1.原本在意外發生前一天，船上預定舉行一場演習，但不知為何，史密斯船長取消了預定計畫。很多人相信如果事前有舉行演習，就不會死那麼多人。

Originally, a lifeboat drill was scheduled to take place on board on April 14th, 1912- the day she hit the iceberg. For an unknown reason, Captain Smith cancelled the drill. Many believe a lot more lives would have been saved if this drill had occurred.

2.在瞭望員打開警鈴到鐵達尼號撞上冰山之間，艦橋的長官只有37秒的反應時間。

From the time the lookouts sounded the alert, the officers on the bridge only had 37 seconds to react before the Titanic hit the iceberg.

3.鐵達尼號上竟然有發行報紙，叫做「大西洋日報」 (Atlantic Daily Bulletin) ，上面有廣告、股票價格、賽馬結果、花邊新聞及每日菜單。

The Atlantic Daily Bulletin was a newspaper that was printed every day onboard. The newspaper included advertisements, stock prices, horse-racing results, gossip and the daily menu.

4.在三等艙的700名乘客只能共用2個浴缸。

Third class had to share 2 bathtubs among 700 passengers.

5.在鐵達尼號送出求救訊號時，加州人號 (Californian) 比趕去救援的卡柏西亞號 (Carpathia) 更近，但是，在命運之夜的12:45分，加州人號的船員通報船長看到奇特火光時，船長沒有進行處理，無線電操作員也在睡覺，他們直到早上才發現訊號，但為時已晚…事件過後船長丟了工作。

Another boat, the Californian, was closer than the Carpathia when the Titanic began sending out distress calls. However, they didn’t respond until was much too late. At 12:45 am on the fateful night, crew members from the Californian saw strange lights in the sky and woke up their captain. However, the captain did not issue an order, and since the ship’s wireless operator had already gone to bed, they were unaware of any distress signals until morning. The Captain lost his job over this mistake.

6.鐵達尼號事實上是一艘皇家郵船，他們有責任要幫英國郵務送信。船上的5名郵差要負責3,246袋信件，也就是7百萬封信。雖然這些信當然都沒送出，但如果有任何信件的碎片被發現，美國郵務還是會努力幫忙送達。

The R.M.S. Titanic was a Royal Mail Ship, which meant it was responsible for delivering mail for the British Postal Service. 5 mail clerks onboard were in charge of 3,246 sacks of mail, or 7 million individual pieces. Although no mail has been discovered from the wreckage, the US Postal Service would still try to deliver it if the pieces were ever found.

7.細野正文是鐵達尼號上唯一的日籍生還者 (也是船上唯一的日籍人士) ，他回國後卻被指控是一名懦夫，因為他沒有跟其他乘客一起死，甚至連學校教科書都把他描述為不名譽的範本。

Japanese survivor Masabumi Hosono was considered a coward when he returned to Japan for not dying with the other passengers. School textbooks even described him as an example of how to be dishonorable.

可以不要這樣嗎？要不然你來啊，來來來！

8.在鐵達尼號沈船後一天，《世界報》 (The World) 跟《倫敦每日郵報》 (London Daily Mail) 在報導中寫：「鐵達尼號沉沒，無人身亡。」

Several newspapers, such as “The World” and "London Daily Mail” initially reported “Titanic Sunk, No Lives Lost” on April 16,1912 (the day after the disaster).

9.但是沈船一周後，紐約時報用整整75頁的篇幅報導這次事件。

However, “The New York Times” devoted 75 pages to coverage in the first week after the sinking.

10.害鐵達尼號沈船的冰山，可能是在西元前1000年就從北大西洋慢慢飄過去的。

The iceberg that sank the Titanic began its journey into the North Atlantic somewhere around 1000 BC.

這就是命運嗎？

11.船上的乘客伊莉莎白‧夏慈 (Elizabeth Shutes) 在沉船當夜，因為冰塊的味道而被煩到睡不著。她聲稱那味道讓她想到以前去過的冰窟。

Passenger Elizabeth Shutes was so troubled by the smell of ice on the fateful night that she couldn’t sleep. She claimed it reminder her strongly of an ice cave she had once visited.

12.事件過後，美國和英國的的調查都指出船速過快，如果開慢一點的話它或許就能避過冰山。路易絲‧派頓 (Louise Patton) 指稱她的外祖父，也就是二副查爾斯‧萊特霍德 (Charles Lightholler) 在偵訊時串供並隱瞞失誤，擔心會影響白金航運公司的名譽。

Immediately after the disaster, inquiries by both Britain and the US concluded the ship was traveling way too fast. At a slower speed the damage would have been lessened, or it might have been possible to avoid the iceberg completely. Louise Patton, granddaughter of second officer Charles Lightholler, claims her grandfather conspired to cover this mistake up during the inquiries, believing the truth would destroy the White Star Line’s reputation.

13.德州大學的兩名天文學家發現，「超級月亮」可能是害冰山移動的原因。在1912年 (鐵達尼號沈船當年) 的1月4日發生了超級月亮，月球離地球的距離是1400年來最近的一次。月球與太陽對齊造成超大浪，造成大量冰山逐漸移動到鐵達尼號的航線上。

Two astronomers from Texas State University have speculated that a rare “supermoon” may have been to blame for setting the iceberg in motion. This occurs when the Moon reaches its closest point to Earth at the same time as a full moon. January 4, 1912 saw a remarkable example, with the Moon coming closer to the Earth than at any point in the last 1,400 years.

The Moon and Sun were also aligned, causing an extremely strong tide. These events could have set the disaster in motion, with an extreme tide bringing a high number of icebergs in the Titanic’s path.

14.在鐵達尼號上真的有一顆很像「海洋之心」的藍寶石，是凱特 (Kate Florence Philips) 的愛慕者亨利 (Henry Morley) 送她的禮物。19歲的凱特跟她40歲的老闆墜入愛河，亨利拋家棄子並決定跟她逃到加州開始新生活，但亨利不幸沒搭到救生艇。

A valuable sapphire necklace much like the “Heart of the Ocean" actually was on the Titanic. Passenger Kate Florence Philips received it from her secret lover, Henry Morley. Kate was a 19-year-old passenger who had fallen in love with her 40-year-old employer. Morley had left his wife and daughter and the couple planned to elope on the ship and start a life together in California. When the iceberg hit, Kate had a seat on the last lifeboat, but Morley did not.

Kate gave birth to a baby girl named Ellen, and her story became known in 1989 when she arrived at Worcester News looking for a picture of her father. She also revealed that she still had the sapphire necklace and a cabin key from the ship.

後來凱特生下女兒，取名艾倫 (Ellen) ，她說她仍保有那條項鍊，還有鐵達尼號客艙的鑰匙。

15.船長愛德華‧約翰‧史密斯 (Edward John Smith) 第一次做海軍測驗時，其實沒有通過，但他終於通過後，還贏得了「百萬富翁的船長」的稱號，因為他良好的名聲，上流階層的人常指名坐他開的船。

Captain Edward John Smith actually failed his navigation exams the first time he took them. He eventually passed, but ironically had earned the nickname “the millionaire’s captain” before the disaster due to his reputation for reliability.
