《找到宝藏》，简·塞尔曼著

Introduction. On Saturday morning, you are busy cleaning your room. Under your bed, you discover a box. You look inside. You see a plastic ring, a birthday card with a dollar inside, a shell, and a postcard from a friend. You say, wow, I forgot about this stuff. You have just found treasure.

引子 周六早上，你正忙着打扫房间 你在床底下发现了一个盒子 你往盒子里面看 你看到一枚塑料戒指、一张夹着一美元的生日卡、一个贝壳，还有一张朋友寄来的明信片 你惊呼：哇，我都忘了这些东西了 你刚刚找到宝藏啦

Treasure hunting. Treasure is anything that someone thinks is valuable. Over the years, much treasure has been found. In 1922, Howard Carter found gold and gems in the tomb of ancient Egypt's King Tutankhamun. In 1874, Heinrich Schliemann dug up an ancient Greek city. In 1964, Robert Marx found a city, too, under the sea near the island of Jamaica. He also discovered thousands of silver coins.

寻宝之旅 宝藏就是任何人觉得珍贵的东西 这么多年来，人们已经找到了许许多多宝藏 1922年，霍华德·卡特在古埃及图坦卡蒙国王的陵墓里发现了黄金和宝石 1874年，海因里希·谢里曼挖出了一座古希腊城市 1964年，罗伯特·马克斯也在牙买加岛附近的海底找到了一座城市 他还发现了数千枚银币

In Florida, Kip Wagner picked up some Spanish coins called pieces of eight, which had washed up on the shore. He knew they had come from a shipwreck. He started to search the ocean floor. He wanted to find the shipwreck. Over time, he found sunken treasure worth millions of dollars.

在佛罗里达，基普·瓦格纳捡到了一些被冲上岸的西班牙银币，叫八里亚尔 他知道这些钱币来自一艘沉船 他开始搜索海底 他想要找到那艘沉船 久而久之，他找到了价值数百万美元的沉海宝藏

Sunken treasure is especially hard to find because it is underwater, yet people continue to search for treasure deep under the sea. A Spanish ship called the Atocha held one of the most famous sunken treasures. In 1622, a group of Spanish ships, including the Atocha, took on a cargo of gold, silver, coins, and gems. The ships left Havana, Cuba, headed for Spain. They sailed into the path of a great storm. The Atocha, and several of the other ships in the group, sank near the Florida Keys.

沉海宝藏藏在水下，格外难找，但人们依然不停地在深海搜寻宝藏 一艘叫阿托查号的西班牙船，载着最负盛名的沉海宝藏之一 1622年，包括阿托查号在内的一队西班牙船，装载了黄金、白银、钱币和宝石 船队离开古巴哈瓦那，驶向西班牙 它们不巧闯入了大风暴的路径 阿托查号和船队里另外几艘船，都沉没在了佛罗里达群岛附近

Spain sent ships to find the cargo from the sunken shipwrecks. Divers found the cannon from the Santa Margarita, one of the ships from the group. They could not find anything else because another storm had broken up that ship. They did not find any sign of the Atocha.

西班牙派出船只打捞沉船的货物 潜水员找到了圣玛格丽塔号的火炮，它也是这支船队的一员 他们找不到别的东西了，因为另一场风暴把船撞碎冲散了 他们没有找到任何阿托查号的踪迹
