泰坦尼克号最后一名美国生还者莉莲·阿斯普伦德去年5月去世了,享年99岁;另外两名仍在世的幸存者现居英国,但她们事发时分别只有10个月和9个星期大,对事件毫无印象。随着阿斯普伦德的去世,人们再也无法对这起灾难取得第一手资料了。阿斯普伦德一生保持低调,回避各界注目,多次拒绝报界要她回忆灾难见闻所支付的巨额报酬,甚至拍照也不肯,只曾在数年前与《华盛顿邮报》的记者谈及此事。 Lilian Asplund, the last American survivor of the Titanic, passed away in May last year at the age of 99; two other surviving survivors live in the United Kingdom, but they only had 10 months and Nine weeks old, there was no impression of the incident. With the death of Asplund, people can no longer obtain first-hand information on this disaster. Asplund, who kept a low profile throughout his life and evaded attention from all walks of life, repeatedly refused the press to ask her to recall the huge pay he paid for the disaster and even refused to take pictures. He had only spoken with the Washington Post reporter a few years ago. And this matter.
