Should the wreckage of the Titanic be salvaged?

from 英语每日一听 | 每天少于5分钟

On the floor of the North Atlantic Ocean rests one of history's most fantastic failures, the unsinkable RMS Titanic.北大西洋的海底沉睡着历史上最不可思议的失败之一——永不沉没的皇家邮轮泰坦尼克号。The salvage firm RMS Titanic Incorporated has so far recovered more than 5,000 pieces of dinnerware and coins from the wreckage.到目前为止,打捞公司RMS Titanic Incorporated已经从残骸中找到了五千多件餐具和硬币。They say after all these years underwater, time is running out to dredge the Marconi wireless telegraph machine that transmitted the Titanic's frantic distress calls.他们说,由于在水下沉睡了这么多年,快没有时间打捞马可尼无线电报机了,也就是泰坦尼克号疯狂求救信号的发报机。RMS Titanic Incorporated's presidents Bretton Hunchak: The roof has degraded significantly and the wreck is essentially collapsing in upon itself.RMS Titanic Incorporated的总裁布雷顿·汉查克:其船顶已经严重退化,残骸也正在不断坍塌。So we're at a point where the Marconi is really in a detrimental area, where we believe in a short period of time, it will fall in upon itself, leaving the Marconi sort of to be lost to the seafloor.我们认为马可尼无线电报机正处于一个不利位置, 我们相信在短时间内船体残骸可能会坍塌, 马可尼无线电报机可能会沉没在海底。At the time the Titanic was the world's biggest ship. The luxury ocean liner set sail from London to New York, but struck an iceberg on April 14th,1912.当时泰坦尼克号是世界上最大的轮船,这艘豪华的远洋客轮从伦敦驶往纽约,但在1912年四月十四日撞上了冰山。The ship sent distress signals in Morse code using the relatively new Marconi wireless Telegraph.这艘船使用相对较新的马可尼无线电报机用摩尔斯电码发送求救信号。Less than three hours later, it's sank. Only 700 of the more than 2,000 people on board survived.不到三个小时后,它就沉没于海底。船上两千多人中只有七百人生还。The Marconi is sort of I believe this generation's next step, and I believe that bringing a tangible part of Titanic to the masses, as opposed to just a few people they get to go see it, really makes that story real for them.我相信马可尼无线电报机是这一代人的下一个探索目标,而且我觉得,把泰坦尼克号实实在在的一部分呈现给大众,而不只是让少数人有机会去参观,能让大众真切感受到那段故事。It's a human interest piece. It's an incredible piece of technology especially for its day.这是一件充满了人情气息的物品。这是一项令人难以置信的技术,特别是在当时。And it's the reason that I think the legacy of Titanic still exists in the strength that it does.这就是我认为泰坦尼克号的遗产仍然存在于它现存残骸中的原因。But outside of the Titanic Belfast Museum, not everyone shares Hunchak's quest to raise the Titanic or even parts of it, fearing the stress of extraction on the sunken ship.但在泰坦尼克号贝尔法斯特博物馆之外, 并不是每个人都像汉查克一样支持打捞泰坦尼克号,甚至是打捞泰坦尼克号的一部分, 因为他们担心打捞会给沉船带来巨大压力。Parliamentarian Gavin Robinson: We will learn nothing new. There are other Marconi videos just exactly the same, that are present and in other museums available throughout the world.国会议员加文·罗宾逊:我们不会得到其它新的信息。还有其它完全相同的马可尼无线电报机的视频, 就存放在世界各地的其它博物馆中。You can learn and understand without the need to go in and wreck and destroy.你可以去学习和理解,没必要进去破坏。Engineers built Titanic and it's tendered the SS Nomadic in Belfast.工程师们建造了泰坦尼克号,并使其与贝尔法斯特的游牧号一起离开。Today of battle wages in the United States, where the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration argues in court that,如今基于打捞工作展开了争论, 美国国家海洋和大气管理局在法庭上辩称,the retrieval run goes against previous court orders prohibiting the removal of anything from the ship itself.打捞工作违反了之前法院禁止从船上移走任何东西的命令。
