双语新闻：大约有2000件藏品被盗或丢失，大英博物馆将为其藏品制作数字拷贝

The British Museum, in London, recently announced plans to make digital copies of all the objects it keeps. The museum said in August that about 2,000 items had been stolen or were missing.

位于伦敦的大英博物馆最近宣布了一项计划，将对其所有藏品进行数字化复制。该博物馆在8月份表示，大约有2000件物品被盗或丢失。

The museum is one of the busiest in the world.

该博物馆是世界上最繁忙的博物馆之一。

It holds objects such as the Rosetta Stone, the Parthenon Marbles — known as the Elgin Marbles — and ancient stones and jewelry.

馆内收藏着罗塞塔石碑、帕台农神庙大理石(又称埃尔金大理石)、古代石头和珠宝等文物。

The leader, or chair of the museum, is George Osborne. He recently told the Culture, Media and Sport Committee of Parliament that he believed a person who worked at the museum was responsible.

这个博物馆的领导者，或者说主席是乔治·奥斯本。他最近告诉议会文化、媒体和体育委员会，他认为博物馆的一名工作人员应对此事负责。

Osborne called it "an inside job by someone...who the museum had put trust in." He said the person took items from the museum little by little.

奥斯本称其为“某人的内部工作……博物馆信任的人。”他说，这个人一点一点地从博物馆里拿走了东西。

The museum's director at the time was German art historian Hartwig Fischer. Fischer left the job in August after serving since 2016. He said the blame for the thefts "must ultimately" rest with him. He added the museum did not react as it should have when concerns first came up that someone had been stealing.

博物馆当时的馆长是德国艺术史学家哈特维格·费舍尔。菲舍尔自2016年任职以来，于今年8月离职。他说，盗窃的责任“最终”必须由他承担。他补充说，当人们第一次担心有人在偷窃时，博物馆没有做出应有的反应。

"There are lots of lessons to be learned," Osborne said.

奥斯本说:“我们要吸取很多教训。”

The museum head said about 350 of the 2,000 items have been found and are in the process of being returned.

博物馆负责人表示，2000件藏品中约有350件已经找到，正在归还过程中。

Stolen items included gold rings, earrings and other jewelry from the ancient Greek and Roman times.

被盗物品包括古希腊和罗马时代的金戒指、耳环和其他珠宝。

The director of the museum for the time being is Mark Jones. He said the museum is confident "that a theft of this kind can never happen again." Jones added that one way to improve the museum's security is to show more items to the public instead of, as he said, "simply by locking items away."

博物馆目前的馆长是马克·琼斯。他说，博物馆有信心“这种盗窃不会再发生”。琼斯补充说，提高博物馆安全性的一种方法是向公众展示更多的展品，而不是像他所说的那样“简单地把展品锁起来”。

The project to digitize about 8 million items will take five years.

这个将800万件物品数字化的项目将花费5年时间。
