As the world commemorates the centenary of the Titanic's sinking, thousands of people have taken to the internet to discuss the historic anniversary. But the event has evidently proven more educational for some than others.
當(dāng)全世界都在關(guān)注泰坦尼克號沉沒一百周年,成千上萬的人們在網(wǎng)上開始了這個歷史性紀(jì)念活動的討論。但這似乎對更多的人來說有著更多的教育意義。

A number of tweeters have used the micro-blogging site to confess that they were unaware that the Titanic was a real ship.The ill-informed netizens sparked an online backlash, with hundreds sharing their disgust at the apparent ignorance.
很多推特用戶發(fā)微博承認自己早先并沒有意識到泰坦尼克號是一艘真實存在的船。這些孤陋寡聞的網(wǎng)民引發(fā)了網(wǎng)上的熱議,許多用戶對這些人的無知表示鄙視。

Twitter用戶囧回應(yīng):

Jas: Only just found out Titanic was real.
剛剛才發(fā)現(xiàn)真有泰坦尼克號。

NaiNai: Guys, Titanic was real!
同志們,泰坦尼克號是真的!

Charlotte: Is it bad that i didn't know Titanic was real? Always thought it was just a film.
我竟然不知道泰坦尼克號是真實存在的,我一直以為只不過是部電影。

Brittany: Nobody told me Titanic was real? How am I just finding this out?!
泰坦尼克號真實存在?沒人告訴過我啊,我怎么會知道?!

RMS Titanic sank in the early hours of April 15 1912, after being struck by an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York. But for many of the younger generation, the ship is more familiar from the 1997 film about its demise starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio.
1912年4月,泰坦尼克號在從英國南安普敦到美國紐約的處女航時撞上冰山后沉沒。但很多年輕的一代人似乎對1997年由凱特·溫絲萊特和里昂那多·迪卡普里奧主演的電影更加熟悉。

And it seems that several fans of the movie failed to grasp that it was based on a true story - albeit with invented characters. A screenshots of tweets from people realising that the tragic tale is non-fictional was first circulated on social news site Reddit.
似乎一些影迷并沒有注意到影片盡管創(chuàng)造了一些人物,但是基于真實歷史事件改編而成。一些推特用戶留言表示意識到這個悲劇故事并非虛構(gòu),這些留言截圖最早出現(xiàn)在社會新聞網(wǎng)Reddit上。

More knowledgeable tweeters were quick to latch on to the embarrassing error. 'The ignorance is astounding,' wrote one commenter.
更多博學(xué)的推特用戶迅速出來糾正這個尷尬的錯誤。一位用戶這樣評論道:“這種無知太令人震驚了?!?/div>

Another joked: 'Loving the people on Twitter who didn't realize Titanic was a real ship. More secrets, so was the iceberg, kids. Celine Dion is fictional.'
另外一位開玩笑道:“這些沒有意識到泰坦尼克號是真實存在的推特用戶真可愛。泰坦尼克號還有更多的秘密哦!就像撞上的冰山、船上的孩子,甚至主題曲演唱者席琳·迪翁都是虛構(gòu)的?!?/div>
