10岁的孩子决定用瓶子来传递信息，令人惊讶的是，9年后又收到了这封信
When we were kids and we went to the beach, some of us dreamed of finding a washed-up bottle with a note inside. Perhaps with instructions on how to unlock our hidden superhero powers inside. Or a treasure map leading to a pirate hoard. Or a long-lost love letter from hundreds of years ago.
当我们还是孩子的时候，我们去了海滩，我们中的一些人梦想找到一个废弃的瓶子，里面有一张纸条。也许是关于如何开启我们内心隐藏的超级英雄力量的说明。或者是一张通往海盗宝藏的藏宝图。或是几百年前遗失已久的情书。
Max told the story of how back in 2010 he threw a bottle with a message in it into the ocean at a beach in Rockport, Massachusetts. Now, more than 9 years later, he found out that somebody found his message. Halfway around the world, in France!
麦克斯讲述了2010年他在马萨诸塞州Rockport的一个海滩上把一个装有信息的瓶子扔进海里的故事。现在，9年多过去了，他发现有人发现了他的信息。绕了半个地球，在法国!
Max’s tweet got a lot of attention. It was liked nearly half a million times in less than two days and was retweeted over 100,000 times. What’s more, Max got in contact with the person who found his message via Instagram! How amazing is that? Very.
麦克斯的推特引起了很多关注。这条推文在不到两天的时间里被点赞近50万次，被转发超过10万次。更重要的是，麦克斯和那个通过Instagram发现他信息的人取得了联系!这太神奇了。
Imgur user minPD0309, who helped make Max’s post viral, told Bored Panda that they thought he must have felt great “that not only did the bottle make it around the world as he had hoped, but also that someone took the time to open the bottle and write back with detailed maps.”
Imgur用户minPD0309,让麦克斯的推文走红,对Bored Panda说,他们认为他一定感觉很棒”,瓶子不仅如他所希望的在世界各地漂流,也有人花时间打开瓶子,回信详细地图。”
According to minPD0309, Max’s story was ‘sweet and endearing.’ “However, I asked my sister to do the same with my niece and she said she refuses to pollute the ocean any further. Sad that the state of our oceans will make sweet stories like this disappear over time.”
minPD0309表示，麦克斯的故事“甜蜜又可爱”。’”然而，我让姐姐对我的侄女做同样的事，她说她拒绝再污染海洋。可悲的是，随着时间的推移，我们的海洋状况会让这样的甜蜜故事消失。”

Humanity’s fascination with messages in bottles is widely documented. And some messages thrown into the ocean over a hundred years ago are being found just now.
人类对瓶中信息的迷恋被广泛记录下来。现在人们发现了一些一百多年前扔进海里的信息。
Probably the oldest message in a bottle ever to be found (so far) is almost 132 years old and was found on a remote beach in West Australia. According to the BBC, the note was written in 1886 on June 12 and was thrown from the German ship ‘Paula.’
迄今为止发现的最古老的漂流瓶可能有132年的历史，是在澳大利亚西部一个偏远的海滩上发现的。据英国广播公司报道，这张纸条写于1886年6月12日，是从德国的宝拉号船上扔下来的。
This bottle was part of the German Naval Observatory’s experiment into ocean and shipping routes. As part of the 69-year-long experiment, German researchers and officers threw thousands of bottles overboard, but only 662 messages have been returned so far. So looking for the missing bottles could be the perfect excuse for you to head to the beach this weekend.
这个瓶子是德国海军天文台在海洋和航线上的实验的一部分。作为这项长达69年的实验的一部分，德国研究人员和官员们向海中扔了数千个瓶子，但到目前为止，只有662条信息得到了回复。所以寻找丢失的瓶子可能是你周末去海滩的完美借口。
Previously, the Guinness world record for the oldest message in a bottle to be found was held by a 108-year-old bottle that was located in Amrum, Germany. Dear Pandas, if you’ve ever thrown a message in a bottle into the ocean or found one on the beach, we’d love to hear your story, so drop us a line in the comments.
此前，世界上最古老的漂流瓶吉尼斯世界纪录保持者是位于德国阿姆鲁姆的一个108岁高龄的漂流瓶。亲爱的熊猫们，如果你曾经把瓶子里的信息扔进大海，或者在海滩上捡到，我们很想听听你的故事，所以请在评论中给我们留言。
