美國《時(shí)代》周刊19日文章：她的故事永恒：“泰坦尼克”號幸存者出售自己的故事這艘滿載夢想（以及夢魘）的巨型游輪通過一名幸存者的故事重獲新生。
The ship of dreams (and nightmares), has been brought back to life through one survivor's story. Laura Francatelli's account of escaping the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 has sold for 20,000 pounds ($31,000) at auction.
勞拉-弗蘭卡泰利生前記述她在1912年從正在下沉的“泰坦尼克”號中死里逃生的故事在拍賣中被以2萬英鎊的價(jià)格售出。
The story, which was published for the first time in early October, was bought by an Eastern European collector at auction. Francatelli's tale describes the urgency and fear that manifested on board the Titanic during her final hours, "There was an awful rumbling when she went. Then came the screams and cries. I do not know how long they lasted.”
今年10月初首次公開發(fā)表的這一故事在拍賣會(huì)上被一名東歐收藏家購得。弗蘭卡泰利的故事描述了“泰坦尼克”號沉沒前的幾小時(shí)中船上的混亂與恐慌。故事中記載：“在‘泰坦尼克’號沉沒過程中，船體發(fā)出隆隆的響聲，隨后響起了尖叫和哭喊聲。我不知道這種聲音持續(xù)了多久。”
Francatelli, who was 31 at the time, was traveling with baronet Sir Cosmo Duff-Gordon and his wife Lady Lucy Christiana, as his secretary. She boarded one of the last lifeboats which contained just five passengers and seven crew members, whom on hearing the screams, refused to go back to search for more survivors.
時(shí)年31歲的弗蘭卡泰利當(dāng)時(shí)是科斯莫-達(dá)夫-戈登準(zhǔn)男爵的秘書，正在陪同男爵及其夫人露西-克里斯蒂娜女士旅行。她是最后一批登上救生艇的，那艘艇上只有五名乘客和七名船員。那些船員盡管聽到了呼救聲，但拒絕回去尋找更多的幸存者。
