双语新闻：罗马重建古代君士坦丁皇帝雕像

Emperor Constantine the First was an ancient Roman ruler who welcomed Christianity. He helped spread the religion throughout the Roman Empire.

君士坦丁大帝是一位信奉基督教的古罗马统治者。他帮助将宗教传播到整个罗马帝国。

Recently, a large, rebuilt statue of Constantine was introduced to the public in Rome.

最近，一座重建的大型君士坦丁雕像在罗马向公众展示。

Officials revealed the 13-meter copy of the statue that Constantine had built for himself. Special technology known as 3D modelling permitted the statue's makers to create the work from scans of the nine large original marble body parts that remain.

官员们展示了君士坦丁为自己建造的13米高的雕像复制品。被称为3D建模的特殊技术允许雕像的制造者通过扫描剩下的九个原始大理石身体部位来创作作品。

The result: a large statue of the seated emperor. Constantine is wearing special clothing and holding a scepter and orb. He looks over Rome from a side garden of the Capitoline Museums.

结果是:一座巨大的皇帝坐像。君士坦丁穿着特殊的衣服，手持权杖和宝珠。他从卡比托利欧博物馆的侧花园俯瞰罗马。

The rebuilt statue is close to the area where the original pieces of Constantine's giant feet, hands and head are kept. Artists in Rome created the original about 1,700 years ago.

重建的雕像靠近保存君士坦丁巨大的脚、手和头的原始部分的区域。罗马的艺术家们在大约1700年前创作了原作。

Rebuilt to its original form, the statue creates wonder in people who see it. This feeling is just what Constantine wanted from his subjects, officials said at the statue's public introduction.

这座雕像被重建成原来的样子，让看到它的人感到惊奇。官员们在雕像的公开介绍中说，这种感觉正是君士坦丁想从他的臣民身上得到的。

"In this statue there's not just beauty, there's the violence of power," said Salvatore Settis of the Fondazione Prada, the cultural and educational arm of the fashion house which financed the project.

“这座雕像不仅美，还有权力的暴力，”普拉达基金会的塞尔瓦托·塞蒂斯说。该基金会是时尚品牌普拉达的文化和教育部门，为该项目提供资金。

Officials did not say how much the project cost. But the Factum Foundation created the statue. The group is a nonprofit based in Madrid. It creates special digital copies of the world's famous cultural objects.

官员们没有透露该项目的成本。但这座雕像是由Factum基金会创造的。该组织是一家总部位于马德里的非营利组织。它制作了世界著名文物的特殊数字复制品。

"This whole dynamic about how you use technology to transform our understanding of and the importance of cultural heritage is the core mission of Factum Foundation," said the group's founder Adam Lowe.

该组织的创始人亚当·洛说:“如何利用技术改变我们对文化遗产的理解和重要性，这是Factum基金会的核心使命。”

The statue is made from several materials. The body includes resin, polyurethane and marble powder. Gold leaf and plaster make up the special clothing that goes over the body.

这座雕像是由几种材料制成的。主体包括树脂、聚氨酯和大理石粉。金箔和石膏构成了覆盖在身体上的特殊衣服。

A second version of the statue is to be put in place in northeast England. That is where Constantine guarded defenses known as Hadrian's Wall before being crowned emperor in Rome.

第二个版本的雕像将被安置在英格兰东北部。君士坦丁在被加冕为罗马皇帝之前，就是在这里守卫哈德良长城。
