一封108岁的瓶中信 　　On November 30， 1906， George Bidder dropped a bottle from a boat into the North Sea. The weighted glass bottle sank almost to the sea floor， and then it moved slowly for 108 years and 138 days. 　　1906年11月30日，?讨巍け鹊掳岩桓銎孔哟右凰掖?上丢进了北海。这个有重量的玻璃瓶几乎沉没到海底，然后缓慢漂移了108年138天。 　　Its journey ended when Marianne Winkler found the bottle in 2015. Winkler was then on vacation on Amrum Island. She picked up the bottle when it was washed up onto the beach. She saw a piece of paper inside， but didn’t break it open. She could tell that the bottle was old， so she didn’t want to damage it. 　　2015年当玛丽安?温克勒发现瓶子的时候，它的旅程结束了。当时温克勒正在阿姆鲁姆岛上度假。当它被冲上海滩时，她把瓶子捡了起来。她看到有一张纸在里面，但她没有把瓶子砸开。她能看出瓶子是很旧的，所以她不想毁了它。 　　Finally， she got the piece of paper out of the bottle. She found that the paper was actually a postcard. On the back of the card there was this message： The Marine Biological Association would pay a shilling1 for the bottle.

The association was surprised to get a postcard addressed to George Bidder， the president of the association2 from 1939 to 1945. The workers of the association searched on the Internet to find a shilling. They found one and sent it to Winkler as a reward3. 　　温克勒填好了这张卡片寄了出去。该协会意外地收到一张寄给乔治?比德的明信片，寄明信片的人是该协会1939年至1945年的主席。该协会的工作人员在互联网上有哪些信誉好的足球投注网站寻找一个先令，找到一个之后把它送给温克勒作为奖励。 　　The message in the bottle was the oldest ever rediscovered. For this reason Marianne Winkler got a place in “Guinness World Records”. She broke the record for the oldest message in a bottle. 　　瓶子里的信息是迄今重新发现的最古老的信息。为此，玛丽安?温克勒获得了吉尼斯世界纪录。她打破了瓶子里最古老的信息的记录。 　　Winkler’s bottle was not the only one Bidder sent to the sea. Between 1904 and 1906， he sent away more than one thousand bottles. He placed postcards inside them. The bottles were part of a research project to map currents4 in the
