Bat Symbolism and Meaning蝙蝠的象征意义
If you’re seeking the wisdom of Bat Energy it’s a sign your higher-self is helping you sharpen your sense of ‘true seeing’.
如果你正在寻找蝙蝠的能量智慧，这标志着你的高我在帮你提升“真正看见”的感官感觉。
Toquote the very-dearly-missed Ted Andrews(author of “Animal Speak” and many other wonderful books); “The bat is one of the most misunderstood animals.”
引用泰德.安德鲁斯（《动物说话》和其他精彩书籍的作者）的原话，“蝙蝠是最容易被误解的动物之一”。
Because Bats come out at night they have long had emblematic ties to death and the underworld. When we look closer, however, we see that Bat (like all Mammals) lives inside the Mother’s womb from which it emerges, a symbolic renewal and new beginning. So much is the case that folk wisdom calls these creatures “Night’s Guardian”.
因为蝙蝠夜间出没，他们早就有与死亡和阴间的象征性关系。当靠近一些，我们却会看到蝙蝠（像所有的哺乳动物）在出生之前生活在妈妈的子宫里面，一个更新和新开始的象征。更多情况下民间智慧称这种动物为“夜间守护者”。
In nature,Bat is very nurturing, showing itself as socialized in its group. They have unique communication skills and stay close to family and young. While they might avoid humans, there is no lack of interaction among their own.
在自然界，蝙蝠很有教养，在群体中表现出社会化。它们有独特的沟通技巧，和家庭、幼儿亲近。虽然它们可能有意躲避人类，但是它们自己之间的沟通并没有缺乏。
In fact, Bats are so “touchy-feely” with their own family, it could be said that these creatures of the night are actually “cuddly”.
事实上，蝙蝠和自己的家庭互动频繁过于矫情，可以这么说这些夜行动物事实上很“可爱”。
Because of their warm, sweet nature Bat symbolism is a deeply soulful reminder that we should never judge a book by its cover.
因为它们温暖、甜蜜的天性，蝙蝠象征着一种深情，提醒我们绝不能以貌取人。
To hunt, many species of Bat require echolocation. This is a very precise ability and gives Bat the meaning of uncovering the hidden and attunement to vibrational frequencies. Adding to their ability to find prey, Bat wings are well suited to simple movements – they are, in fact, structured a bit like our fingers spreading out to discover what’s hiding in the darkness of our lives.
捕食时，许多种类的蝙蝠需要回声定位。这是一种非常精准的能力，赋予蝙蝠发现隐藏和协调的振动频率的意义。让它的捕猎能力更强的是蝙蝠的翅膀非常适合简单的动作。事实上它们的结构有点像展开我们的手指去发现生活中的黑暗到底隐藏着什么。
In Shamanism Bat medicine ties directly with the Shaman’s ability to walk between the worlds. Bat represents both death and life, endings and beginnings. Flying with the Bat means trusting your psychic gifts and having confidence in yourself.
在萨满教，蝙蝠药与萨满在不同世界行走的能力直接相关。蝙蝠代表着死亡和生活，结束和开始。与蝙蝠飞行意味着相信你的灵性天赋、对自己有信心。
European stories associate Bat Spirit with magical creatures including witches and vampires, which at that time wasn’t a positive status. However the Bat as a familiar in modern times is far more positive, even representing good luck.
西方故事将蝙蝠精神与神奇动物联系起来，比如巫婆和吸血鬼，这在当时是不积极的。然而，现在蝙蝠被众人熟知，表现的意义越来越积极，甚至代表着好运气。
Bat Spirit Animal神圣动物蝙蝠
If Bat has made its presence known as your Spirit Animalbe ready for major transitions.
如果蝙蝠作为你的神圣动物存在，意味着要做好重大转变的准备。
Bats are highly sensitive animals. Bat will urge you to keep all your senses on alert so that you gather the signs and omens the Universe is giving you.
蝙蝠是非常敏感的动物。蝙蝠会督促你让所有的感官警觉，去收集宇宙给你的迹象和征兆。
As your Spirit Animal, Bat will help you strengthen your natural capacity to “see” with all 6 senses. If Bat keeps showing up in your awareness, take some time to clean and refine your taste, sight, touch, smell, hearing, and, of course, your clairvoyant or psychic abilities.
作为神圣动物，蝙蝠将帮助你增强所有6种感官“看见”的自然能力。如果蝙蝠不断出现在你的意识中，需要一些时间来清理和完善你的味觉、视觉、触觉、嗅觉、听觉，当然，和你的透视或超自然能力。
Note that while Bat can symbolize death, as a Spirit Animal,it does not have to be a literal death. Instead something may end – a job, a living space, a relationship or even outmoded thoughts about yourself and your role in the greater scheme of things. Bat is here to make this change as smooth as possible and ease you through any associated pain.
请注意，因为蝙蝠作为神圣动物象征着死亡，它不必是字面上的死亡。相反的，有些东西可能要结束了——工作、生活空间、一段关系或者陈旧的思想（关于你自己，自己在更大计划中的角色）。蝙蝠在这里帮助你使得这些变化尽可能顺利，减轻相关的痛苦。
Bat Totem Animal蝙蝠图腾
Those born with a Bat Totem have uncanny perceptions. Don’t try to fool them with disguises – it won’t work. In fact, it will usually blow up in your face because Bat has no time for such deception.
出生带有蝙蝠图腾的人具有不可思议的感知能力。不要试图掩盖欺骗他们，这行不通。事实上，他们通常当面就发怒因为蝙蝠容不得这样的欺骗。
Bats are super social animals. People who identify with Bat as their Totem Animal want to always be surrounded by family and friends with whom they can communicate honestly and openly – especially without others fearing their psychic sensitivities.
蝙蝠是超级群居动物。认同蝙蝠作为图腾动物的人们需要总是被家人和能够真诚公开交流的朋友围绕着，尤其不要有人害怕他们的敏感灵性。
If you have a Bat Totem you are an excellent communicator who knows how to change the direction of a conversation when necessary and adapt on a dime.
如果你有蝙蝠图腾，那你会是优秀的沟通者，知道必要时如何改变谈话的方向，在细微的地方调整。
When in a group you know how to be an active listener, giving everyone a voice. Because of this, you’ll likely have very few (if any) “emotional collisions” with others.
在团队中你知道如何做一个积极的倾听者，回应每个人的声音。正因为如此，你几乎不会（即使有也极少）与别人有“情感上的碰撞”。
Your perceptions make you wise and diligent, often being the initiator of new things or the one who cleans up afterward.
你的感知能力让得你聪明、勤奋，往往是新事物的创始人或者事后清理的那个人。
