Viki Patel brought out the question to fiancée(未婚妻) Rebecca Chaukria during a trip to the Lake District. Two days later, the ring slipped off Rebecca’s finger while standing on a pier(码头). “We got up and her hand went forward a bit and the ring completely slipped off into the lake about two metres ahead,” Patel said.

维基·帕特尔（Viki Patel）在湖区旅行时向未婚妻丽贝卡·乔克里亚（Rebecca Chaukria）提出了这个问题。两天后，戒指从丽贝卡的手指上滑落，当时她正站在码头上。帕特尔说：“我们站起来，她的手向前一点，戒指完全滑落，掉进了前面大约两米的湖里。”

He ran back to the hotel to get shorts and stopped by a water sports place to buy some goggles(护目镜). “When I explained the situation to them, they told me about Lake District Diving and Angus and Declan,” said Patel. Believing time was of the key, Patel went into the “absolutely freezing” water to search for the ring himself. “I lost all hope once I saw how the bottom was all mushy,” he said.

他跑回旅馆取短裤，在一个水上运动场所停下来买了护目镜。帕特尔说：“当我向他们解释情况时，他们告诉了我湖区潜水以及安格斯和德克兰（的相关情况）。”帕特尔相信时间是关键，于是他自己涉入“绝对冰冷”的水中寻找戒指。他说：“我一看到底部全部是糊状，我就失去了所有的希望。”

He contacted Angus Hosking, a volunteer at Lake District Diving, who brought along an underwater metal detector. “He was searching around for a while, and I was starting to get worried then he emerged from the water with a smile, saying ‘I think we have it’,” Patel said.
