A camera which was accidentally lost in the North Sea has been reunited with its owner - after THREE YEARS adrift.
一部相机不小心丢失在了北海,在经过三年的漂流后,它居然又重新回到了主人的手里!
The Fuji camera was stored in a waterproof case when environmental consultant Adele Devonshire became separated from it in July 2013.
2013年7月,环境顾问Adele Devonshire将这部富士相机装在一个防水外壳里,后来丢失在北海。
And now, thanks to a social media campaign, it’s been returned to her after it was washed ashore 531 miles away from where it went missing - in Sweden.
现在,多亏了社交媒体,在距相机丢失地531英里远的地方——瑞典,相机被找到并已经还给了Adele。
The camera was found on the sparsely-populated island of Gullholmen by Lars Mossberg, one of its 100 inhabitants.
相机在人口稀少的的Gullholmen被Lars Mossberg捡到,他是岛上的100个居民之一。
He then posted images of the camera and from its memory card on a Facebook group called Lost At Sea on Friday.
然后,他于星期五将相机的外观图和在内存卡里找到的照片上传到了Facebook的一个群组——“迷失大海”。
"We have found a Fujicamera in a waterproof case. It has probably been floated from the English east coast to the Swedish west coast," Mr Mossberg wrote by way of explanation.
Mossberg为图片配上了这样的文字:“我们找到了一个带有防水外壳的富士相机,它可能是从英国的东海岸漂到瑞典的西海岸的。”
"The photos include family members and diving sites from different places around the word. The photo below is probably the owner. Please share if somebody recognise him [sic]."
“这些照片里,有一家人的生活照,有在世界不同地点的潜水照。下面的这张照片极有可能就是主人。如果有人认识他,请转发,谢谢。”
Within a day, Ms Devonshire responded on the page, which has around 2,646 members.
不到一天的功夫,Devonshire女士就看到了这条博文并回复。此时,文章已被分享了超过2646次。
"I’m pretty sure that’s my camera," she wrote on Saturday. "I lost it when diving off St Abbs over two years ago! The photos are my dad diving and my husband picking strawberries."
星期六,她写道,“我敢肯定这就是我的相机,两年前,我在圣阿布兹潜水时丢失的。这些照片是我爸爸的潜水照和我丈夫在采摘草莓的情景。”
The 37-year-old says her friend Jo let her know about Mr Mossberg’s find, explaining: "I still can’t believe it! To think it’s [been] bobbing around the sea all this time."
37岁的Devonshire女士说,是她的朋友乔告诉她的这个消息。她解释说:“我仍然无法相信!毕竟,这部相机已经在大海里漂了这么久。”
The mum-of-two from Colchester added that she had it when she went diving in July 2013 off St Abbs - and then realised it had gone: "After [the] dive I realised the camera was no longer attached to my kit. Guess the clip had snapped."
这位住在英国科尔切斯特市的Devonshire女士已经是两个孩子的妈妈,她补充说,2013年7月她去圣阿布兹潜水时还带着相机,后来才意识到它丢了:“潜水之后,我意识到相机不在我的包里了。我想应该是挂绳断了。”
She says she’s delighted to be able to get the camera back after the post was shared more than 2,966 times as it has some treasured photographs on it.
Adele说,在帖子被分享超过2966次后,能找回相机,她感到非常开心,因为相机里有很多珍贵的照片。
One poster on Facebook wrote: "Amazing find!" while another added: "Wow, sometimes you gotta say just wow! Wow it’s been found and how amazing the right people happened to see this post."
Facebook上一网友写道:“惊人的发现!”,另一人补充道:“哇,有时你真的只能感叹!丢失了这么久的相机能被发现就很令人吃惊了,巧合的是它的主人居然能看到这个帖子!”
