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.
哥伦比亚总统胡安·曼努埃尔星期五宣布，发现一艘300年前装有大量宝藏的西班牙沉船。
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.
圣荷西号被称为“沉船的圣杯”。其价值估计介于40亿美元到170亿美元。
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，宝藏财富的所有权一直备受争议。一家美国公司的海上搜索舰队声称是与哥伦比亚政府共同寻找圣荷西号，并承诺获得部分宝藏。
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.
这种沉船宝藏的法律斗争并不少见。2007年奥德赛海洋探险公司在大西洋发现了价值6亿美元的宝藏，但法院裁定必须全部交付给西班牙。
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.
圣荷西号宝藏的法律斗争还没有结束，所以哥伦比能否保留所有宝藏或是移交一部分出去还尚不清楚。
