CNN News:叙利亚巴尔米拉凯旋门复制品在英重建 将全球巡展

Up next, it's made from Egyptian marble. It costs more than $140,000 to create. It stands 20 feet tall and weighs almost 11 tons and that's in only two-thirds the size of the original.
This is a replica of Palmyra's Triumphal Arch. It stood in the Syrian city for 2,000 years. But when the ISIS terrorist group took over Palmyra last year, they blew up the artifacts because ISIS saw it as un-Islamic. Critics have questioned the value of recreating the arch. That value symbolic to supporters in the city where it now stands before it's shipped and displayed around the world.
FREDERIK PLEITGEN, cnn SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: The Triumph Arch of the ancient Temple of Bel in Palmyra blown up by ISIS, now recreated and unveiled on London's Trafalgar Square.
London Mayor Boris Johnson called this effort defiant against terrorism.
BORIS JOHNSON, LONDON MAYOR: This stood for 2,000 years and then along came the so-called Daesh, Islamic State. And it's a measure of a disregard for them and our determination to use technology to redress what they've done.
下则新闻，它是用埃及大理石制成的。建造费用超过14万美元。它20英尺高，约11吨重，大小只有原型的三分之二。
这就是巴尔米拉凯旋门的复制品。凯旋门在巴尔米拉古城屹立了近2000年。但是ISIS去年占领巴尔米拉古城时，炸毁了那里的文物古迹，因为ISIS认为那不符合伊斯兰教义。批评人士对重建凯旋门的价值提出了质疑。这对其所在城市的支持者来说具有象征意义，复制品将运往世界各地进行展览。
cnn高级国际记者弗雷德里克·普雷根：巴尔米拉古城贝尔神庙的凯旋门被ISIS炸毁，现在它已经被重建，并亮相伦敦特拉法加广场进行展出。
伦敦市长鲍里斯·约翰逊称这是向恐怖主义发出的挑战。
伦敦市长鲍里斯·约翰逊：凯旋门矗立了近2000年，然后被ISIS毁掉。重建是对ISIS的漠视，我们决定用科技补救他们造成的毁坏。

PLEITGEN: Palmyra was one of the most well-known and most visited ancient sites in Syria, until ISIS overrun the area in 2015.
But before the extremists could reach the town, Syria's antiquities minister, Mahmoud Abdul Karim, led a covert operation to evacuate many of the ancient statues, frescos and other items. The effort to recreate the Triumph Arch was spearheaded by the Institute for Digital Archaeology, using 3D printing technology to make it look and feel almost like the original.
Those behind this project say they believe that this technology could also be used to recreate other ancient artifacts destroyed by terror groups like ISIS. There's also critics who say that no matter how good the replica is, you can never replace an original.
普雷根：巴尔米拉是叙利亚最著名、游览人数最多的古城之一，而ISIS在2015年摧毁了这里。
在这些极端分子进城之前，叙利亚文物部长马哈茂德·阿布·卡里姆领导了一场秘密行动，撤走了大部分古代雕像、壁画和其他文物。凯旋门的复制工程由数字考古研究所承担，他们用3D打印技术复制了凯旋门，使它看上去和原型几乎一样。
参与复制工程的工作人员表示，他们认为这项技术还可以用于复制其他被ISIS等恐怖组织摧毁的古文物。但是批评人士表示，无论复制品有多好，也无法取代原型。
