Tourists are once again getting into trouble in Italy, with two American women caught carving their names into Rome's Colosseum. 游客们在意大利又惹事了。2名美国女性游客日前在意大利的罗马斗兽场上刻字,被抓现行。 The Californians, aged 21 and 25, snuck away from their tour group on Saturday and began scratching their initials into the amphitheatre with a coin. They managed a “J” and an “N” around 8cm high, before taking a selfie with their handiwork. 这两人来自加州,分别为21岁和25岁。3月7日随团参观斗兽场的时候,她们脱离团队,用硬币在斗兽场的墙体上刻下各自名字的首位字母,高约8厘米,分别是“J”和“N”。接着,两人饶有兴致地玩起了自拍,还不忘把自己的“作品”照进去。 Police were quick to catch the two Americans and report them for damaging the ancient site. The women may now go in front of a judge and face a penalty. 这两名美国人在意大利破坏古代遗迹,很快就被当地警方抓了现行,即将受到法官的审判和相应的惩罚。 Defacing the walls is strictly forbidden, as pointed out on signs in both English and Italian. But some visitors think little of breaking the rules as they view the crumbling monument differently from other top sites such as the Vatican, said a spokesman for the Special Superintendency for the Archaeological Heritage of Rome. |
