契立刻认定这是极为重要的新发现。

Critics of this hypothesis have argued that Voynichese is too complex to be nonsense.

反对这个说法的人士则主张，伏尼契文如此复杂，不可能毫无意义。

Both techniques, however, produce scripts with much less repetition of words than Voynichese.

不过以这两种方法制作出来的文字，重复性都比伏尼契文低得多。

As a preliminary test, I applied this method to the research on the Voynich manuscript.

为了进行初步试验，我用这种方法分析伏尼契手稿的研究工作。

I found that this method could easily reproduce most of the features of Voynichese.

我发现，用这种方法可轻易仿造出伏尼契文大部份的特徵。

Choosing a syllable from each column in sequence would produce words with the characteristic structure of Voynichese.

依序从每栏选出一个音节，就可造出具伏尼契文特徵的字。

These characteristics make it unlikely that Voynichese is a human language- it is simply too different from all other languages.

这些特徵显示伏尼契文不大可能是人类语言，因为和其他语言差别实在太大了。

Voynichese is also much more complex than anything found in pathological speech caused by brain damage or psychological disorders.

伏尼契文也比脑部损伤或有心理疾病的患者所使用的病态语言复杂得多。

But I have recently discovered that one can replicate many of the remarkable features of Voynichese using a simple coding tool that was available in the16 th century.

但我最近发现，只要利用一种16世纪常见的简单编码工具，就可仿造出许多伏尼契文的特徵。

The assessment that the features of Voynichese are inconsistent with any human language was based on substantial relevant expertise from linguistics.

认为伏尼契文的特徵与人类语言不一致的说法，有大量的语言学相关专门知识做为后盾。

The text generated by this technique looks much like Voynichese, but it is merely gibberish, with no hidden message.

用这种方式制作出来的文字看起来相当接近伏尼契文，但是完全没有意义，也没有任何隐含的讯息。
