一名法国渔民在加勒比海上经过了长达20天的随波逐流之后,终于被一艘荷兰船只发现。该男子得救后做的第一件事就是要吃一块羊角面包。
据路透社11月25日报道,这名现年27岁的法国渔民从多米尼加岛出发,前往附近水域捕鱼。但是,当他驾驶的小船引擎失灵后,他就只能在海面上随波逐流。在长达20天的时间里,他一直以雨水和少量跳到船板上的小鱼为生,并在海面上漂流了将近1300公里。当这名男子被荷兰一艘护卫舰的船员救上来时,他说的第一句话就是:“有巧克力羊角面包和牛奶吗?”
报道说,这艘荷兰船只是在安的列斯群岛附近水域搜寻毒品走私分子时发现该男子的。由于长时间忍饥挨饿,这名男子已经出现了脱水和体重减轻的症状。25日早晨,他已被移交给荷兰库拉索岛的有关部门。
The first thing a French fisherman asked for when he was rescued after drifting in the Caribbean for 20 days with a broken boat's engine was a croissant, a Dutch defence ministry spokesman said on Friday.
The 27-year-old from the island of Dominica survived on rainwater and a few flying fish that landed on the deck while drifting nearly 1,300 km (800 miles).
"Do you have a 'pain au chocolat' (chocolate croissant) and milk?" were his first words when rescued by the crew of a Dutch frigate who spotted him while searching for drug smugglers in waters near the Dutch Antilles, spokesman Willem Cosijn said.
"Given the circumstances he is doing quite well. He had lost weight and was dehydrated and was handed over to Curacao authorities this morning," he added.
