A group of explorers in Russia have found around a billion roubles in old Soviet money at an abandoned mine, but it's all completely worthless.
日前，俄罗斯一队探险者在一座废弃的矿洞里，找到了数十亿前苏联时期的纸币，但现在已经毫无价值了。
The group from Saint Petersburg, who publish a blog on abandoned sites across Russia, came across the money after following rumours that large quantities of cash had been dumped in old missile silos near Moscow after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Komsomolskaya Pravda news website reports.
据《共青团真理报》新闻网站报道，这队来自圣彼得堡的探险者，会发表有关全俄罗斯荒废地点的博客。他们在传言的引领下，在莫斯科附近的前苏联废弃导弹发射井里找到了大量现金。
After travelling for several hours across rough terrain in Russia's Vladimir region, they found the mine overflowing with cash.
在俄罗斯弗拉基米尔地区探索了几个小时后，他们发现了这一充满大量现金的矿洞。

The site contains an estimated one billion roubles in Soviet Union banknotes of various denominations issued between 1961 and 1991, all no longer legal tender in the Russian Federation.
这个矿洞里有1961年到1991年发行的约10亿的苏联卢布，但是在如今的俄罗斯联邦已经不再有效了。
Team member Olga Bogdanova said that the sight of such "riches" was difficult to convey in words.
探险队成员奥莉加·波格丹诺娃表示，该景象的奢华难以用语言来形容。
"There's delight and some sadness, because you realise that this is a bygone era which will never return, that all this money would have been more than enough for anybody," she said.
她说道：“这让人悲喜交加，因为你会意识到那是一个再也回不去的辉煌时代，这些钱本应该对任何人来说都足够了。”
