A £20,000 Bookmark|惊世书签

[英语美文]

It could be the most expensive bookmark in the history! A letter from a Titanic passenger,used as a bookmark for years,  was written by first-class passenger Alice Lennox-Conyngham as the ship sailed from Southampton to Cherbourg, France, in 1912. The folded piece of A4 paper, complete with its original envelope, is auctioned at£6,000 to £8,000.  An expert says the letter could reach £20,000. It was one of the last mails from Titanic before it sank.



这可能是有史以来最昂贵的书签了!一封出自“泰坦尼克”号头等舱旅客爱丽斯·伦诺克斯·科宁厄姆手笔的书信,多年来一直当书签使用。该邮轮于1912年由英国的南安普敦驶往法国的瑟堡港。这张折叠好的A4信纸连同原始信封一起公开拍卖,起价为6000—8000英镑,专家称此书信可拍卖到2万英镑。它是“泰坦尼克”号沉没前寄出的最后一批邮件中的一封。
