也門漁民在鯨魚(yú)的腹中開(kāi)出了價(jià)值百萬(wàn)美元的頭獎(jiǎng)
Fishermen in Yemen hit million-dollar jackpot in whale’s belly譯文簡(jiǎn)介
2021年2月,一群也門漁民在自己發(fā)現(xiàn)的一具漂浮的鯨魚(yú)尸體中開(kāi)出了頭獎(jiǎng),一塊價(jià)值超過(guò)150萬(wàn)美元的龍涎香。
正文翻譯
A group of fishermen in Yemen has hit the jackpot when they found a floating whale carcass in February 2021, containing a lump of ambergris worth more than US$1.5 million. Also known as “floating gold”, ambergris is a rare substance found only in the belly of sperm whales and is used to make perfume. The sale of the rare treasure has helped lift the fishermen and their local community out of poverty.
2021年2月,一群也門漁民在自己發(fā)現(xiàn)的一具漂浮的鯨魚(yú)尸體中開(kāi)出了頭獎(jiǎng),一塊價(jià)值超過(guò)150萬(wàn)美元的龍涎香。龍涎香也被世人稱為“海上浮金”,它是一種只存在于抹香鯨的腹部,能夠被用來(lái)制造香水的罕見(jiàn)物質(zhì)。出售這份稀有的珍寶所得來(lái)的錢讓這些漁民和當(dāng)?shù)厣鐓^(qū)就此擺脫了貧困。

I pray this doesn't lead to others being greedy and assuming that you will always find this in a whale leading to it being hunted to extinction.
我祈禱這件事情不會(huì)驅(qū)使其他人變得貪婪,讓他們以為人們總能在鯨魚(yú)身上發(fā)現(xiàn)龍涎香,從而導(dǎo)致這種鯨魚(yú)被獵殺至絕種。
not whale hunting but dolphin hunting is as sad too try documentary The Cove
我想的事情無(wú)關(guān)鯨魚(yú)捕獵,但是海豚捕獵的問(wèn)題也十分揪心,你們?nèi)タ匆幌潞k酁尺@部紀(jì)錄片。
Stop the Japanese
阻止日本人
the Japanese aren't hunting whales... they are conducting scientific research...
日本人沒(méi)有在捕殺鯨魚(yú)噢,他們只是在做科學(xué)研究...
@Tom Ffrost "scientific" "research"
Tom Ffrost “科學(xué)”“研究”
@soluiz yes... they only sell the meat after they are done doing "scientific" "research" so it doesn't go to waste.
@soluiz 是啊,他們只是在拿鯨魚(yú)做了“科學(xué)研究”以后順便把鯨魚(yú)肉賣了而已,這樣才不會(huì)浪費(fèi)。

Pretty sure lot of perfume company know this. So it's actually nothing new.
很多香水公司都知道整個(gè)事兒,所以這并不是什么新鮮事。
they already knew about this ever since they started fishing
他們從開(kāi)始捕魚(yú)的第一天便知道龍涎香的存在了。
@u dumb u can't stop the hunters that are already there,I hope this information doesn't reel in new ones looking for a fast buck.
@u dumb 你無(wú)法阻止本來(lái)就已經(jīng)存在的獵人,但我希望這個(gè)事情不會(huì)將那些想要賺些快錢的人們吸引過(guò)來(lái)。
Wow so pretentious. You assume they know little but it’s you who is ignorant.
哇哦,太自命不凡了吧,你以為別人對(duì)此所知甚少,但其實(shí)你才是無(wú)知的那個(gè)。
I'm so glad that the money was shared between everyone
我看高興看到他們所有人平分了這筆錢。
I read that Ambergris price is around US$50,000/kg, so 127 kg is worth US$6,350,000 .. that businessman made a lot of profit from this deal
我之前在網(wǎng)上看過(guò)龍涎香的價(jià)格為5萬(wàn)美元一公斤,所以這塊127公斤的龍涎香價(jià)值635萬(wàn)美元。那個(gè)商人從中大賺了一筆啊。

