潜水员海底发现25年前信用卡
A Florida contractor found a credit card a friend lost 25 years earlier a mile offshore and 90 feet down on an artificial reef.
美国佛罗里达州一名潜水员在离岸一英里(约1.6千米),海底90英尺(约27.4米)的一个人工鱼礁上发现了一张信用卡,这张卡片是他的一位朋友在25年前丢失的。
John Krayeski of West Palm Beach told the Palm Beach Post he likes to leave the ocean floor tidier than he found it, so he picked up the card he saw in the sand. He recognized it as an old J.C. Penney card and then, when he had a chance to examine it more closely after he had surfaced, realized the name on it was familiar.
西棕榈滩的约翰•柯耶斯基告诉棕榈滩邮报,他希望海底更加清洁,于是捡起沙中的卡片,发现是一张由彭尼公司(美国零售公司)发出的陈旧的卡片。浮出水面后经仔细查看,他发现卡片上的名字很熟悉!
Krayeski called Jack Jacobs, a caterer who lives in Delray Beach. Jacobs' wife told him she and her husband had never had a J.C. Penney card, but Jacobs called back to say the card was indeed his.
约翰•柯耶斯基打电话给住在德尔雷海滩的酒席承办商杰克•雅各布斯。雅各布斯的太太称,她和她丈夫从未有过彭尼公司的卡片,但是随后雅各布斯回电表示,卡片的确是他的。
"I told him I'd lost that card 25 years ago when I was living in Davie, before I was married," Jacobs said. "The befuddling thing is, how did it get a mile offshore on some reef?"
“我告诉他,25年前我在戴维(佛罗里达州)住的时候把卡片弄丢了,那时我还没有结婚。”雅各布斯说,“令人不解的是,它是怎样漂到离岸一英里的暗礁上去的呢?”
That's a question no one can answer. The artificial reef, the Triangle, was put together from a freighter, a barge and -- this is the Palm Beach area, after all -- an old Rolls Royce.
其中原因无人知晓。人工鱼礁、百慕大三角通过货船和驳船装运相连在一起,中间的区域便是棕榈滩。这卡片终究堪比“一辆古老的劳斯莱斯”。
