What to know about Notre Dame Cathedral’s highly anticipated reopening
巴黎圣母院备受期待的重新开放有哪些值得关注的消息
Several key events will lead to the grand reopening of the iconic Notre-Dame de Paris in December, more than five years after a fire destroyed a significant portion of the structure.
五年前,大火摧毁了巴黎圣母院的大部分结构,如今,几场关键活动将引领这座标志性建筑在12月重新盛大开放。
With just 23 days to go until the Dec. 7 reopening, the Elysee Palace, the official residence of President Emmanuel Macron, and the Archdiocese of Paris detailed the final inspection and ceremonial events leading up to the big day.
距离12月7日重新开放仅剩23天,法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙的官邸爱丽舍宫和巴黎总教区详细说明了最终检查和庆典活动安排。
"The cathedral has never been seen (like this) in living memory, at least since the end of the restoration done by (Eugene Viollet-le-Duc)," said presidential special advisor on culture Philippe Belaval on Wednesday, referencing the 19th-century French architect famous for his restoration work at the cathedral.
“在有生之年的记忆里,这座大教堂从未像这样(被破坏得如此严重),至少是自从尤金·维奥莱-勒-杜克完成的修复工程结束以来,从未有过,”周三,总统文化事务特别顾问菲利普·贝拉瓦尔在提及这位以修复大教堂而闻名的19世纪法国建筑师时说道。
The festivities are set to kickoff on Friday when the cathedral welcomes back the 14th century statue of the Virgin and Child, which had been moved following the April 2019 fire that caused the landmark's spire to fall into the church.
庆祝活动将于周五拉开帷幕,届时大教堂将迎回14世纪的圣母子雕像,该雕像在2019年4月的大火导致地标性建筑的尖顶倒塌到教堂内后被移走。
The statue will return with a torchlight procession, starting from the forecourt of the Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois church in the first arrondissement, before reaching the forecourt of Notre-Dame, where the Archbishop will bless it before a vigil, the diocese said.
教区表示,雕像将在位于第一区的圣日耳曼奥塞尔罗瓦教堂前院开始,途经一场火炬游行,最终抵达巴黎圣母院的前院,在那里,大主教将在守夜祈祷前为其祈福。
Macron will make the last inspection of the restoration site at the end of the month, completing his seventh visit to the cathedral since the work started, according to the French president's residence. He last came in December when he went up to the newly erected spire, and observed the work made to the nave (the central part of the cathedral), the choir and the framework.
据法国总统府称,马克龙将于本月底对修复现场进行最后一次检查,这也是他自修复工作开始以来第七次到访大教堂。上次到访是在12月,当时他登上了新立的尖顶,并察看了中殿,也就是大教堂的中央部分,还有唱诗席和框架的修复工作。
Accompanied by donors, Macron on Nov. 29 will wander around the cathedral, go into the framework, the nave, and the chapels whose "restoration reveals the beauty of the paintings and the different decorations" by Viollet-le-Duc, according to Belaval.
据贝拉瓦尔称,11月29日,马克龙将在捐赠者的陪同下漫步大教堂,进入框架、中殿和礼拜堂,这些地方的“修复工作展现了维奥莱·勒·杜克笔下画作和各种装饰的美丽”。
A speech by Macron inside the landmark will pay tribute to the "crew spirit" demonstrated by the teams involved in the huge restorative undertaking, Belaval said.
贝拉瓦尔表示,马克龙将在地标性建筑内发表演讲,向参与这一庞大修复工程的团队所展现的“团队精神”致敬。
More than 2,000 artisans were mobilized from around the world to help with the restoration, including American carpenters, some of whom ABC News spoke to previously. The Elysee said the artisans will receive a diploma for their efforts, and some names have been proposed by the Ministry of Culture for the next promotions of France's highest distinctions, the Legion of Honor and the Order of Merit.
包括美国木匠在内,来自世界各地的2000多名工匠被动员来帮助修复,美国广播公司新闻此前曾与他们中的一些人交谈过。爱丽舍宫表示,这些工匠将因其努力而获得证书,文化部已为下一次法国最高荣誉勋章的荣誉军团和功绩勋章获得者提名。
For the big reveal in December, the restoration will be streamed all around the world, with the Elysee and the diocese hinting at surprise guests and performances, whose names have yet to be revealed. The general public will be able to attend the first public mass the following day, which Macron will attend as a citizen.
对于12月的盛大亮相,修复工作将在全球范围内进行直播,爱丽舍宫和教区暗示将有惊喜嘉宾和表演,但他们的名字尚未公布。次日,公众将能够参加第一场公开弥撒,马克龙也将以公民身份参加。
"It is time to reopen Notre-Dame to the 14-15 million visitors we are expecting ... Notre-Dame is in itself a sign of unity," said Monsignor Olivier Ribadeau Dumas, rector-archpriest of Notre-Dame Cathedral.
“是时候重新向预计的1400万至1500万游客开放巴黎圣母院了…… 巴黎圣母院本身就是团结的象征,”巴黎圣母院大教堂的院长兼总主教奥利维耶·里博多·迪马斯说。
The reopening won't mark the end of the work at Notre Dame Cathedral, as the remaining money collected towards the restoration will go towards various ongoing projects at the cathedral.
重新开放并不意味着巴黎圣母院工作的结束,为修复工作筹集到的剩余资金还将用于大教堂的各种持续项目。

苏格拉底有一句名言:我知我无知。说的是,当你认识到的东西越多就越发现自己无知。苏格拉底认为,人对于客观世界的认识是有限的,且不可能完全认识客观世界,并且不应对客观世界刨根究底。神对于世界的规划自有安排,若人一意孤行地探索世界和自然的奥秘,则最终将亵渎甚至触怒神明。正因为人对神所构建的世界不可能实现完全认知,因此那些宣称自己能够认识和改造世界的人,本身便是无知的代言。尽管苏格拉底的关于“ 我知我无知”的观念的解读,在现在看来有失客观科学。但至少苏格拉底告诫人们,人的认知是有限的,现有的知识甚至可能存在错误和疏漏。因此,无论任何时代,我们都必须对自己的无知加以认识并通过不懈的开拓,去更新甚至颠覆固有的知识结构。我们在求学之路上也要报以我知我不知的心态,才能走得更远、终有所成。最后,祝愿每一位考研学子都能顺利上岸!