That's why he is the businessman and not a fisherman
這便是他是個(gè)商人,而非漁夫的理由。
That's how trade is done. From source to consumer, the price increases many folds.
交易就是這么做的。一種產(chǎn)品從貨源到消費(fèi)者,價(jià)格會(huì)上漲好幾倍。
That businessman could have simply bought that for just 50k but he didn't, most businessman will buy things dirtcheap just for profit, it aint that bad.
那個(gè)商人本可以只花5萬(wàn)美元就把這塊龍涎香買下來(lái),但他沒(méi)有這么做,大多數(shù)商人為了盈利會(huì)將收購(gòu)價(jià)壓得很低,所以這并沒(méi)有那么糟糕。
I would have offered them $1000 and taken all of it and then killed them and got the $1000 back. That is how you do business.
我會(huì)在給這些漁夫1000美元后拿走所有這些龍涎香,之后我還會(huì)去把他們?nèi)細(xì)⒌?,拿回這1000美元,這才是做買賣的手段。
The big winner is the guy who bought the Ambergris for less than half of the market value.
大贏家是那個(gè)以不到市價(jià)一半的價(jià)格買下這些龍涎香的家伙。
Should've waited for the French, they always give high prices for ambergris.
他們應(yīng)該等法國(guó)人過(guò)來(lái)收購(gòu),他們總會(huì)給龍涎香開(kāi)出高價(jià)。
@Robin Truby at that point they'll be risking their life. Once news gets out, someone or a group with guns might raid them before taking the ambergris. It's totally not worth it
@Robin Truby 他們真這么做的話就是在以自己的生命冒險(xiǎn)了。一旦事情傳出去,某些攜帶槍支的個(gè)人或者團(tuán)體很可能會(huì)襲擊他們,搶走龍涎香。所以這么做并不值得。

I learned about Ambergris on the cartoon network series, "The Misadventures of Flapjack". I haven't regret watching that series once.
我曾經(jīng)在動(dòng)畫片《杰克和鯨魚(yú)的大冒險(xiǎn)》中了解過(guò)龍涎香,那是一部我看了以后永遠(yuǎn)都不會(huì)后悔的劇。
Imagine if everyone was greedy about the ambergris the town would have gone into a civil warfare right there.
想象一下吧,如果他們當(dāng)中有人對(duì)龍這東西產(chǎn)生了貪念,那么整個(gè)小鎮(zhèn)都將會(huì)陷入一場(chǎng)內(nèi)戰(zhàn)之中。
And now people have known the worth of the whale's belly. Hope that they will not be greedy and will not start to hunt whales
如今人們知道了鯨魚(yú)的肚子所蘊(yùn)含的價(jià)值,希望他們不會(huì)為了滿足自己的貪婪而開(kāi)始捕殺鯨魚(yú)。
Too late. The fishing industry is the result of more than 50% of plastic in the ocean. Watch Seaspiracy on Netflix this documentary exposes the fishing industry.
太遲了,海洋中50%的塑料垃圾都是由捕漁業(yè)造成的,你們?nèi)etflix看看一部叫“海洋陰謀”的紀(jì)錄片,它揭露了捕魚(yú)業(yè)陰暗的那面。
A lot of perfume companies looking for this
很多香水公司都在尋找這種東西。
Here in the Philippines, they would say the Government owns that :(
這要是發(fā)生在我們菲律賓,政府會(huì)聲稱自己擁有這些龍涎香。:(
I bet what the guy bought it for is less than half price
我敢打賭那家伙僅用不到市價(jià)一半的成本買下了這些龍涎香。
yea, it worth around US$6.35 millions (US$50k/kg)
確實(shí),它價(jià)值635百萬(wàn)美元,5萬(wàn)美元一公斤
The guy who bought the ambergris from the fishermen probably had to pay a lot of money for cargo and papers, not to mention bribes. After that, he would have to contact potential buyers and bring samples to interested parties, which incurs more costs.
那位從漁民那里購(gòu)入龍涎香的人很可能需要在貨運(yùn)和文書(shū)上花一大筆錢,更別提他還需要花錢賄賂官員。在這之后他還必須去聯(lián)系潛在的賣家,把樣品帶去給有興趣的人看,這些都會(huì)增加他的成本。
I myself being a fisherman's boy.. I can understand his love for the sea
我自己就是一名漁夫的兒子,我能理解他對(duì)海洋的熱愛(ài)。
ㄒ卄卂ㄖ
我很高興看到他拿到了這筆錢---他看起來(lái)確實(shí)挺需要錢的。

