The world's best freediver is feared dead after going missing during a recreational dive off the coast of Spain. |
| |
全世界最頂尖的自由潛水選手在西班牙外海從事休閒潛水的時候失蹤，恐怕已經喪生。 |
|
Natalia Molchanova, the most decorated freediver in the world with 41 world records and 23 world champion titles, was diving in the Balearic Sea near to the Spanish island of Formentera on Sunday when she failed to surface. |
| |
娜塔莉亞．莫查諾娃是全世界贏得最多獎項的自由潛水選手，創下四十一項世界記錄，並且擁有二十三項世界冠軍頭銜，週日她於巴利阿里海潛水，位於西班牙的福門特拉島附近，卻沒有浮出水面。 |
|
Freediving is a form of underwater diving in which divers hold their breath instead of using a breathing apparatus such as scuba gear. |
| |
自由潛水是水中潛水其中一種形式，潛水者以閉氣方式潛水，而不使用如水肺裝備這樣的呼吸設備。 |
|
An August 4 joint statement from Molchanova's family and AIDA International, the worldwide federation for breath-hold diving said, "Natalia Molchanova was recreationally freediving off the coast of Spain on August 2, 2015 when she was separated from her peers. |
| |
She was diving without fins to around 30 to 40 meters (98 to 132 feet) and (supposedly) got into (a) strong underwater current. |
| |
莫查諾娃的家人與國際自由潛水組織──閉氣潛水的世界聯盟──在八月四日發表聯合聲明指出：「娜塔莉亞．莫查諾娃在二０一五年八月二日於西班牙外海從事休閒自由潛水活動，卻與同行的夥伴分散了。她沒有穿蛙鞋，潛到三十至四十公尺的深度（九十八至一百三十二英尺之間），（可能）遭強大的潛流捲入。 |
|
"Search efforts have been ongoing during daylight hours and the next day since she was reported missing by three peers. |
|
She disappeared while diving approximately two miles (3.2 km) northwest of the port of La Savina, at Poniente de es Freus." |
| |
「三名同行夥伴報案指稱她失蹤之後，當天白晝期間就已展開搜尋行動，並且持續至第二天。她失蹤的時候，正在拉薩維納港西北部約兩英里（三點．二公里）處潛水，在一個稱為弗雷烏斯海峽的地點。」 |
|
Molchanova's family and peers appear to have accepted that she is presumed dead. |
|
Her son, 28-year-old Alexey Molchanov, also a champion freediver with a total of four world records, told the New York Times, "It seems she'll stay in the sea. I think she would like that." |
| |
莫查諾娃的家人與夥伴似乎已接受她已喪生的推測。她二十八歲的兒子艾列克希．莫查諾夫──也是自由潛水冠軍，共創下四項世界紀錄──向《紐約時報》表示：「看來她會待在海裡。我想她會喜歡這樣的。」 |
|
Molchanova's feats include holding her breath for nine minutes and diving to a depth of 101 meters using a monofin. |
| |
莫查諾娃的壯舉包括閉氣九分鐘，使用單片式蛙鞋潛至一百零一公尺深。 |
|
Last September, Molchanova broke the world record for dynamic freediving by swimming 237 horizontal feet in a swimming pool using one breath and a monofin. |
| |
去年九月，莫查諾娃打破了動態自由潛水的世界紀錄，穿著單片式蛙鞋在游泳池裡一口氣游了兩百三十七英尺的水平距離。 |
