尋寶家族發現沉海寶藏
Family found gold from Spanish shipwreck
A family of treasure hunters in Florida say they found a golden pyx -- a eucharist case -- from a shipwrecked 16th century Spanish galleon, local media reported Tuesday.
美國佛羅里達州媒體周二報導，該地區的一個尋寶獵人家族表示，在一艘沉沒的16世紀西班牙大型帆船發現一只金質聖餐盒。
The Schmitt family told Orlando's WKMG television they found the golden pyx, which they said was used to transport a eucharist, in a 1715 wreck off today's Fort Pierce.
施密特家族向奧蘭多的WKMG電視台表示，他們發現了金聖餐盒。他們指出，在匹爾斯堡外海一艘1715年的沉船之中，找到這個曾經用來裝盛聖餐的盒子。
The vessel was carrying treasure from Spain's colonies in Latin America back to Spain, when it sunk during a hurricane.
這艘帆船從西班牙在拉丁美洲的殖民地載寶物返國的路上，遇到暴風雨沉沒。
It is not the first time the family has made a rich find: just last year the residents of Sanford, Florida, found gold chains and gold coins worth some $500,000 in September 2013, the network said.
電視台報導，這不是尋寶家族頭一回發現大寶藏：住在佛州山福德的這一家子尋寶獵人，去年9月發現金項鍊與金幣，價值50萬美元。
