Bat Symbolism and Meaning蝙蝠的象征意義
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’.
如果你正在尋找蝙蝠的能量智慧，這標志著你的高我在幫你提升“真正看見”的感官感覺。
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.安德魯斯（《動物說話》和其他精彩書籍的作者）的原話，“蝙蝠是最容易被誤解的動物之一”。
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”.
因為蝙蝠夜間出沒，他們早就有與死亡和陰間的象征性關系。當靠近一些，我們卻會看到蝙蝠（像所有的哺乳動物）在出生之前生活在媽媽的子宮里面，一個更新和新開始的象征。更多情況下民間智慧稱這種動物為“夜間守護者”。
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，蝙蝠很有教養，在群體中表現出社會化。它們有獨特的溝通技巧，和家庭、幼兒親近。雖然它們可能有意躲避人類，但是它們自己之間的溝通并沒有缺乏。
In fact, Bats are so “touchy-feely” with their own family, it could be said that these creatures of the night are actually “cuddly”.
事實上，蝙蝠和自己的家庭互動頻繁過于矯情，可以這么說這些夜行動物事實上很“可愛”。
Because of their warm, sweet nature Bat symbolism is a deeply soulful reminder that we should never judge a book by its cover.
因為它們溫暖、甜蜜的天性，蝙蝠象征著一種深情，提醒我們絕不能以貌取人。
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.
捕食時，許多種類的蝙蝠需要回聲定位。這是一種非常精準的能力，賦予蝙蝠發現隱藏和協調的振動頻率的意義。讓它的捕獵能力更強的是蝙蝠的翅膀非常適合簡單的動作。事實上它們的結構有點像展開我們的手指去發現生活中的黑暗到底隱藏著什么。
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.
在薩滿教，蝙蝠藥與薩滿在不同世界行走的能力直接相關。蝙蝠代表著死亡和生活，結束和開始。與蝙蝠飛行意味著相信你的靈性天賦、對自己有信心。
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.
西方故事將蝙蝠精神與神奇動物聯系起來，比如巫婆和吸血鬼，這在當時是不積極的。然而，現在蝙蝠被眾人熟知，表現的意義越來越積極，甚至代表著好運氣。
Bat Spirit Animal神圣動物蝙蝠
If Bat has made its presence known as your Spirit Animalbe ready for major transitions.
如果蝙蝠作為你的神圣動物存在，意味著要做好重大轉變的準備。
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.
蝙蝠是非常敏感的動物。蝙蝠會督促你讓所有的感官警覺，去收集宇宙給你的跡象和征兆。
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.
作為神圣動物，蝙蝠將幫助你增強所有6種感官“看見”的自然能力。如果蝙蝠不斷出現在你的意識中，需要一些時間來清理和完善你的味覺、視覺、觸覺、嗅覺、聽覺，當然，和你的透視或超自然能力。
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.
請注意，因為蝙蝠作為神圣動物象征著死亡，它不必是字面上的死亡。相反的，有些東西可能要結束了——工作、生活空間、一段關系或者陳舊的思想（關于你自己，自己在更大計劃中的角色）。蝙蝠在這里幫助你使得這些變化盡可能順利，減輕相關的痛苦。
Bat Totem Animal蝙蝠圖騰
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.
出生帶有蝙蝠圖騰的人具有不可思議的感知能力。不要試圖掩蓋欺騙他們，這行不通。事實上，他們通常當面就發怒因為蝙蝠容不得這樣的欺騙。
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.
蝙蝠是超級群居動物。認同蝙蝠作為圖騰動物的人們需要總是被家人和能夠真誠公開交流的朋友圍繞著，尤其不要有人害怕他們的敏感靈性。
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.
如果你有蝙蝠圖騰，那你會是優秀的溝通者，知道必要時如何改變談話的方向，在細微的地方調整。
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.
在團隊中你知道如何做一個積極的傾聽者，回應每個人的聲音。正因為如此，你幾乎不會（即使有也極少）與別人有“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.
你的感知能力讓得你聰明、勤奮，往往是新事物的創始人或者事后清理的那個人。
