为纪念儿童画家碧雅翠丝·波特诞辰150周年,英国首次推出彼得兔版纪念硬币。波特笔下这只倍受人们喜爱的小兔子成为了首位被印到英国硬币上的儿童文学角色。 The Royal Mint has chosen Beatrix Potter’s thieving Peter Rabbit as the first character from children’s literature ever to appear on a UK coin. 英国皇家铸币厂将首次把儿童文学中的角色印到硬币上,而这款硬币的主角就是儿童画家碧雅翠丝·波特笔下爱偷东西的彼得兔。 Peter, pictured in the blue jacket that he is forced to abandon in the garden of Mr McGregor when he is caught stealing vegetables, is captured on a special, coloured edition of a 50p coin available from today. The Royal Mint, which described Peter as “the most recognisable of Potter’s creations, and one of the most cherished from children’s literature”, will release uncoloured versions of the coin in change later this year. 彼得兔穿着偷吃麦奎格先生花园的蔬菜被发现后弄丢的蓝色夹克,彩色的50便士特别版纪念币现在已经可以买到了。英国皇家铸币厂将彼得兔誉为“波特笔下最知名的角色,儿童文学的瑰宝之一”。今年晚些时候,铸币厂还将推出可以流通的非彩色版彼得兔硬币。 |
