巴黎當(dāng)?shù)貢r(shí)間4月15日傍晚,這座已經(jīng)在塞納河畔佇立了800多年的天主教堂突然起火,大火持續(xù)了幾個(gè)小時(shí)。巴黎圣母院發(fā)言人說(shuō)這場(chǎng)火幾乎燒光了一切,無(wú)一幸免。("Everything is burning, nothing will remain from the flame.”)
關(guān)于巴黎圣母院你所不知道的小知識(shí):
1. The cathedral receives almost 13m visitors each year, more than the Eiffel Tower.
這座教堂每年都有1300萬(wàn)游客前來(lái)參觀,比埃菲爾鐵塔的游客還要多。
2. Built in the 12th and 13th Centuries, it was currently undergoing major renovations.
它是在12-13世紀(jì)間建造的,當(dāng)前正在進(jìn)行大規(guī)模的修復(fù)。
3. The roof, which appears to have been heavily damaged by the blaze, is made mostly of wood.
教堂屋頂主要是木質(zhì)結(jié)構(gòu),因此禁不住大火的侵蝕。
BBC記者評(píng)論說(shuō):“望著我們民族的化身焚毀,這種悲痛,無(wú)論如何描述都不為過(guò)?!保↖t is impossible to overstate how shocking it is to watch such an enduring embodiment of our country burn.)
