<p>日本东京一家珠宝店近期打造了一棵自动旋转的纯金圣诞树，配以纯金制成的米老鼠、灰姑娘等50个迪斯尼卡通形象作为装饰，售价为420万美元。据悉，这棵圣诞树总共用去40公斤黄金，高2.4米，直径1.2米，是由10位工匠花两个月的时间手工打造而成的。为了方便手头不太阔绰的顾客购买，该珠宝店还制作了一款25厘米高的缩小版纯金圣诞树，配了20个迪斯尼卡通形象，售价为24.3万美元。目前，缩小版圣诞树已找到买家。</p><p><span word="For">For</span> <span word="those">those</span> <span word="seeking">seeking</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="glow">glow</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="their">their</span> <span word="Christmas">Christmas</span> <span word="this">this</span> <span word="year">year</span>, <span word="a">a</span> <span word="jewelry">jewelry</span> <span word="store">store</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="downtown">downtown</span> <span word="Tokyo">Tokyo</span> <span word="has">has</span> <span word="just">just</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="answer">answer</span>: <span word="a">a</span> <span word="pure">pure</span> <span word="gold">gold</span> <span word="revolving">revolving</span> "<span word="tree">tree</span>" <span word="covered">covered</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="Disney">Disney</span> <span word="characters">characters</span> <span word="such">such</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="Mickey">Mickey</span> <span word="Mouse">Mouse</span>, <span word="Tinker">Tinker</span> <span word="Bell">Bell</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="Cinderella">Cinderella</span>.</p><p><span word="The">The</span> <span word="tree">tree</span>-<span word="like">like</span> <span word="ornament">ornament</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="made">made</span> <span word="of">of</span> 40 <span word="kg">kg</span> (88 <span word="pounds">pounds</span>) <span word="of">of</span> <span word="pure">pure</span> <span word="gold">gold</span>, <span word="standing">standing</span> <span word="about">about</span> 2.4 <span word="meters">meters</span> (7.9 <span word="ft">ft</span>) <span word="high">high</span> <span word="and">and</span> 1.2 <span word="meters">meters</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="diameter">diameter</span>. <span word="It">It</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="decorated">decorated</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="pure">pure</span> <span word="gold">gold</span> <span word="plate">plate</span> <span word="silhouette">silhouette</span> <span word="cutouts">cutouts</span> <span word="of">of</span> 50 <span word="popular">popular</span> <span word="Disney">Disney</span> <span word="characters">characters</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="draped">draped</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="ribbons">ribbons</span> <span word="made">made</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="gold">gold</span> <span word="leaf">leaf</span>.</p><p><span word="The">The</span> <span word="price">price</span> <span word="tag">tag</span>? <span word="A">A</span> <span word="mere">mere</span> 350 <span word="million">million</span> <span word="yen">yen</span> ($4.2 <span word="million">million</span>).</p><p><span word="But">But</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="ornament">ornament</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="actually">actually</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="deal">deal</span>, <span word="said">said</span> <span word="Tomoko">Tomoko</span> <span word="Ishibashi">Ishibashi</span>, <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="marketing">marketing</span> <span word="department">department</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="Tanaka">Tanaka</span> <span word="Kikinzoku">Kikinzoku</span> <span word="Jewelry">Jewelry</span>, <span word="which">which</span> <span word="runs">runs</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Ginza">Ginza</span> <span word="Tanaka">Tanaka</span> <span word="jewelry">jewelry</span> <span word="store">store</span>.</p><p>"<span word="Right">Right</span> <span word="now">now</span> <span word="gold">gold</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="over">over</span> 4,400 <span word="yen">yen</span> <span word="per">per</span> <span word="gram">gram</span>. <span word="We">We</span> <span word="used">used</span> <span word="pure">pure</span> <span word="gold">gold</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="had">had</span> <span word="an">an</span> <span word="expert">expert</span> <span word="craftsman">craftsman</span> <span word="form">form</span> <span word="each">each</span> <span word="Disney">Disney</span> <span word="character">character</span> <span word="by">by</span> <span word="hand">hand</span>," <span word="she">she</span> <span word="said">said</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="decoration">decoration</span>, <span word="which">which</span> <span word="took">took</span> 10 <span word="craftsmen">craftsmen</span> <span word="two">two</span> <span word="months">months</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="complete">complete</span>.</p>
