Instead of a message in a bottle, it was the decals on a barnacle-covered trash barrel that shows just how far it traveled, from the southeastern U.S. coast to a beach in Ireland, more than 3500 miles (5633 kilometers) from home.
与漂流瓶不同，这次一只垃圾筒上盖满藤壶的印花表明，她从美国东南海岸一直漂到了爱尔兰海滩，旅程长达3500英里（5633公里）。
The City of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina announced Monday that a waste barrel had somehow washed up in County Mayo, on the emerald isle's northwestern coast.
南卡罗来纳州的默特尔的海滩市周一宣布，一只垃圾桶被冲上了位于翡翠岛西北海岸的梅尔郡。
According to the city, Keith McGreal of Ireland wrote them and shared pictures of the bright blue barrel with city stickers on it.
据该市消息，爱尔兰的凯斯·麦克格瑞尔在桶身写下了一些话，然后分享了这个亮蓝色的垃圾桶的照片，上面还贴有城市标签。
“I wanted to share some images of a Blue Trash barrel that has been washed up on our local beach on the West Coast of Ireland, Mulranny, County Mayo,” McGreal wrote, according to an exchange the city posted online.
“我想分享这个蓝色垃圾桶的照片，它最近被海浪冲到了爱尔兰西海岸的穆拉尼梅尔郡，”麦克格瑞尔写道，消息来自该市网上发布的信息。
“We spotted the stickers and thought it would make a good news story.”
“我们看到标签后，觉得这会是一个很棒的新闻故事。”
The city posted the photos online, showing that the barrel's Atlantic crossing took enough time for it to be encrusted with shells.
但是后来在网上发布了照片，表明这个垃圾桶横跨大西洋的旅程，花了不少时间以至于上面都盖满了甲壳类生物。
City officials also wrote McGreal, saying the barrel must have been carried away in the Gulf Stream during a major wind or storm event.
该市官网还写道，麦克葛瑞尔说这个垃圾桶多半是在湾流区的一阵强风或者风暴中被吹走的。
“We typically remove trash containers from the beach before a hurricane, but this one apparently had a mind of its own,” they said, adding that they'd “already had a city employee volunteer to come fetch it.”
“一般在飓风来临之前我们都会移走海滩上的垃圾桶，但这一只明显的有它自己的想法，”他们说还补充说道，他们已经“派一个城市志愿者来把它领回去。”
文中提到的这只垃圾桶来自哪里？
