德國藝術家擬'重建'柏林牆
A group of artists said last Tuesday they're planning to build a facsimile of the Berlin Wall around a downtown Berlin block in mid-October.
一羣藝術家上週二表示，他們計劃10月中旬在柏林市中心的一個街區周圍建造柏林牆的複製品。Visitors of the art installation must buy "visas" online starting at 15 euros.
前往這一藝術設施的遊客必須在網上購買“簽證”，起價15歐元。When entering the walled area, they'll have to exchange their cellphones for a smartphone which will provide individual instructions for a tour including documentaries, exhibits or concerts.
進入這個圍牆內的區域時，遊客需用自己的手機換取一部智能手機，這部智能手機將爲他們提供個人參觀指南，包括紀錄片、展覽或音樂會。
The artists' group DAU, which is behind the project, says it wants to distribute between 1,500-3,000 "visas" per day.
此項目背後的藝術團體DAU表示，希望每天發放1500至3000份“簽證”。
Inside the walled block, there also will be viewing platforms from which visitors can peer outside into Berlin -- in contrast to the Cold War platforms where people could peek into East Berlin from the West.
這個有圍牆的街區內還設有觀景臺，遊客可以從觀景臺向外眺望柏林--這與冷戰時期的觀景臺不同，當時人們可以從西柏林窺視東柏林。The district that will be walled in lies on the city's downtown Unter den Linden boulevard and will include the famous State Opera, the Kurfuerstenpalais palace and other historical buildings.
該區域將沿着柏林市中心的菩提樹大道被城牆包圍，其中包括著名的國家歌劇院、選帝侯宮和其他歷史建築。The artists, who envision special dispensations for people who work or live inside the zone, are still waiting for the final OK from the city's authorities for their project.
藝術家們設想爲在該區域工作或生活的人提供特別的許可，不過目前他們仍在等待柏林市政府最終批准他們的項目。The wall will be torn down on Nov 9 -- 29 years after the original Berlin Wall came down. The original wall was built by communist East Germany and divided the city from 1961 to 1989.
這個柏林牆的複製品將於11月9日被推倒，這距離真正的柏林牆倒塌已有29年時間。原本的柏林牆由東德修建，並於1961年至1989年間將柏林分隔成爲兩個部分。
