ing-bottom: 80%;">潛水員海底發現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.
美國佛羅里達州一名潛水員在離岸一英里(約1.6千米),海底90英尺(約27.4米)的一個人工魚礁上發現了一張信用卡,這張卡片是他的一位朋友在25年前丟失的。

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.
西棕櫚灘的約翰•柯耶斯基告訴棕櫚灘郵報,他希望海底更加清潔,於是撿起沙中的卡片,發現是一張由彭尼公司(美國零售公司)發出的陳舊的卡片。浮出水面後經仔細查看,他發現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.
約翰•柯耶斯基打電話給住在德爾雷海灘的酒席承辦商傑克•雅各布斯。雅各布斯的太太稱,她和她丈夫從未有過彭尼公司的卡片,但是隨後雅各布斯回電表示,卡片的確是他的。

"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?"
“我告訴他,25年前我在戴維(佛羅里達州)住的時候把卡片弄丟了,那時我還沒有結婚。”雅各布斯說,“令人不解的是,它是怎樣漂到離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.
其中原因無人知曉。人工魚礁、百慕大三角通過貨船和駁船裝運相連在一起,中間的區域便是棕櫚灘。這卡片終究堪比“一輛古老的勞斯萊斯”。
