A romantic message-in-a-bottle discovered by a mother and daughter at a Socttish beach has sparked a mystery about whether it could have travelled 5,000 miles across the seas from China. 一对母女在苏格兰海滩捡到的漂流瓶引发了人们的猜疑：这只漂流瓶是如何穿越5000英里的大海，从中国漂到苏格兰的。 Nicola MacFarlane, 41, and daughter Lucy, four, from Portobello, near Edinburgh, were scouring Portobello Beach when they came across an old glass bottle sticking out of the sand containing a note inside written in Mandarin. 41岁的Nicola MacFarlan和4岁的女儿Lucy 来自爱丁堡附近波多贝罗，当时她们正在清洁波多贝罗海滩，突然发现这个藏在沙子里的玻璃瓶，瓶子里装有一封中文写的信。 Now the family are trying to work out if the letter has managed the extraordinary journey across the Philippine Sea, into the Indian Ocean and through both the South Atlantic and the North Atlantic Ocean's before washing up on the shores of Great Britain. 现在这家人正在试图搞清楚这封信的神奇之旅，它是如何穿越菲律宾海进入印度洋，再穿越南北大西洋海域飘到英国海滩的。 It is unclear when the letter was sent off, as it was written on Chinese Valentine's Day, or Qixi Festival as it is more traditionally known, which falls on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. 这封信是什么时候被扔进海里的还不得而知，但是它写于中国的传统情人节七夕，也就是农历的七月初七。 |
