俄罗斯艺术家以巨大的鼠屎雕塑迎接新年

A Russian artist has found an unorthodox way to celebrate the new year — by erecting statues out of cow poop. This year’s scatological sculpture is a rat comprised entirely of dung, an odiferous ode to the 2020 Chinese zodiac sign, Central European News reports.

一位俄罗斯艺术家发现了一种非传统的庆祝新年的方式——用牛屎立雕像。据中欧新闻报道，今年的大便雕塑是一只完全由粪便构成的老鼠，这是一首2020年中国生肖的颂歌。

Mikhail Bopposov from Uolba village, in Russia’s Sakha Republic, worked on the scat rat from mid-December to just before its unveiling on December 28. The cattle farmer then propped his manure magnum opus in an armchair in front of his home for all the village to see, even placing an empty chair beside it for those who want a front-row seat to the s - - t show.

来自俄罗斯萨哈共和国乌尔巴村的米哈伊尔·布亚科夫从12月中旬到12月28日揭幕之前一直在研究大便雕塑。然后，养牛的农民把他的肥料杰作放在他家前面的一把扶手椅上，让全村的人都能看到，甚至还在旁边放了一把空椅子，让那些想要坐在前排看表演的人也能看到。

And if that’s not a close enough view, spectators can even stand on the rank rodent, according to Bopposov. The region’s frigid temperatures have hardened the statue like a poop-sicle, preventing it from crumbling under body weight.

如果距离不够近，观众甚至可以站在这只排名靠前的啮齿动物身上。该地区寒冷的气温让这座雕像像冰棒一样变硬，防止它在体重的重压下崩溃。

The excremental masterpiece is raising a stink on social media, prompting replies of “Doesn’t he understand that this way he is giving a ‘s - - tty’ image to the Republic?! Soon we’ll be associated with manure,” CEN reports.

这部令人讨厌的杰作在社交媒体上引起了轩然大波，有人回复道:“难道他不知道他这样做是在给《理想国》(The Republic)塑造一个糟糕的形象吗?!很快我们就会和粪肥联系在一起。”CEN报道。

However, others lauded the work. “Why should he care about image? It’s important that the man likes what he is doing,” one supporter posted. “People will always interpret things however they want.”

然而，还是有人称赞了这项工作。“他为什么要在乎形象?重要的是他喜欢他所做的。”“别人爱怎么想是别人的事儿。”

Despite the mixed reviews, Bopposov has rolled out turd tributes to Zodiac animals year after year. Some of his more notable works include a giant rooster, a 6.5-foot snake, and even a doo-doo dragon.

尽管评论褒贬不一，但布亚科夫年复一年地向十二生肖动物致敬。他的一些更著名的作品包括一只大公鸡，一条6.5英尺长的蛇，甚至还有一只嘟嘟龙。
