每日英語跟讀 Ep.1013: About Europe - Sculpture restoration work draws laughs, memories in Spain
Restoration work on a sculpture in northern Spain has resurrected memories of a restored Christ fresco in another Spanish city eight years ago that drew ridicule as well as tourists.
西班牙北部一座雕像的修復工作，勾起外界對8年前西班牙另一座城市的一座既招來奚落、但也帶來遊客的被修復的耶穌濕壁畫的回憶。
The latest incident concerns a relief sculpture on the exterior of an ornate office building in the city of Palencia. What was once the bust of a smiling woman now looks more like the head of a cartoon character.
最新的這起修復案例，是關於帕倫西亞市一棟華麗的辦公大樓外牆的一座浮雕。原本是一名微笑女子半身像的浮雕，如今看起來更像是某個卡通人物的頭部。
The disfigurement was brought to light by a local artist who lives near the office building and was tipped off by a florist on his street. Antonio Capel posted before and after photographs on his Facebook page, triggering a flurry of social media reaction and attention from journalists.
揭發浮雕被毀容的人，是住在該辦公大樓附近的一名當地藝術家，他透過住在同一條街上的花店工作人員的爆料而得知此事。安東尼奧．卡貝爾在他的臉書頁面上貼出這座浮雕修復前後的對比照片，在社交媒體上引發熱烈回覆，並且吸引新聞記者的注意。
