一个来自50年前的漂流瓶

阿拉斯加男子发现一个由俄罗斯水手50年前写的漂流瓶

An Alaska man found a piece of history along a local shoreline — a 50-year-old message in a bottle written by a Cold War Russian sailor, according to a new report.

据最新报道，一名阿拉斯加男子在一条当地海岸线上发现了一段历史，这是一条50年前的信息，一个冷战时期俄罗斯水手把它装进了漂流瓶。

Tyler Ivanoff was with his children when he made the curious find near the city of Shishmaref on Aug. 5, the Anchorage Daily News reported.

据《安克雷奇每日新闻》报道，8月5日，泰勒·伊万诺夫带着孩子们在希什马雷夫市附近发现了这个奇怪的东西。

“I was just gathering firewood; everyone was just kind of picking berries,” Ivanoff told the paper. “I just happened to stumble across the bottle, and I noticed it was a green bottle and had a cork top. Not really cork, it was a tight cap, and I could see inside the bottle there was a note.”

伊万诺夫对报纸说：“我在收集柴火，其他人都在采摘浆果。”“我偶然发现了一个瓶子，我注意到它是一个绿色的瓶子，上面有一个软木塞。不是真的软木塞，它是一个很紧的盖子，我可以看到瓶子里有一张纸条。”

Two pieces of paper were inside the bottle, he said.

他说瓶子里有两张纸。

“My kids were pretty excited,” Ivanoff told the outlet. “They were wondering if it was a pirate’s note or treasure.”

“我的孩子们都很兴奋，”伊万诺夫告诉电视台。“他们想知道这是海盗的钞票还是宝藏。”

When Ivanoff took a closer look, he found that the first piece of paper was blank and a handwritten note was scrawled on the second one.

伊万诺夫仔细看了看，发现第一张纸是空白的，第二张纸上手写的便条。

Ivanoff took Russian in high school and college and could make out the letters in the nearly perfectly preserved note — but did not know enough of the language to translate it, he said. So he took to Facebook, in hopes of finding someone to make sense of the mystery message.

伊万诺夫高中和大学时学过俄语，能从几乎保存完好的字条上辨认出这些字母，但他对俄语的翻译还不够。于是他来到了Facebook，希望能找到一个能理解这条神秘信息的人。

“I found a message in a bottle today,” he wrote. “Any friends that are Russian translators out there?”

他写道：“我今天在一个瓶子里发现了一条信息。有朋友是俄语翻译吗?“

The message quickly racked up more than a thousand shares — and Russian speakers reposted it on various platforms.

这条消息很快就被分享了一千多次，讲俄语的人在各种平台上转发了这条消息。

Ultimately, translators determined that it was a greeting from the Russian navy from 1969.

最终，翻译人员认定这是来自1969年俄罗斯海军的问候。

“Sincere greetings!” the message said. “From the Russian Far East Fleet mother ship VRXF Sulak. I greet you who finds the bottle and request that you respond to the address Vladivostok -43 BRXF Sulak to the whole crew. We wish you good health and long years of life and happy sailing. 20 June 1969.”

“真诚的问候!”留言说。“来自俄罗斯远东舰队的母船VRXF SULAK。我向找到瓶子的你们问好，你可以回复海参崴-43 Brxf Sulak的地址，收件人是全体船员。祝您健康长寿，航行愉快。1969年6月20日。”

Russia 1, the state-owned Russian media network, tracked down the actual letter writer— Capt. Anatoliy Botsanenko.

俄罗斯国有媒体网络俄罗斯1号(Russia 1)找到了真正的写信人——上尉阿纳托利·博特萨年科(Anatoliy Botsanenko)。

He examined it for a moment before he became teary-eyed, realizing that he indeed had written the half-century-old message.

他仔细看了一会儿，泪水夺眶而出，意识到自己确实写下了这封有半个世纪历史的信。

“It looks like my handwriting,” Botsanenko told the outlet. “Really … looks like. But I’m not sure. Wait … For sure! East industry fishing fleet! E-I-F-F!”

“看起来像我的笔迹，”博萨南科告诉记者。“真的……看起来像。但我不确定。等等……当然!东工业渔船队!E-I-F-F!“

“Yes!” he exclaimed. “I always wrote like that.”

“是的!“他叫道。“我总是这样写。”

He told the Russian outlet that he was once the youngest captain in the Pacific at 33 years old.

他告诉俄罗斯媒体，他曾是太平洋地区年龄最小的船长，当时33岁。

He sent the message from the Sulak, a ship whose construction he said he oversaw in 1966 and sailed on until 1970.

他从Sulak号船上发出了这一信息。他说，他在1966年监督了这艘船的建造，并一直航行到1970年。

Meanwhile, Ivanoff said he’s not sure if he’ll respond after all these years — but the unique find did spark some inspiration for him.

与此同时，伊万诺夫说，他不确定这些年后是否还能有所回应，但这一独特的发现确实为他激发了一些灵感。

“That’s something I could probably do with my kids in the future,” Ivanoff told the Anchorage Daily News. “Just send a message in a bottle out there and see where it goes.”

伊万诺夫对安克雷奇日报说：“这是我将来可能会和孩子们一起做的事。”“只要在瓶子里发一条信息，看看它会去哪儿。”
