[ti:Hunters Look for Nazi Treasure in the Netherlands] [by:www.51voa.com] [00:00.00]更多听力请访问51VOA.COM [00:00.04]Treasure hunters walked with digging tools and metal detectors [00:06.12]through the fields of Ommeren in eastern Netherlands last week. [00:13.08]They were looking for gold and jewels [00:15.64]that Nazi soldiers reportedly buried during World War II. [00:22.12]The Dutch National Archive released a 77-year-old Nazi map last week. [00:29.84]Officials said the map was believed to show [00:34.32]where soldiers had hidden four boxes of valuable jewels and metals. [00:41.16]The men had stolen them after a bank explosion in 1944, the Archive said. [00:49.68]Some people believe the objects may be worth millions of dollars. [00:55.72]Dutch officials took the map from a German soldier [01:00.12]after the Netherlands was freed from Nazi occupation in 1945. [01:06.48]The map was protected for 75 years [01:10.88]before it was required to be shown to the public. [01:15.32]The Archive said it looked for the treasure several times [01:20.64]in 1947 but did not find anything. [01:27.04]Anne-Marieke Samson is an Archive spokesperson. [01:32.04]She said the organization researched the story and found it to be "reliable." [01:38.36]However, she said it is also possible there was never a treasure, [01:44.24]or that it had been removed before the Archive searched. [01:49.76]The possibility of treasure proved impossible to resist [01:54.16]for 57-year-old Jan Henzen. [01:58.04]He was one of many, armed with tools, searching the area. [02:03.88]"Like a lot of people, the news about the treasure made me go look for myself. [02:09.72]The chance of the treasure still being here after 70 years [02:13.68]is very small I think, but I want to give it a try," he said. [02:20.84]The former mayor of Ommeren is Klaas Tammes. [02:25.56]He runs an organization that owns the land where people are looking. [02:30.88]He said he has seen hunters come from all parts of the country. [02:35.92]"A map with a row of three trees [02:40.12]and a red cross marking a spot [02:43.36]where a treasure should be hidden sparks the imagination," he said. [02:49.16]"Anyone who finds anything will have to report it to us, [02:53.12]so we'll see," Tammes said, [02:55.60]adding, "But I wouldn't expect it to be easy."
