A Chinese vase was sold for a record 5 million Swiss francs at a Geneva auction house, 10,000 times its original valued price of between 500 to 800 Swiss francs. 一只估价在500-800瑞士法郎的中国花瓶，近日在日内瓦一家拍卖行拍出了500万瑞士法郎的创纪录高价，为最初估价的1万倍。 The vase, 60 cm tall, which depicts three blue dragons against a yellow backdrop, is said to be from the 20th-century, but it bears an unverified mark most likely of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. 这只高60厘米、黄底上绘有3条青龙的花瓶据称制作于20世纪，但带有一个很可能属于清朝乾隆时期、真伪尚待确认的印章。 The buyer, an amateur from Asia, was in the room for the auction, while his competitor bid by telephone. 买家是来自亚洲的一名业余竞拍者，他是在拍卖室竞标的，而他的竞争对手都是通过电话来出价的。 |
