Stories of a mysterious island called Atlantis date from around 400 BC. Ever since then, people have been searching all over the world for it.
It was Plato, a Greek philosopher(哲学家), who first wrote about the long-lost na¬tion. According to him, more than 9,000 years before, Atlantis had been a great and rich nation. He described Atlantis as a beautiful place where all the people were happy. Lots of elephants and horses lived on the island. There was enough money and food for everyone, and the people spent their time building temples and gardens. Sadly for the people of At¬lantis, this happy life did not last forever. Plato described how a huge earthquake de¬stroyed the island, and the following flood covered it with water and Atlantis disappeared under the sea.
It is an amazing story of a beautiful city hidden for thousands of years under the sea. Unluckily, there is no evidence (证据) to suggest that Atlantis ever existed. Plato said that it was in the Atlantic Ocean near Gibraltar, but after hundreds of years of searching, nothing has been found.
However, this has not discouraged many researchers and historians who are sure that Atlantis does exist. Hundreds of books have been written on the lost island and there are now and then new ideas about possible locations. Some people think it is really the Greek island of Thera, which was destroyed by a volcano(火山) in 1, 500 BC. Others believe At¬lantis was in Turkey, Spain, America or Africa. One 17th- century expert was sure that Atlantis was in the Arctic Ocean.
Only one thing is certain: until someone really finds a ruined city somewhere under the sea, the existence of Atlantis will remain a mystery.

充满神秘气息的岛屿，亚特兰提斯，的故事可以追溯到公元前400年。从那时开始，人们就一直在世界各地寻找他的下落。

帕拉图，一个希腊哲学家，是第一个记载久远遗失的国度的人。根据他的记载，9000年甚至更久远以前，亚特兰提斯一直是一个伟大而且产物丰盛的国家。他把亚特兰提斯形容为一个所有人都很幸福欢乐的美丽的地方。很多的大象和马都生活在那个岛上。每一个人都有足够多的金钱和食物，他们会利用自己的时间来建筑寺庙和花园。很遗憾的，对于亚特兰提斯人的幸福生活并没有永久的维持下去。根据帕拉图描述，一个巨大的地震毁灭了这个岛，随之而来的洪水把亚特兰提斯淹没，它从海平面上消失了。
这是个关于美丽城市消失在海底千年以上的让人惊奇的故事。很可惜，并没有证据来证明亚特兰提斯曾经存在过。帕拉图说的亚特兰提斯在大西洋的直布罗陀附近，但是经过了数百年的寻觅，依然无果。
不过，这并没有打击研究者们和历史学家们的信心，他们仍然相信亚特兰提斯是确实存在的。数以百计书本都有写到这个迷失之岛，而且时而会有一些可能的地理位置的新想法。一些人认为它真的就是在公元前一千五百年被火山爆发所毁灭的锡拉的希腊岛。还有其他一些人相信亚特兰提斯存在于过去的土耳其、西班牙、美洲或者是非洲。一个17世纪的专家非常确信亚特兰提斯是曾经存在于北冰洋的。
只有一件事可以被确定的，除非某个人真正在某个海底找到一个城市的遗址，亚特兰提斯的存在与否仍然是一个迷。
