theStatueofLiberty自由女神像

Located in New York Harbor, the Statue of Liberty is one of

the most recognizable landmarks in the world.

But what is it doing there? And where did it come from?

自由女神像位于纽约港，是世界上最著名的地标建筑之一。但是

它在那里做什么呢？它是从哪里来的？

Officially called "Liberty Enlightening the World," the Statue

of Liberty was a gift to America from the French in 1886 as a

representation of international friendship,but its story really

began more than 20 years earlier in 1865 when Frenchman

Edouard de Laboulaye proposed that France should create a

monument for the United States.

自由女神像被正式命名为“启迪世界的自由”，它是1886年法国

赠送给美国的礼物，象征着国际友谊，但它的故事真正开始于20多年

前的1865年，当时法国人Edouard de Laboulaye提议法国应该为美

国建立一座纪念碑。

It would be a long time before Laboulaye's dream was

realized:

拉布拉耶的梦想要实现花了很长时间。

it wasn't until ten years later that the sculptor Auguste

Bartholdi was commissioned to design the statue.

直到十年后，雕塑家奥古斯特·巴托尔迪才被委托设计这座雕像。

The American people agreed to pay for the pedestal for the

statue to stand on, while the French people would fund the

Statue of Liberty itself, but raising enough money was

difficult.

美国人民同意为自由女神像的基座买单，而法国人民将为自由女

神像本身出资，但筹集足够的资金是困难的。

The statue was completed in France in 1884, almost ten years

after it was commissioned, but the pedestal wasn't finished for

another two years, in April of 1886.

这座雕像于1884年在法国完成，在它投入使用将近十年后，但基

座在1886年4月又过了两年才完工。

The statue was transported in 350 individual pieces which

were packed in 214 separate crates.

这尊雕像被分为350件，分别装在214个板条箱中运输。

Once the pedestal was completed, it took four months to

reassemble the statue.

基座完成后，花了四个月的时间重新组装雕像。
