Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos announced Friday the discovery of a Spanish boat that sank with a massive cargo hold of treasure 300 years ago.
哥倫比亞總統(tǒng)胡安·曼努埃爾星期五宣布，發(fā)現(xiàn)一艘300年前裝有大量寶藏的西班牙沉船。
The San Jose has been called the "holy grail of shipwrecks." Its treasure is estimated to be worth somewhere between $4 billion and $17 billion.
圣荷西號被稱為“沉船的圣杯”。其價值估計介于40億美元到170億美元。
However, ownership of that ridiculously valuable treasure has been hotly contested. Sea Search Armada, an American company, claims it was under contract with the Colombian government to search for the San Jose and was promised a portion of its treasure.
然而，寶藏財富的所有權(quán)一直備受爭議。一家美國公司的海上搜索艦隊聲稱是與哥倫比亞政府共同尋找圣荷西號，并承諾獲得部分寶藏。
Legal battles over this kind of sunken treasure aren't uncommon. Odyssey Marine Exploration uncovered $600 million in sunken treasure in the Atlantic in 2007, but a court ruled it had to hand it all over to Spain.
這種沉船寶藏的法律斗爭并不少見。2007年奧德賽海洋探險公司在大西洋發(fā)現(xiàn)了價值6億美元的寶藏，但法院裁定必須全部交付給西班牙。
The legal fight over the San Jose's treasure still isn't over, so it's not clear if Colombia will get to keep all the treasure or hand some of it over.
圣荷西號寶藏的法律斗爭還沒有結(jié)束，所以哥倫比能否保留所有寶藏或是移交一部分出去還尚不清楚。
