希臘開首家“水下博物館”
Greece has opened its very first underwater museum, where visitors will be able to explore an ancient shipwreck.
希臘首家“水下博物館”近日開放，遊客可以在這裏探索一艘古代沉船。
The unusual attraction sits off the coast of the island of Alonissos.
這個不尋常的景點坐落在阿隆索島的海岸邊。
The Peristera shipwreck actually takes its name from a nearby uninhabited island and was first discovered in the early 1990s.
實際上，“佩里斯特拉號”沉船是以附近一個無人島的名字命名的，首次於上世紀90年代初被發現。
The ship is believed to date to the 5th century, and is filled with archaeological gems for divers to discover, including the thousands of amphoras of wine when it crashed, hundreds of which can be found on the seabed.
據信，這艘船可以追溯到公元5世紀，船上裝滿了考古寶石，待潛水愛好者發現。船在沉沒時，船上裝有幾千只雙耳瓶，現在，海牀上還可以找到幾百只這樣的雙耳酒瓶。
The Underwater Museum of Peristera opened on Aug 1, but it currently isn't planned as a permanent exhibition, with divers invited to explore until early October.
佩里斯特拉水下博物館8月1日對公衆開放，但目前尚無計劃將其作爲永久性展覽，遊客潛水參觀的時間只持續到10月初。
For those who aren't divers or who prefer to stay on land, the museum has an information center offering virtual tours of the underwater site, complete with exhibitions around the history of the shipwreck and area.
對於那些不會潛水或喜歡呆在岸上的遊客，博物館有個信息中心，提供水下遺址的虛擬遊覽，以及關於沉船和當地歷史的展覽。
