Then she found one right where she was sitting.

然后她在她坐的地方找到了一个。

Miranda Hollingshead, 27, was visiting the Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas in a family outing.

27岁的米兰达·霍林希德当时与家人正在阿肯色州的钻石坑州立公园出游。

They'd been at the park for about an hour, when she decided to take a break at the base of a hill.

She fired up the YouTube video and started watching.

他们在公园呆了大约一个小时后，她决定在山脚下休息一下。

她打开YouTube视频开始看。

The park allows its visitors to search for diamonds in a designated 37.

5-acre area.

该公园允许游客在37.

5英亩的指定区域内寻找钻石。

For a second, she glanced over to check on her child before returning to the video.

That's when she saw it: a yellow diamond, sticking out among the other rocks.

她看了孩子一眼，然后继续看录像。

就在那时，她看到了一颗黄色的钻石，从其他岩石中露了出来。

"I shook my hand across it to make sure what it was, picked it up, and yelled across the field to my mom, 'I think I got one!

'" she told park officials.

我摸了摸它，看看那是什么东西，然后把它捡起来，隔着田野对妈妈喊道，‘我想我拿到了!

’”’”她告诉公园官员。

She was right.

她是对的。

The 3.

72 carat gem is the largest registered at the park since March 2017, when a teenager found a 7.

44 carat brown diamond, according to the park.

It is, however, the largest yellow diamond found since October 2013, when a visitor from Oklahoma City found one weighing in at 3.

85 carats.

据该公园称，这颗3.

72克拉的钻石是自2017年3月以来在该公园登记的最大钻石，当时一名青少年发现了一颗7.

44克拉的棕色钻石。

然而，这是自2013年10月以来发现的最大的黄色钻石。

12 carats.

就在上个月，内布拉斯加州的一名教师在同一公园发现了一颗重2.

12克拉的钻石。

Hollingshead's diamond is about the size of a pencil eraser, according to a statement from Waymon Cox.

根据维蒙·考克斯的一份声明，霍林希德的钻石大约有铅笔橡皮擦那么大。

He said the rain may have played a role in Hollingshead finding her diamond.

他说，大雨可能是霍林希德找到钻石的原因之一。

"Much of the ground where Ms.

Hollingshead found her diamond is made of unweathered volcanic rock.

When it rains, flowing runoff often leaves loose gravel, and sometimes diamonds, on the surface in these areas," he said.

霍林希德发现钻石的地方，大部分是由未风化的火山岩构成的。

下雨时，径流经常在这些地区的地表留下松散的砾石，有时还有钻石，”他说。

So, schedule a trip to the park after a thunderstorm?

Got it.

那么，计划一次雷雨过后的公园之旅?

懂了。