they probably could have sold it for higher but nvm, its already alot for them
他們也許可以以更高的價(jià)格出售這些龍涎香,但無(wú)所謂啦,這對(duì)他們而言已經(jīng)是一筆巨款了。

This video didn’t mention that not all ambergris are found inside whales. Most of them are vomited or expelled as faecal matter by whales and usually found floating in the sea.
這個(gè)視頻沒(méi)有提及并非所有的龍涎香都是在鯨魚(yú)體內(nèi)發(fā)現(xiàn)的。其實(shí)它們中的大多數(shù)都是漂浮在海上的鯨魚(yú)嘔吐物或者排泄物。
Sad for the whale
Happy that the fishmen got $$ to improve their lives
我為鯨魚(yú)感到難過(guò),也為拿到這筆錢后提升了自己生活水平的漁民們感到高興。

Thankfully some of them will use the money to build or fix their homes. The ones being featured in the video looked so rundown. They really hit the jackpot this time.
謝天謝地,他們中的一些人可以用這筆錢建造或者修繕自己的房子。視頻中出現(xiàn)的那些房子實(shí)在太簡(jiǎn)陋了。他們這次真是中了頭獎(jiǎng)啊。
Ambergris is VERY RARE which means you will Not find this in all whales so please do not start hunting them to try and get quick cash
龍涎香是非常罕見(jiàn)的,這意味著人們無(wú)法在所有的鯨魚(yú)體內(nèi)發(fā)現(xiàn)這種物質(zhì),所以請(qǐng)不要為了賺些快錢而開(kāi)始獵殺他們。
So I should cancel the spear gun I just ordered from Amazon?
那我應(yīng)該去取消自己剛剛在亞馬遜下單的魚(yú)叉槍嗎?
I'm soo happy for them
我實(shí)在太為他們感到高興了。
Unfortunate the whale dies but glad the people got money and it didnt go to waste hope people dont start hunting them for this tho
鯨魚(yú)死了,這很不幸,但很高興看到這些人拿到了錢,它的生命沒(méi)有被浪費(fèi),不過(guò)希望人們不會(huì)因此開(kāi)始捕殺鯨魚(yú)。
This happen also in the Philippines but I think the government confiscated the ambergris. Poor fellas i think they did not get any money.
這種事情也曾發(fā)生在菲律賓,不過(guò)我想政府沒(méi)收了龍涎香。那些可憐的家伙們,我想他們一分錢都沒(méi)拿到。
And now that businessman went on to sell it at 10 times the price bought. I hate middleman
現(xiàn)在那個(gè)商人將以十倍的價(jià)格賣掉它,我討厭中間人。
OK, I'm going to fly there and be fisherman now
My daily 9-5 job won't land me with USD1.5M
好吧,我現(xiàn)在就飛到那里去當(dāng)漁民。我如今這份朝九晚五的工作可不會(huì)讓我賺到150萬(wàn)美刀。
if the whale is already dead by natural causes than I am ok with them using it's body for money. I'm actually happy to see that these men will be able to make a huge change in their life
如果這條鯨魚(yú)是自然死亡的話,我不會(huì)介意他們用鯨魚(yú)的尸體賺錢。我實(shí)際上很高興看到這幫人能夠在自己的生活中迎來(lái)如此巨大的變化。
