意大利禁止麦当劳靠近古罗马古建筑

Italy’s Culture ministry on Wednesday barred the construction of a McDonald’s fast-food restaurant next to the ancient Baths of Caracalla in Rome, with Mayor Virginia Raggi saying “the wonders of Rome must be protected.”

意大利文化部周三禁止在罗马卡拉卡拉古浴场旁建造麦当劳快餐店，市长维吉尼亚·拉吉说：“罗马奇观必须得到保护。”

Culture Minister Alberto Bonisoli announced his decision in a Facebook post after the municipal administration loudly protested against the notion of serving burgers in the archaeological zone that hosts the third-century AD baths.

文化部长阿尔贝托·博尼索里在Facebook的一篇帖子中宣布了他的决定，此前市政当局强烈反对在三世纪的古浴场的考古区提供汉堡包。

“We go forward with the culture minister to stop fast food construction in the archaeological area of the Baths of Caracalla. The wonders of Rome must be protected,” Raggi wrote on Twitter after Bonisoli’s announcement.

“我们愿与文化部一起，呼吁停止卡拉卡拉浴场考古区的快餐建设，罗马奇观必须得到保护。”拉吉在博尼索里宣布后在Twitter上写道。

McDonald’s did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

对此，麦当劳没有立即回复置评请求。

McDonald’s has more than 40 outlets in the Italian capital, some of them in the vicinity of landmarks such as the Piazza Navona, Piazza di Spagna (Spanish Steps) and the Vatican, but not hitherto in the midst of its revered ancient quarter.

麦当劳在意大利首都拥有40多家分店，其中一些分店位于诸如纳沃纳广场、西班牙斯帕尼亚广场(西班牙阶梯)和梵蒂冈等地标附近，但迄今为止还没有在其备受尊崇的古城区中开设分店。

In 1986, intellectuals and television personalities fought, ultimately in vain, against the opening of the first McDonald’s in the Piazza di Spagna, calling it an offense to Italy’s traditional food culture.

1986年，知识分子和电视名人在意大利斯帕尼亚广场(Piazza di Spagna)反对第一家麦当劳(McDonald's)的开业，最终以失败告终，称这是对意大利传统饮食文化的冒犯。

In the case of the Baths of Caracalla, Italian media said the McDonald’s outlet was expected to cover 800 square meters (8,611 square feet), in an area where new construction must meet strict criteria to reflect historical tradition.

在卡拉卡拉浴场的案例中，意大利媒体表示，麦当劳的门店预计将占地800平方米(8611平方英尺)，该地区的新建筑必须符合严格的标准，以反映历史传统。

The former garden center that would have hosted the new McDonald’s is located between the baths and the ancient Aurelian walls, a few hundred meters (yards) away from the Coliseum and the Circus Maximus.

以前的花园中心将会成为新麦当劳的所在地，位于古浴场和古老的奥勒连城墙之间，距离竞技场和马克西姆斯马戏团只有几百米(码)远。

According to website statista.com, Italy last year had the fourth-highest number of McDonald’s restaurants in the European Union with 578, behind only Germany, France and Britain.

根据statista.com网站的数据，去年意大利拥有578家麦当劳餐厅，在欧盟排名第四，仅次于德国、法国和英国。
